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

How long have you had them on your truck,and have they held up well?

 

6-7 Months. yea. I've driven through almost all kind of weather, mostly on road, with some mild off-road. no problems yet. They stay put, and no cracks or anything. Very happy with them so far, Especially at a little more than half the cost of the weathertechs.

 

With the u-bolt flip kit I wont be able to use the stock bump stop right?
If so, can you recommend a u-bolt flip kit and bump stops that would work for that kit?

 

I went with All-Pro's flip kit, and Wheelers Super Bumps. Quick shipping and super easy install. I recommend them both.

Same here.

 

What did you set the 5100's at? Did you notice a new stance/height of the vehicle after you installed those KO2's?

 

So just an update and I have to tell someone?
The wife gets sick of hearing about it.
The guy who did my frame (Jim) at Handys in St Albans VT did a fn awesome job for me and after a few days of use it just gets better.
Exposed bolt threads coated with grease. Anything mating to another part has grease unless torques are necessary.
No rattles drives like the 17 I had for a loaner. With the exception of my dirty tracs which are a little noisy.
Door hinges greased, bushings well greased with suppiled supper lube.
Gotta say I was stressing over the frame swap!!!
Who wouldn’t it’s like major surgery on a loved one!
It’s been absolutely painless and they did a awesome job as of now!

Also the hook I acquired was from a 80’s land cruiser?
He left the stock tie down in the extra cab if I wanted to switch them. He is a sub for the dealer gets a flat rate. Said he didn’t have to torch anything an had extra time for extras.
How cool sorry if I am gloating but I am so happy my baby is back and is more awesome than before!

 

I drilled and backed out a bolt I snapped when installing my antenna mount. Went way better and faster than I planned. (Gold bolt is the replacement) Need to get a washer for it now.

 

Do I need extended brake lines for both front and rear?

 

Doubtful. What are you doing?

 

lifting my truck about 3 inch

 

They're not needed to compensate for the lift but many do them for the marginally better braking performance or piece of mind, myself included.

 

Managed to get one today... a bit dirty on the side but this should give you an idea.

 

what about when you go off road causing the suspension to flex a lot, will the stock brake lines still be enough?

 

Yep

 

I did black on black with an American flag on mine. Put it over the Tacoma though.


wish i had a closer pic lol

 

Got my backup lights wired and mounted to the underside of my bedrack. Love the low-pro look

 

Having these installed next Thursday. Posted my existing/still mounted Toyo Open Country AT2's (only 2 yrs old with 30K miles) on CL for $200. Got a buyer lined up for the Friday after.

 

OME suspension with some new wheels & tires to match this weekend, love the look but I gotta figure out how to get the handling a little better. Presently a bit squirrelly at high speeds, either gonna wait until I get my Demello bumper & winch installed to see if that helps or go ahead and bite the bullet and get new UCAs.
