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

It's actually not that bad a lift as its been said it was. Poor man's lift for sure, but I've taken my kids and been airborne twice and no problems or new noises. I didnt even check anything afterwards. Just keeps going without issues. For the price, I've been very pleased.... Thanks for asking....

 

Ugly truck with an even uglier view

 

Digging the American flag, nice touch!

 

In all honesty, I have jumped this truck mildly enough to get all four hovering above the ground for a couple of seconds. Felt the suspension hit full droop for a couple of seconds til all four hit the ground again.. Softly il might add. Then, only then did I take my kiddos for a small jump after I knew all would fair well....
This suspension isn't so bad. I would have zero gripes if the adjustment knobs didnt suck on these XL9000's...

 

I can't find a picture of it right now, but I put mine right behind the rearview mirror. I plugged it in and turned it on so I could see right where the lens cleared the dark part of the windshield, and stuck it right there. It's hidden pretty nicely there from the inside and outside.

For power, I ran the wire in the ceiling down to the A pillar, down through that and into the fuse box. I then tapped with an add-a-fuse.

Let me know if you have any questions, and if you want pics I can try to take some tomorrow.

 

Kept seeing these so now I just pulled the trigger on them

 

Got my new wheels and tires mounted today. 315 75 r16 STT Pro's on Matte Dark Bronze Ray 10's.

 

Hit the pay and spray on the way home from work. Hosed off all the dust from the weekend.

Also... Oil change again. I got just over 3 months outta this past oil change.

 

'Foxwing' awning mounted up.

 

damn that is NICE!

 

Finally
put my queen size "soft topper" on today

 

Bruhhh
So purdy..

 

Shit looks good Travis I take it you had everything clearances already for the new tires. Looks damn good look forward to hearing how well they perform

 

They can be found cheaper on ebay. I just got one a few weeks ago, from another seller. I was going to get this one at 180 (now lower price) but another seller had 1 for 160 so I snagged that one. Worked great, and is spot on. I posted a link a couple of weeks ago or so, but this thread spins so fast it's buried by now.

Interesting... you ran it to the fuse box. How did you wire it then, meaning, did you use the power cord it came with and cut it, and what fuse did you run it to?? Definitely curious about that, so if you don't mind posting some pics and info, that'd be awesome. I already have an add-a-fuse in there, so wondering if I could use that. It's there for my light bar switch.

 

Mine came with a hard wiring cord, this one:

So I tied that onto an add-a-fuse and tapped here:

Gotcha. Mine only came with cigarette lighter cord/plug. I wonder If I can get that one you got, and have it still work.

Thanks a lot for the pics, info, and idea!

 

That snorkle looks great on there. Great looking truck.


@EatSleepTacos will you look at how great this snorkel turned out.

Truck looks great with the black steelies. You have really tied in all the mods together nicely

I have had mine sitting in a drawer for 3 months

 

oooo, that's nice. I need this in my life!

 

Do the hilux and follow the great write up @inesshell put up in his build thread. You are lucky enough to have @fatfurious2 close by that can lend a hand with the installation.
