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

Yeah my drill made those holes a PITA

 

Just got the truck back from Toyota after a full trans service (only 42,000) Kms on the truck but it’s towed from the first day off the lot so it was worth doing. Now when I turn hard, right especially the VSC comes on and apply’s the breaks in a corner. It’s only got a bilstein 2.5” lift on it and never had this issue until now. For as many trucks I see on here lifted I know it’s a common issue but just seems odd that I now have to routinely shut it off on any windier sections of roads. The trailer sway control is a cool feature if anyone’s ever had it come on. Trucks a 2015 DCLB

 

What does this cost? I’ve thought about attempting it myself, but quality vinyl would run me like $6-800. And if I screw it up well that’s money lost lol. I’m sure some of it I could do. But always wondered about what the price was to drop it off and pick it up

 

Just a heads up... if you have a "off road" version with 2nd battery system ...my pass side mount is exactly where the battery post is......will have to move the bracket forward to fit it...callled Redline...they said it should be ok to move upper and lower the same amount..im gonna tape everything in the new location as a mock up, make sure hood closes etc b4 trying th install.......

 

You like them?

 

Yep it’s all better now. I finally talked to the kid that did it. He forgot to pump the brakes and had to compress the calipers to get them off so that was the clunk sound and brakes not working for a moment. Then I bent back the dust cover and could see where it was rubbing so it’s all better now.

 

Lol I’m sorry man but the dust some how some way made it’s way behind the camera lense I do commercial hvac and dropped my phone off a snorkel lift and I guess it made an opening for dust to get in I have scrubbed the lense like crazy with no effect lol . Will be buying new phone soon . Here’s a pic of the grill I got it off eBay . It’s fits pretty good would suggest using the weather strip off ur old grill . With the ventshade on I couldn’t close the hood so I just removed to rubber gasket and I’ll eventually put the old on on when I get some good double sided tape

 

So far, yes. My son has them in his 4Runner and they work great so I expect the same with these.

 

FWIW I replaced my camburgs with SPC. MY alignment guy said it was much easier to get the SPC within spec than with my previous uniball camburgs. BAll bearings are more durable as well. My uniballs had rusted out and caused me to fail MA vehicle inspection.

 

Installed sumosprings on rear end.

Oh, I did not realize it was a grill replacement. Thanx!

 

Is that a window in your intake to see if the filter is dirty?

And the head unit: (I probably would spend a little more on the head unit in hindsight. This one has a couple annoying little quirks, but it gets the job done)

Got her off road the other day and then all cleaned up once Home

 

Thanks

 

Mounted my KO2's love the look and ride, close to the fender liner at full lock but no rubbing! We will see how it goes when I can get some off road flexing.

 

Met up with some of the Minnesota guys from here and hung out for a bit.

 

Which rig is yours?
