@EatSleepTacos lol

 

I immediately think of you literally any time a diff drop is mentioned

FWIW my views have changed. I don’t have one. Pretty negligible difference, so I’ll take that $30 and buy chickfila instead.

They just got crossed off my list

 

“Let me just make an obviously blunt, low hanging thing on a skid plate for this truck that I race. What could possibly go wrong?”

That thread doesn’t apply to 99.99999999% of Tacoma drivers.

 

Been fiddling with some grill lighting (quazi Raptor like). Certainly not done, by any means. Just coming up with some mounting options and initial test fitting. I fashioned some mounts out of black plastic. Still brainstorming though.

Powered them up with a 9v battery. So, they're a bit brighter than this with 12 volts running through them.

i just followed Tacomaholic's new video on youtube and changed my secondary breather (the UNI Filter mod). Anyone here with a 2nd gen tacoma needs to check this system and then do this "mod", none of us want damaged engines (if the secondary breather filter has gone bad)

 

Just sayin' one member gives a clearly documented reason not to have them (along with others who share that sentiment) whilst you just say it's not good to have a lift and not have one with zero supporting evidence... trust but verify, care to verify your statement?

 

The bolts are M10 x 1.25TP x 50mm(2”L). From what I’ve been reading on here and the website that sells these kits, it’s only the back you can raise since the are vertically shimmed. The fronts mount horizontally and all you would be doing is shimming it outward instead of upwards. The back actually makes a big diff, it levels out the chair instead of sitting in a 5gal bucket like someone mentioned on here.

 

My uhmwpe shims are 3/8" thick I am going to stack them going to try and raise the front a little at least. Thanks for letting me know now I can go pick some bolts up and complete this mod

 

Got my home-made Prinsu knock-off rack installed on my camper cap (shell, topper, whatever you call it where you live). I have a Gen-You-Wine Prinsu on the way for the cab, but they said they won't even be shipping until July 30.



Also installed a tailgate damper, but I'm not sure if I like it or not. When I close the tailgate, the factory support cable gets buggered up with the damper. I have to manually place the cable is just the right position or the gate won't close. (Notice how the cable is a little bit kinked from being folded and pinched.)

 

Typical problem with the ez down. Continued use will ruin the cable. I have not heard of a solution yet.

 

Fixed some scratches that were on my bumper and finally aligned my truck lol

 

@boogie3478 The inch does make a diff, you ride higher and can see better over the hood. I actually feel like I'm sitting upright in a chair and not with my ass slumped down. I do notice my lower back feels better after driving around for a while. 20 miles back and forth to work is pretty comfortable now. Probably one of the better mods I have done and did on company time with company parts on a Saturday! I love overtime!!

 

What catch can do you have? I think I might get one.
