Let's see those 2nd gen Regular cabs.

Hi to all! I am currently the proud owner of my third Tacoma, and I finally got back into a reg cab a couple days ago and immediatley traded in my 07 d cab for an 09 reg cab 5spd 4x4. In my opinion it is the original Toyota that started it all, so I think its time to show some love and show off our regular cabs, poser pics welcome, trail pics, mods, etc. Anything regular cab.

I will post pics of my 09 later, as well as my 98 with 33s and 5 inches of lift.

 

I’m basically done with this truck. I blacked out the flange on the rocker panel, got rid of the badges and mud flaps, replaced the stock antenna with a 14” shorty, and added the tool box and TRD off-road wheels. The last thing I’ll do is have the seats re-upholstered in leather.

 

Here is mine. Helo wheels with 265-75-16 Kumho tires, N-fab light bar with Hella lights. I want to put on a small lift but I will probable wait till after the first of the year for that.

 

I want one!!!!.. 4x4, matching shell with bed-rug.. 4cyl if possible - 265/75/16 BFg All terrains, K&N Intake with tinted windows. 5 spd too. PERFECT TRUCK!!!!!!!

REG CAB LOVE!!!!

 

My 08' is by far the best reg cab I have. I use it for work, towing, hunting.......

 

How much was the light bar, That is probably going to be my first mod

 

What happened?!

 

Just got high centered on the frame and a little wheel spin later the truck looked like that. Kinda was the wrong time to get stuck as I was hunting any my rem. 30-06 was in the bed uncovered.

 

I'm liking my '09 Regular Cab a lot. Ordered a tonneau a few minutes ago, yanked the secondary air filter yesterday. Need to find a nice seat cover for the bench seat but it appears the aftermarket ignores bench seat Taco's! I'd rather have buckets, I wonder what would fit...

 

How do you like your 265/75/16's? I've been debating between that size and the traditional 267/70/16. I'd like the extra half inch lift, but not sure how I'd like the final drive gearing reduction. What are your thoughts with it?

 

Heres mine, Cleaned it today

 

Both of these are 4x2 tacomas. with somesort of spacing

 

i envy your fenders...and it's good to see a reg cab with nerf bars, i think i found a black pair-
but does anyone know if i can order/attach those black fender flares on mine?
actual toyota, and not some other maker.

 

The black ones are stock on the 4x4, the tube step is from toyota, i have no clue where you could get the flares, you may be able to by calling toyota, thats my best bet, nice truck zombot

I could possibly take a pic on how it looks from the other side and how its holded on, i love the flares and how that their black and stand out, i personally like that, the flares wrap around all the way

 

Is your truck the sr5??

 

The problem with putting the flares on a 4X2 truck is that the fenders don't have the square holes for the special retaining clips. You might be able to substitute the factory clip with a round clip from something else, but you'll still need to drill holes (about 9) in your fender. Of course, you could always glue/epoxy them on.

 

Here's mine 2008 tacoma reg cab SR5

3" lift Camburg Coilovers and UCA's in front,
Allpro Leafs and OME N182 shocks in rear

33X12.5R17 Mickey Thompson MTZ's on american Racing Teflon coated rims

Black Headlight mod and Smoked tails in the rear
Shaved tailgate and door emblems painted same color as the truck (not shown in pics.)

Tourneau Cover, Bed Mat, Cargo Divider, door sill protectors, in channel rain guarda and tinted windows.


Any of u reg cabs looking for a chrome grille and rear bumper. i'll trade in a heartbeat so my truck is completely black

When i got her



AFTER:









the seats just have some water that wasn't dry

 

I went with 265/75/16 WILD COUNTRY RADIAL XTX on OEM steel rims, painted black on 07 silver streak mica, DC, 6spd, SR5
I got 75,000km out my last set of these on a 92 4RUNNER.
As far as gearing goes, minimal difference. gas mileage about the same 20-22MPH, at 100kph the tach shows about 200 rpm more.

I'll use these for fall and winter tires, and finish the OEM Dunflops off next summer and replace them with something in a 265/75/26 mounted on the aluminum wheels.

No lifts, no rubbing, very happy with them.

 

Thanks for sharing, these are on my list. Anyone do this on their 2.7? How much torque did you 'lose'?
