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

Perfect timing I am getting ready to throw my 6112/5160s on tomorrow and debating between 3rd and 4th notch. What size tires are you running? Do you happen to have any hub to fender measurements? Also I believe the 5160s are side specific so possibly they are switched on your rear??

 

I cleaned a set using a carpet/upholstery handheld vacuum cleaner. It took a little work, but cleaned them up great.

 

No, made sure right and left in proper position, stock tires 265 70 R16, 37in passenger and 36 1/2in driver from fender to floor

 

Front and back

 

@EatSleepTacos
When I get off work I will weld it up and paint it.

 

yessss

 

Since I went with Dakars and @ARCHIVE hammer hangers, the icon 2.0 resi’s weren’t gonna cut it. So until I can afford an @ARCHIVE shock relocation kit and some king 12” smoothies, these will have to do. 3 1/4+ more inches of travel on the rear shocks now. Gotta give him credit, I got the idea off of @EatSleepTacos truck.

 

Its called Taco Lean. Happens mostly because all the heavy stuff is on the drivers side, i.e. gas tank, some other stuff. a .25" spacer plate on the driver's side shock will usually make it sit level.

 

Are you gonna run 2.0 or 2.5 smoothies? If 2.0 you could do bamf kit as it's a bit cheaper. Also don't forget you need new brake lines!

 

Installed some @RedlineTuning hood struts.

 

Not sure, if I’m gonna do it, I’ll go all out and do 2.5’s. I’ll check them out. Extended lines are on my list to do next for things that aren’t too expensive.

 

Did this a few months back, I recommend throwing your overloads back in. There is zero difference in ride quality.

 

Noticed pics of your truck in the 6112 thread @Bigpat_ca and think it turned out great! Know you mentioned you wished you opted for bigger tires, I was curious what tires you're running on the 4th notch and any hub to fender measurements?

 

Fender to floor

 

Yeah heard of the lean, just didn't think it affected the rear, thanks for the link,

 

We shall find out

 

Took ole girl for a swim.

 

I have to cut off the front leaf clamp from the overload if I want it back on, right?
