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

Got mine yesterday as, I'll sell mine to lol, I live in Cali, not much rust here, my 06 looks good

 

Those the Dobinson bolts? I looked at them a bunch when I was putting my lift in, but they were sold out everywhere when I looked.

I'm in the same boat with my LCA bolts/bushings like we've talked about before. This may be the excuse I need to "justify" swapping to the new LSK lowers while I'm replacing $50 in bolts

 

could be the brake shield in the front if it got bent it could be scrapping on something.

 

There was another one on the tailgate as well. Glad to get those off.

 

Are you rubbing at all with the -20mm offset? Looks like they stick out just about the same as my wheels... I have a 0 offset wheel, with spacers, that effectively makes my offset -25/-30 mm or so, and I was rubbing everywhere. Had to trim plastic, hammer pinch weld, and CMC. I still rub a little on plastic, but only in reverse, and only in a certain range of the wheel arc.

 

Great looking truck! I'd buy your old wheels if you were closer!

 

I was actually going to comment on the sticker when I commented on the lights and grill surround. Glad you took it off, looked stupid IMO. I took all of my dealer stickers and license plate surround off the day I brought Betty home. I've been leaning pretty hard towards de-badging too.

 

What's up with ur old ones, are they for sale?

 

I hate those things so much I want to take them of OTHER peoples cars. Guy at work got a nice Cavalry T4R Pro and he's still got the dealer badge. Another guy has a sweet little Subaru with the sticker. Drives me nuts!

 

they were sold

 

Dam

 

I had a CMC done, trimmed some plastic from the bottom of the flare and took a corner out of the fender liner from the bottom corner. I haven't been able to flex the truck out to see if I get into the pinch weld. Rather do irreversible stuff to the truck if I TRULY need to lol

 

Yes they are dobinsons

 

CMC is pretty irreversible, haha. I would do the Pinch weld also, if you did the CMC. I would think you'd rub that (or the plastic that covers it) before hitting the cab mount. That was the case for me. I hammered the pinch weld, since I was rubbing that, and then the CMC later, since I was rubbing that also once the pinch weld was out of the way.

 

I hate them as well. When I sold Toyota's a lifetime ago I would offer to remove them when I delivered a vehicle. My current Tacoma did not come with one on it strangely enough.

 

New boots on the Tactical Tacoma. Cooper ST Maxx, 285-75-R16 (33's)

 

Now I understand the bag.

 

Oh yea, I had a similar spec wheel to what Im currently running mounted on to test fit. It didn't hit the pinch weld but was getting into the cab, which was cut back. I trimmed all the plastics that were being in contact with the tire just to clear daily driving for now.

 

Is that paint or a wrap?

 

That's IR reflective, Mil-Spec. paint. DIY with a friend of mine.
