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

You're right. With a Tacoma, it's always a pleasure to drive

 

One of the many benefits of working at a detail shop is getting to use the facility for free!

One of my coworkers has been offering to give my truck a buffing, and today stayed after clocking out to detail his Sierra 2500HD. Next, he brought my truck in and went to town on a few scratches. I slipped him a $20 for his trouble...

 

You need OEM trd sport shocks? I've got fronts (no coils) and rears. Where are you located?

 

Yes i do. I have a 14 prerunner and i would just like to upgrade to bilstein shocks. Im in Orange County. What about you?

 

Kansas City, MO. Yours for the cost of shipping. Not sure how much of an upgrade they'll be.

 

Just put a set on my truck. Great quality and allowed me to get more caster which helps drivability at highway speeds. If you have questions just call them. More than likely Marlin will answer the phone himself and answer any questions or concerns you might have.

 

Thanks brother

 

You bet. FYI, you should’t need new UCAs until you are around 3” if lift.

 

I will send you a PM regarding the Bilsteins.

 

Has anyone purchased replacement black door handles? My 05' handles look horrible! I have seen some on Amazon and Rock auto.
Any input welcome!

 

Did you do fronts as well? If so how do they look?

 

Got gas today. Calculated mileage. 15 mpg on winter gas with the 285s. Not great. Not awful I guess. This was a mix of highway driving/city driving/4wd forest road driving plus warming the truck up in the mornings before work.

Curious to see what the mileage turns into once it warms up out. Hopefully I can get it up to 17ish mpg.

 

Apparently the seat spacers fit more than I thought. 1990 I bought to carry my 87 year old mom in and I thought WTH why not, and it worked and felt better. Anyway just thought I would share that with ya.

 

Running 285 KO's can't even hit 14 mpg.

 

V6 6 speed. I’m on E range Duratrac. And I drive like an old man.

 

towed a trailer riding on my rear air bumps for about 18 miles.... got kinda sketchy over 40 mph. took bumps in the rear like a champ though.

 

Put the finishing touches on the camp panel this thing came out legit!

Installed the blue sea plugs in the bedside cubby with a fuse block for added circuit protection


I did some tidying up with the excess of wire I have running to the battery I still need to bus the two terminals together to use both studs

And got some goodies in prepping for the bumper

 

dusting

 

On 235/85/16 KO’s I get 13-14 city mileage lol
