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

Installed my first patch! And ate some very tasty jerky. Oh, and I washed the Taco before it goes subzero.....

 

Try a 3/8 spacer. That made it exactly level for me.

 

Busy week huh? Came out great. Are your bilsteins at the 2.5 setting in the front?

 

Thanks! Very busy, yes lol I've been planning these mods since July, so on black Friday I pulled the trigger. Everything was on sale so it was a good time to buy. No I set them @ 1.75. I read the 4cyl should not be set @ 2.5, I'm guessing because they're lighter in the fronts than the V6.

 

Merry Christmas Pat

 

Makes sense, I have the 4cyl too. Just went with OME 884s and they're quite stiff compared to Bilstein/stock coils at 1.75 notch. Thinking about switching to an ARB front bumper to help with that.

How's the 2.7l with those bolt ons?

 

Painted my skids today from sos offroad concepts

 

I've got that same one. Immediately regretted not getting the bigger one

 

Not too bad? The add-ons are definitely noticable. It's no V6 by any means, but it's enough for what I need. I've been surprised by the 4 cylinders power since I got it, good torque for a 4 banger.

 

The husky stacked ones are so cheap, but the Home Depot I went to didnt have them. About a week later went to a different one and they had the big one for $100 more than the bench. Sunofabitch. Excuse to buy another though...

 

I had a budget I was trying to stay in, so I opted to keep the stock coils. So far, I think the ride is great. A bit firmer than stock (which it needed), but not too firm. Your bumper should definitely soften things up for you, no doubt. Good luck

 

I agree! Besides highway speeds I have not felt like I needed more power. After 3rd gear it couldn't hardly get out of its own way though.

 

Really? That's where I was impressed by it the most. It's fairly hilly where I live (highest point in Ohio), and cruise on @ 70+ it actually maintained speed!? I was shocked. Is yours an auto or manual tranny?

 

What brand is that one? I like it.

Installed an early Christmas present today, wish I had done this sooner. Snipped a length off then rewrapped the package

 

Manual. I commuted biweekly from Atlanta to Sumter SC over the summer and went through some hills. I didn't need to shift into 4th unless I really wanted to or was trying to pass at the same time. It does hold it's own for a 4 cylinder for sure! If I had more space in my reg cab I wouldn't ask for anything else out of it.

I would love a lift though. I'll keep dreaming.

 

I agree. Well I'm not sure what your looking for exactly, but my Bilstien's and Toytec AAL were pretty reasonable price wise. I got them from Bilstienlifts.com.
