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

If you make too many claims then your insurance goes up. Fix the small things yourself.

 

Someone somewhere was saying a guy got his tires slashed and truck broke into within 8 months of each other, made claims on both, insurance dropped him afterwards.

 

American family did that after a storm did 50k in damages to my old house.

 

Changed the foglight housing to yellow. Bought the set made for Toyota camry but needed a little trimming on one of the screw slot.

 

Love that grille. Me want

 

Would you happen to know if these latches are all the same size? I was looking on Amazon but it only says for 2016-2018 Tacoma’s! TIA!

 

Did you do the install yourself? How easy was it? I'm looking at the same kit but I've never done an entire suspension before.

 

Thanks. It’s been 2 years since I’ve installed it. It kept the bugs out of the radiator during long trips.

 

I believe they are all the same size. Someone mentioned you can get them on the wish shopping app.

 

Mirror riser came like a day after I ordered it. Got dang. Extra inch or so of visibility is nice, that's my main complaint about the Tacoma, visibility

 

Added a badass new sticker!

I had some help from some friends. Without them though, it probably would have taken another hour or so. It was my first time replacing any suspension parts. There are quite a few videos showing the process on youtube (however the UCA bolt was way harder than any of the videos made it look). My suspension was original so it had 10 years of crud/rust/salt buildup on everything, so I did have to use a sawzall to get some of the rear shock parts out. Also the center alignment pin on the leaf pack needed to be ground off as the nut was just spinning on the bolt and there was no way to stop it. The leaf pack came with a new pin to no worries.

I don't think I'm going to do UCAs and I'm getting the struts assembled so I don't think it should be too hard .

 

I got mine assembled as well. Didnt want to mess with a spring compressor, or trying to use the truck's weight to do it. Not worth the hassle.

 

How was the shipping? I live in an apartment building so shipping stuff gets a little sketchy. I know on the website it says it requires a signature. For important stuff I have them hold it at the FedEx/UPS store. Did it come in manageable boxes that I could carry out myself? How many if you remember?
