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

Yes I have, In fact I have one on the shelf, just haven't installed it, it would work perfect on my truck as a few years ago I installed a heavy duty skid plate, so it would be completely safe from any road hazard, not sure why I am waiting, (maybe old school thinking)

 

I always thought the same, but once I installed it I’m in love. It’s so darn handy, and I would highly recommend throwing it on.

 

According to other members of this site, everything up the forest roads off of Beckler can be done in a stock truck. The only lift on my truck is the baja trd kit and Icon AAL in the rear. Other than that I'm basically stock, which is why I started there

 

im curious what the specs are for the stock UCAs, and the pecs for the ones that adjust for lift, hmmm.

 

looks like really good stuff, the coil overs are very adjustable, 2.5 to 5 in lift.

 

I agree, I like the little bling in the middle. Looks good.

 

I have been hit 3 times in the ass. Barely skinned the hitch paint, but man the damage to 2 of them.

 

The only downfall to theese is that they aren't serviceable and have no grease zerk, I believe you have to buy the ball joint specifically from freedom, and I'm the same way the most I do is light trails "gas roads" and strip mines. I don't plan on beating my truck on trails...I got my good ole Honda for that

 

Late entry: on my last trip back to CONUS (I'm a support contractor for an FMS F/A-18 operator overseas), I replaced all timing chains, #1 cam phaser, all cam sensors/solenoids, cleaned all the sludge and carbon deposits out of the cam areas and pan, cleared the blocked oil returns, replaced the damaged drivers rear wheel hub, flushed the oil system, tune up, multiple oil changes to clean out debris from passages, and got it to pass Texas inspection.

Just an FYI: be careful who your kids have do your reccomended service intervals....an unscrupulous "professional" mechanic damn near ruined my engine by putting garbage oil in it every change in the last 3 years while I was overseas. I spoke to a shop I trust, and them repairing everything would have run over $6k.

Lawyer has all the receipts from oil changes, the old parts, an oil sample, pictures, and is waiting on the sample I sent off before he advises me about suing the shop that "performed oil changes" over the last 3 years.

I was pulling ROCKS of carbonized oil out of the heads and timing cover, along with the PIECES of the #1 cam phaser.

 

Any pictures?

 

In the hands of my lawyer. Can't post them.

Yet.

 

You'll like that Sony. I had a problem with how the software handles a "powered only when in Reverse" backup camera, but it's all straight now. Nice sound, and CarPlay is a game changer, just like everyone says.

 

My son t-boned a Malibu a couple years ago. Totalled the car, $12k in repairs to my truck...amazed they didn't total out the truck!

BLATANT PROMO WARNING!

The crew at the collision center at Durant Toyota in Hudson Oaks, Texas did a FANTASTIC job rebuilding the front of my truck! The only way to tell any damages existed is one headlight is new, the other isn't.

 

I installed a new head unit to replace the factory one. It's an android head unit and has so many features on it. To give an idea it's a little over 10 inches wide. But with the Scosche 2 din dash kit it fit perfect no extra screws needed for being so big. It has awesome sound equalizer built in it. And if you wanted something different you could download your own apps
