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

I’m saying everything was fine, but he ran stiffeners to prevent damage. Shit got damaged anyways regardless of stiffeners

edit: The side/fender is what got damaged by spreading anyways. There's no way for the stiffeners to prevent that.

 

A few beers later and a gallon of sweat she's washed and waxed again gotta love this west Virginia humidity

 

Looks sharp!!

 

Saw another Taco in the lot today... parked next to it. TACO POWER!

 

its not fitting right because he broke his bed haha. Kinda helped me to decide on bed stiffeners myself. Didn't want to go his route if I could prevent it. Have a constant load on the rear myself

 

Painted all the badges BLUE! Then for no other reason than giving my Taco a better look, I took off the step bars.

 

Thanks man I’m ab to order some here in a min so that would be awesome I’ll shoot ya a message when they arrive

 

How do you like this head unit and which is it? I’ve been thinking about an iPad install but would like to avoid the cutting and bondoing

 

Hahaha thank you

 

What do you not like about the E-locker?

 

New member but long time lurker here.

This is the before


This is after the 3in lift and new wheel/tire set up



(my mom approves lol)

TRD pro wheels: 17x7 matte grey (I’m sure most member know this)

Tires: 275/70/17 Cooper STMAXX

I was surprised how the wheel/tire set up came out, they stick out from the fender about an inch. Perfect stance for me.

Waiting for my JBA UCAs to be delivered to correct my 3in alignment (next week) and new headlamps (black housing, amber corners).

 

agreed.

I just don't see the stiffener doing anything to help the problem.

 

I love the carplay too, but how do I turn the ringer volume down?

 

On the phone or the head unit? I have a Pioneer too and when I turn the ringer down it turns the call volume down too.

 

The blue badges are cool and I like it without the steps but that’s just me

 

Looks great: yes they are a tight fit with the high clearance bumpers:

 

I have to roll a little before engagement or disengagement. Can't use it in 2wd nor 4hi. It's electric.

 

Has anyone made their own bed stiffeners? I feel like it would be very straight forward to make.

 

well I installed them after my bed was already bowed. Unfortunately it only lasted a year or so until the bed got to the fubar'd position.

before and after's when first installed
before passenger
after passenger
before driver
after driver

compared to the passenger side when it got really bad with the stiffeners.

so they do help, but who knows.
