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

As promised, more pics! I'm not one of 'those people' who always say they're going to post more pics, and never do.

 

Well not all today but over the last couple I got to install the lift. 5100's with eibach coils and top plate spacers for n front along with Camberg uca's and superbumps



Wheeler's 3 leaf aal retaining the over load springs and a 5mm drivers side shim, Bilstein 5125's, and All pro ubolt flip with super bumps.


While I was under there I went ahead and did the rear diff breather relocate, OME CB drop, and chopped off the tail pipe





That was fun I just took my time and enjoyed myself

 

I already have a spare OEM fender and painted to match the original color.

 

Thanks I got it aligned today and pulled perfect numbers to me. It's more of an overlanding truck pulling my little micro off road camper so I didn't need anything too fancy. I've got the sliders and skids in the garage waiting

 

My first patch!

 

And THAT, my friends, is what it's all about!!

 

Yes sir this is supposed to be fun! I'm home recovering from shoulder surgery so this keeps me entertained. I enjoy doing my own work rt now it's just a challenge with 1 arm

 

I'm seeing double


Yours is cleaner, for now lol

 

Cool! Yep for now it's clean and may stay that way for a while until the doc releases me to go off road then Katie bar the door

 

I completely understand that challenge my friend! My wife had a brain stem stroke 9 years ago, and has only very limited use of her right arm & hand. Simple tasks you take for granted suddenly become monumental hassles with 1 hand.
Take it easy and heal well!

 

red just looks so bad ass rolling down the road. i understand the reasoning though.

 

Anybody need a ECGS bearing removal tool?

 

Are you going to replace the sliders you sold with something else?

 

I'll probably wait until this weekend to disconnect the batt. I haven't contacted the dealership yet either to let them know it's still doing it. I wonder if tranny fluid level is low and that might be causing it. I'm not going to do the full tranny flush until this gets resolved. I'll keep you posted.

 

I agree
I sent them a thank you email and I would recommend them without hesitation
And
The new springs ride great even without any weight in the bed!

 

Not sure yet. I moved to New York and I don't know how much use I will get out of them up here.

 

Damn did you design and build those? Also is that a CAD program?

 

I'm running the tundra version of these. 1500lbs @ 3"compression. The tacoma version does 1000lbs @ 3". Great ride.

 

Yeah fair enough. Any specific adhesive that works good for emblems without taking the paint off with it when its removed? Ive been using the 3M double sided tape for most things but feel like it would take forever to cut out all the emblems with that stuff

 

Replaced the old factory headlights with a black version I bought off Ebay, was planning on cracking them open and retro-fitting Halos into them as well but realised the design im looking at is going to be over $850 CAD just in lights/halos/projectors.. So probably going to hold off on the retrofit for a while
