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

Yeah man! lifts are expensive! I bought this set off TW for 300 with wicked low miles...and have been told that the 3rd gen TRD Sport rides even better on the road...the OR seems to be what is more desirable all round and definitely fits my application better...The two biggest pros in my mind are that you get a mild lift without the 3in lift issues that can come up like vibrations, and that you essentially get stock parts (so no taco lean as long as you install them on the right sides). comes with everything you need, drops right in, and increases ride and performance drastically....my old struts were so toast that if I compressed them they just stayed like that...I drove a 2017 loaner when they replaced my frame and this now rides just like it! on a side note...I just had the truck aligned and it drives perfectly straight now, no issues whatsoever.


sitting on 235s btw...if anyone noticed

 

Sounds like New England if your using word like “wicked”

 

Well, I gotta get back to work.

Wow, what a picture. Happy belated birthday

 

I have that same (goofy) subwoofer in the rig I bought. Not quite sure why it's in a TRD O/R package, especially when the previous owner was born in the 1920s. Doubt he listened to much boom-boom music or went off the paved/gravelled road. Of course, the same can be said about me, mostly. The only time I go off-road is when I hit a curb at speed.

 

Yeah it's the older gen one. I believe the first gen. Thought about doing some custom fab work for some pods.

 

Added that 3 gallon reserve in the bed.

 

AJT Climate Control Knobs. Very easy mod. I used a dental pick to remove metal insert. Push pick all the way into knob and the insert pulls right out!

 

Finished sound deadening the back panel and under the carpeted area beneath the seats. Used the black Noico 80mil ( https://amzn.to/2PRctEQ ) super easy to work with.

 

How do you like it so far? Noticeable difference in noise? I am considering doing this and was wondering how this stood up as an alternative to dynamat. Mainly would like to do this to eliminate some exhaust noise I am getting on the hwy

 

Definitely makes a difference and I'm still running it without throwing the back seats back in. Should be even better with the added barrier of the seats.

 

Did you go with 36 sq ft? and any estimate as to how much you think it might take to do the whole cab on a 4 door (2nd gen)?

 

Yeah I got the 36 sq feet and used about 25% to do the back wall. I would guess that the 36 sq ft would be enough to do that and all 4 doors assuming you don't waste a lot of the material.

 

Many thanks boogie!

 

Still need to do CCF and MLV

 

Lift done....flares done.

 

Possibly. But first off, what do those acronyms stand for?

 

Closed cell foam and mass loaded vinyl. They go over the noico deadening material. Noico actually makes ccf too. MLV is a little more spendy but worth it.

Details on the lift? Why the wheel spacers on the stock wheels?
