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

That is pretty slick. I may never do it, but I would be interested in a write-up anyways.

 

Big Bend National Park down in Texas. I need some good Karma but I will settle with the dogs were okay.

 

Well I'm the cute girl that rescued the 4 dogs and the poor woman that I also pick up was not doing well. I hope she made better decisions after that.

 

Tomorrow’s duties

 

When I rebuilt Fire Trucks for the Air Force in the early 80's we had an Old Man who worked full time painting all the doors and labeling all the valves etc. by hand. It really looked good when He was done. He could throw down some serious hand drawn pin stripes on a vehicle too.

 

That is totally awesome!
Great Job!

Thanks for placing your order, you should receive a confirmation email shortly!

After being unable to nurse my bumper along anymore I broke down and ordered a ARB Deluxe today. I know others recommended CBI Etc. but I liked the compatibility with airbags etc. In three months I will pull the trigger on the Dakars and 885's up front.

 

Had some time so updated the DIY roof rack whith some more cross supports. Anyone know where I can get square nuts for the Yakima rails? What I came up with didn't quite work out.... So it's only four supports mounted to the rails instead eight like I wanted.

 

Wow really? Thats crazy, and your dad must be pretty good with photoshop also lol.

 

Looks great!

 

BAMF Sliders(10 degrees w kickout) bolted up. Not a single issue or modification required. I did managed to break two of the white clips so the hardlines are zip tied until I ordered replacements. Not a big deal. Took me little over an hour with a 15min break by myself. Next up is the lift.

 

Nice what lift you going w/?

 

Drove to work after my transmission flush last night and everything went good I'll be checking for drops when I leave work in the morning (I stripped the drain plug bolt like an asshole because the torque was so high but it's pretty tight)
I feel like the truck shifts "easier" now but either way there's new fluid in there so i feel good about it. Maybe I'll tear apart the old filter to see what was caught. I ordered an oil test kit from Blackstone just to see what was up with the fluid.
Did my front differential too and I don't think it has ever been changed because the fluid was completely gray

My transmission fluid was brown it'll be interesting to see what Blackstone has to say about it

 

OME 884/5100s/HS 1/4 spacer. Wheelers progressive AAL and u bolt flip kit. Its been sitting in the garage since Nov. Finally have time these next couple weeks to get stuff done.

 

Sorry guys. This isn't on my taco, on my 85 instead. Cost was $100 for the springs from PnP and about $20 for some 3.5" square tubing to build the hangers. Grade 8 bolts cost me another $10.

I just mentioned it for cost comparison.

 

Thanks man! It looks like it's really close to the canopy top but it doesn't move enough to touch it when I stand on it. Lol. I'm happy with it... being I have to move across the country in less than a month.

 

Might want to look at the 885's, I have them with the wheeler's progressive AAL, and when bed is fully loaded with RTT, and lots of camping gear, water and fuel it is about dead level. No weight it sits about 1 inch higher than front w/5100's &885's.

 

Looking good! Sliders are definitely on my list!

 

I’ve hauled a few loads this big with no problems, but I would like to upgrade and get rid of my lift blocks. Just can’t decide what to get. I’m a buy once, cry once kind of guy.

 

Installed the new grill!!
