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

Not today but over the weekend Installed CST spindles along with new pro comp wheels and cooper AT3 tires.

 

Are you modding that Chevy with that bumper?!

 

So today I checked the PSI in all my tires because my TPMS light has been on for a couple days now. I figured it was because of the cold and it would turn off, but it hasn't so far. 32psi in all four tires. So I figured maybe it was the spare tire. Nope, there is no sensor in the spare. So do I have a bad sensor or or is there a way to recalibrate the computer that reads the tire pressure??

 

Been a couple weeks, just getting around to posting. Installed my ALLPRO EXPOS, ubolt flip, and reinstalled my ride rite airbags w/ DAYSTAR cradles. Thanks to @inesshell for the help and pictures of his setup. Had to fab a new bracket "leg" that extends down from the DAYSTAR cradle base to the axle for support. With the ALLPROs I was about 3" shy of the original support leg from touching the axle. Also had Wheelers Super bumps to go on the back but when installing the air bags I couldn't use them. So I unbolted the actual rubber bump off of its mounting base that bolts to the ubolt flip plate, and the bump support base was exactly the right height and position to use as a base for my DayStar cradles. So I took the rubber Super bump and put my old carrier bearing drop kit bolts in (they were the exact length and threads I needed, and I have a Tom Woods one piece drive shaft, so no need for a CB drop) and removed my OEM front bumps and threaded the Super Bumps in. Worked perfectly. So now my air bags act as bump stops, I have them deflated to about 5 psi when unloaded, then when I load up (I carry around 600# when on a trip and about 200# on a daily basis) I inflate to about 20-25 psi. This setup works perfectly for me. Keeps me at the stance I want. I'm about 1.5" higher in the back unloaded, so when loaded up, with a few more psi added to the bags, I should retain this stance. Pics might help explain my horrible writing and run on sentences. And my wonderful wife and awesome camping companion got "us" (but she knows it's "mine") a Tembo Tusk skottle! Excited to be able to cook anything and everything on this, and just have it in one bag. My little buddy Andy wanted to be in the picture for size reference

 

i shaved my flip bolts down to the nut to get the brackets to seat closer as well if that helps also

 

I would like to see a picture of the Chevrolet parked next to your new bumper

 

Read your manual. There is a button under the steering wheel to reset it.

 

Yeah, if you look real closely at one of the pictures, you can see the Super Bump plate I left in place on the flip kit plate as a spacer. It put my DAYSTAR cradle plate at the perfect height, they just sit perfectly on top of the ubolt so. Couldn't have worked out any better. I was lucky. I didn't want to have to cut down my ubolts, not that confident in my hacksaw skills.

 

Well i noticed some mystrey dust coming from somewhere a few weeks back. Today decided to take door apart and deaden the front ones between today and tomorrow. Well apperently my crossover fell out of my zipties and due to my 2 15s on 4k watts shaking everything in the cab. The crossover bounced its way into the foam behind door and made 1 helll of a mess notice the cavity that is crossover shaped?


On a different note this happened

 

Tire gate was in the way of the back up camera, so I decided to make a mounting plate. Not the nicest but it does the job.

 

Is that 3.5" of lift? Where did you get it from if you don't mind me asking

 

its pearl white....pictures never do it justice...

 

Nope.....but I am modding the Chevy....

 

I had my rear bumper installed it is a Pelfreybilt.

 

Duh, yeah my bad, I've even seen that button before and completely forgot it was there. Thanks for the heads up.

 

And it's very nice!

 

Very nice!!

 

Thanks man, that’s the day I bought it. I’ll post some pics when I finish it...

 

Park that beast for the winter! Snow salt and American Iron do not go together

 

If I wasn’t under the weather it would be on my truck instead of the garage floor.
