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

Made a couple of plates for CMC

 

Just did mine!!

 

Before After... So I added the relentless fab CMC plates this weekend. Haven’t welded in over ten years but it’s a start!!! I sprayed everything down with undercoating even the pinch welds I banged back. I know I’m not the greatest welder, but IDGAF, it’s my truck and I’m happy with it.

 

Ill see if i can find it, if not ill snap a few pics of mine for you. It was very easy to do.

 

Modified a little bit, did the mechanical install for a Flex-a-Lite electric fan replacement to replace a failing clutch fan. Wiring it up tomorrow, thanks to help I got on this forum!

 

Nice....does it have a thermostatic control?

 

It does - and that (other than it being 103 in the driveway) is what slowed me down today. But, I was planning on 2 days anyway. The controller wants power, and an always on connection to run the fan in cool down when you turn off, AND, a fan clutch switch connection. Which was easier said that done. But, I got advise on how to get it at the fuse block - of course removed. I will be posting pictures. I'm using the Flex-a-Lite Controller.

 

I’d like to see more pictures.
I had flexilites on a 2002 f150 the controller failed on me, it fried. Hope technology has gotten better.

 

I do take step by step pix - because it gives me a break time! I will post back to this thread with all. I have not been great at adding pictures, so it may end up an album - but I will link. The controller is electromagnetic (relay - thermostat - hardwire thermocouple). I do NOT do offroad (other than the beach or a field), so my comments probably won't apply to the heavy duty users - but I fully expect it to function properly when well installed. (Solid joints, shrink, etc).

 

Much appreciated, man! Not sure what you mean by WS.. Did you mean backspace? Haha

EDIT: Now I have a feeling you mean wheel spacer. It's the 1.25" spacer by Spidertrax offset on the wheels is +9 so the spacers got me to -22 offset.

Thanks! I only go to a well known tires/alignment shop here that I always go for all my cars to so I was there when they did my alignment. I asked them to zero out my toe and camber while giving me as much positive caster as possible with the stock LCA(also stock UCAs). They did just that, toe and camber at 0 +/- 0.01 degrees and my caster is at 1.6 degrees with stock parts. Should be able to get more caster should I decide to bite the bullet and get some UCA's.

 

TPMS? Discount Tire. That or black tape.

 

Do you have to remove door panel to install these ? Thanks for the heads up on them.

 

Got some 20x12 moto metal with 33’s

SPC upper control arms
BDS basic rear shocks
Rear Shackle flip kit with extended shackles
SS rear brake lines

 

Might just take you up on that offer! Need a damn vacation!

 

Perfect for the choke rain we been getting lol

 

Do the door skins man, like the most outer part of the door thru the inside. Makes a massive difference. I'm spraying some after I take my headliner out. If u gona do it do it all the way.

 

That will be a job and a half now lol

Can I get away with removing the door inner, in order to have access to the door skin?

 

Hmm I'm not sure. The Amazon page only says that install instruction are provided upon purchase. They are either 1 piece that slides over the handle, or a piece your wrap around the handle and attach.

 

That's what I did, and it worked perfect, u don't have to pull the module cause it's very tight, just move to one side to access the blue wire, cut, ground, done, no more stupid light, 06 DCSB prerunner.

 

Holy axle wrap, Batman!
