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

Well, they haven’t even been on for 24hrs.. but the ride home on the interstate after the install was much better. I was running stock UCAs after my lift and the truck just wanted to wonder.. After the install no wondering or jerks while driving and lane shifting. The one thing I didn’t like is how the ABS bracket didn’t fit the shape of them, but just took a little tinkering with it. But can’t beat the price AND the service and pride the company has! Lift time warranty with a certificate they send you too

 

Nice looking truck. I like the pyrite mica, that was my second choice and sometimes I wish it was my first choice. Where did you get the badge that covers the holes in the front bumper cover left over from you front plate removal?

 

How much does the rear bumper weigh? I have the body armor front bumper and that thing is HEAVY! I love it now that it's on but the install sucked.

 

Installed led fog lights got from another member. Need to get some for headlights

 

Nice looking sport!! I could be a bit biased.. but i love that barcelona red

 

Noticed after the install of my UCAs the wheels now rub on the mud guards when turning sharp.. should they go away when it’s aligned?

 

How did you conclude that the body mounts were popping?

I went through the same issue. My mechanics couldn't find the popping, but hooked up the chassis ear and it seemed to point to the body mount. Long story short, got it replaced and no more popping. I have a 2014 Tacoma with 15K miles on it. Never expected a body mount to give problems this early.

About 80lbs, mine went on easy with the help of a floor jack.

 

100lbs with all the hardware.

 

Thanks it grew on me now I love it. not many out there. Your truck looks sweet I’m jelly you got a 6 speed.

 

Thanks man! Yeah whenever i was looking for one, i pretty much had made my mind up that id take any color i could get as long as it was the 6spd and 4x4 in a double cab.. the only color i couldve wanted more than barcelona red was either black or inferno.. but both of those were a long shot.. couldnt be happier with the truck! Cant wait till i can afford to supercharge it!

 

Rolled 80K last night....

 

Built a bed rack. If you squint hard enough the welds look ok. Still deciding on paint.

 

That’ll be sweet an a fun truck to drive. My criteria was under 30k under 40000 miles an 4x4 this was the only truck I found within 250miles of me an I’m glad I got it. Got the suspension done saving up for armor but it has to last me 10years at least for DD duties so no boost for me 52mi commute one way to work gonna leave drivetrain alone.

 

Yes you most likely have a lot of negative caster right now, pushing the wheel back in the wheel well.

Wait til you roll 85 more.

 

You shoulda been Rollin 80km for the pic.

 

I Don't mind them when they have an Offroad bumper, I am just not a huge fan of how the Flares are connected to the bottom of the front bumper. Not terrible, but I prefer the stock look. Doesn't matter now! Might have to grow on me!

 

I know what you mean regarding having a hard time finding a good one.. i searched for nearly 8 months for mine and finally came across a gem (a '13 with only 24500 miles on it) which had hardly been driven and the way it looked, was clearly garaged its whole life. I paid top dollar for it but i didnt care because it was exactly what i wanted! I think it was owned by an older guy before me because it smelled like the previous owner lol but i wasnt complaining because he babied it for sure! I really dont think i couldve gotten any luckier.. i figured when buying a 6spd it was either going to be owned by a kid that liked a clutch, or an older person that had been driving them their whole life

Im also daily driving mine but only about 50 miles total a day, so im just crossing my fingers and hoping that itll hold up to a little boost for a while. If it doesnt, ill just have to find another used 4.0 and drop it in there when this one finally craters.. but ill definitely have some fun with it. Id like to make a bit of a sleeper out of it and burn a few ricers from time to time
