What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

+1 for BFF

​

 

Where are you located? That plays a big factor for me personally, because you may be able to save on shipping which isn't cheap.

 

For reference

 

X2 on the location part.

 

BFF ships through Fastenal...for both bumpers shipped to NC I'm pretty sure it was under or around $200

 

Dakars EL095R, Bilstein 5125s, wheelers flip kit.

 

But SOS is about 1 1/2-2 hours away from me, which means zero shipping for me. I also have a Fastenal in town. It all comes down to what bumper he likes the most.

 

Sure. I'm just throwing out a vendor option. What anyone likes or can afford is on them.

 

Alignement, and what a HUGE IMPROVEMENT on the ride quality! For anyone lifted, spend the extra money and don't look back!

 

Well had to replace the battery with this. Don't care for it, but I need my truck for a trip and the soonest I could get a X2 power here was over a week and a Northstar over 2 weeks.

At least I found what killed my old battery. A short in the rear bed power assembly I had put in. One of the components is bad. Leave it till another day to troubleshoot, just pull the feed fuse and go trippin'.

 

Nothing fancy, but ordered some Bosch Icon wiper blades.

 

Boots down huh? Is that how your stock shocks were mounted?

 

That's how the 5125s roll.

 

What were you able to figure out? I moderate over on TN and the photo bucket change in policy has left a disaster...

 

Post 5100 install alignment

 

First attempt at derping anything...

I have the CaliRaised SS pods, I bought the Rigid covers and they do fit (with some persuasion).

I really don't want "Rigid" on the covers since I'm not running their pods, and I don't want someone getting the idea to take them based on the Rigid name.





Not having actual painters tape might have messed me up, but the edges came out horrible. Gonna have to peel it off and try again tomorrow.

Any tips for getting clean lines with the Derp?

 

If someone is going to steal your lights, they won't care if it says Rigid. I would just leave them as is. Looks better than putting ghetto lines across the usable portion of the light...imo...

 

Did you try removing the lettering with Acetone?

 

No suggestions on the Derping, but a question for you. Are the Rigid covers for those lights sold in pairs or as singles? I've got the same Cali Raised lights, and I'll need some solid black covers to be technically legal.
