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

Where are you? I have one just sitting on a shelf since I built drawers.

 

Picked up front and rear 5100s today for a steal! So stoked to get them put on this Sunday!

 

Took photos... haha. What 3 inch is everyone running for best road or close to OEM ride comfort? haven't been on here in years and made a new profile. thinking about upgrading.

 

Gel inserts in my weathertech mats... Shout out to @CBoy808

 

Yea I used Sylvania silver stars. They have the same headlights that come with a HID ballasts and bulbs though

 

Got a new axe

and I made my fire extinguisher mount. Now just time to prime and paint

 

With a 3" lift and 3 degree+ of caster you can run 255/85r16s which is a much better tire size for a Taco than 285 due to the narrower width. You will need to remove the front flaps all the time and the rears off road in either instance.

 

I replaced the PRNDL with new numbers and backlight color.
Also did some little detailing (chrome purple) on the inside.

 

A little early to tell but my stock OEM suspension wore out at 30k, I must have been due to the 300lbs of skids Just put some ADS clickers and I love the ride. Still working through a few noises and torqued it up again after 100 miles. funny how things loosen up. Will be getting some 285/75/16's for daily driving and 285/70/17's for the trails at a later date. I only gained 2.5" but for now I am not making changes to the factory pre-loads. I guess now that I look back I would have put the ADS on in the beginning just to get a great ride. It makes the stock OEM suspension look bad. As I was installing I notices I must have been riding on the bump stops frequently.

 

Ah shoot gotta get on this one

 

4200 might be a better choice if he wants to remove it.

 

So I did a thing today...
TACO for the win!

Adjust the shock up

 

Best bang for the buck for you would be bilstein 5100 all around, OME 887 coils up front and an AAL in the rear.

 

I just got mine wanted to know how people mounted it

 

Did you use aftermarket uca?

 

This seems to work well. I am going to put some silicone around the holes I drilled to keep the water out.

 

Installed an OEM back up camera last night....last weekend, I crawled underneath and saw that it did indeed come pre-wired. It took me a total of about 15 mins...gotta like those nice plug n' play mods.

First pic shows that the wire was plugged into a blank plug. I swapped it out with the camera, plugged it in, did an Ops check, and closed her up.

 

Lol. If you run that much camber you're tires are going to hate you and you'll look like one of those slammed civics. Now caster on the other hand...

 

I won $100 at work so I Ordered Rago Fab Ditch light mounts, got 10% off. Also ordered Black Oak LED ditch light pods, 15% off 40watt flood, with removable amber covers. Should be 6,240 extra lumens up front. First buy for me from Black Oak LED, so we’ll see how they hold up. American Made, Veteran Owned, Lifetime warranty.

Will post pictures when they come in as well as install.

SPod is next
