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

I have the same problem. I even asked about it before I bought it and was assured that "nothing rubs". How much did you have to cut?

 

Thanks, just wanted feedback on what you felt.

I've got aftermarket coils with 650 springs. I've ridden around town without the bar to see if I felt anything. Maybe the roads here are that good and I drive it like a truck, but I didn't notice much. I was under the impression it was going to be a drastic change.

It does help off road but I usually am loaded out with camping gear and a dirt bike on the hitch, so I take it mellow.

 

What was the temp like when you tried to install? Did you let the fabric sit in the sun for a bit?

I've had a bestop for about 7 years now, so it's loosened quite a bit. I still do not try to zip it up if it's below 40 out. The material contracts a lot when it's cold, especially before its broken in.

 

Little to no change with the LED's I put in there. I took both pictures in the morning, one was yesterday and the other this morning (I have to be at work at 6, that's why it's so early). The first picture is with stock bulbs.

 

Looks brighter to me. I find the LEDs to improve the view when actually looking backwards and not using the reverse cam anyways.

 

Finally got these installed by @Bot_Chu along with some SPC UCA’s

 

On the day to day, there is no discernible difference. Only time I notice is when I dramatically turn into my apt complex.

 

Thas some harry poopper shit

 

Not too much. I lopped off the corners with a grinder with a thin blade. Then test fit and trimmed some more if needed. Then I touched up the exposed bare metal.

 

Yessir, I’m a little worried as well because I’ve also read the same and they definitely are not as robust as stock. Some good, some bad, but I could never find anything super definitive so I decided what the heck, I’ll be a guinea pig.

Yep, full caster and I told the shop to give me a bunch for fear of rubbing, I think their alignment guy did an amazing job. It drives great currently but there’s always hammering to be done

 

I clipped a dog (saw it scurry off) going down a hill in TN with a 5k boat in tow. Didn't even think about swerving. Sucks but it was the only choice!

 

Installed my AllPro Off road front skid plate on my '14.....yes steel

fits like a glove.....floor jack makes it quick & easy...uses four OEM bolts....

they supply the rear smaller two....bought it from Summit Racing...

Fast drop shipped from CA.....$20 off promo & free shipping ! what a deal !

 

Thanks for that imfo. Rainy and cool here probably only around 55 F but warmer tomorrow. I watched a video where a guy was having problems so he put a heater inside and blankets on the roof to warm it up. I will probably give that a try

 

@Roofy

that's kinda what I thought I was understanding from but figured who better to ask then the tacomaworld community!

 

Been debating on the debadge or blacked out. Decided to just go with some decals and sit on the idea a bit more.

 

@ovrlndkull we have a breakthrough! Definetly larger than 10mil, going in for inspection/replacement next oil change.

 

That's a failure!!!! Hope your time frame hasn't run out!!!! Hope the dealer takes care of you remember if they don't contact Cox and let them know what the deal is they've been nothing but excellent for me.

 

Got till august 2020. And I called Cox a few months back. Wasnt impressed. The lady seemed very confused at first, then assured me the truck was out of warranty already. I called Toyota coorporate and they assured me Aug of 2020, and gave me a claim number to give to the dealer should they pull any shenanigans. Rice Toyota has a pile of new/old frames out back. Guess we'll go there, never had a bad experience there.
