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

My experience was that the drivers side was straightforward and almost easy. The passenger side was a bit of a pain. Clips to remove and I had to bend the metal out quite a bit. Just get a big pair of channel lock pliers and you’re good to go. Really not hard over all.

You’re going to love these UCAs. I wish I would have done mine sooner. And they look really nice to boot.

 

Welcome ! Nice truck. I had the same grille on my 2008.

 

Replaced the front wheel bearing / driver side.

I have a question : the UCA continually rubs on the coil spring.
Any advice about narrower coils ?

 

UCA hittng the coil Brian not a tire

 

Welcome to TW! Like those wheels

 

Spray that frame with fluid film...prevents rust and seizing bolts, etc

 

What's the link to actual part? I could use these...thanks

 

I need coffee.

 

Oh I can understand that. I got confused last night looking at a strut on another thread they said was adjustable but I couldn't see any adjustment to it untl they pointed it out. Fox shock the lower tube is threaded hellI couldn't see the threads until I expanded the screen. Looked like a dumbass but i should be used to that by now

 

Here is how I mounted it. It’s a cheaper light bar off of Amazon I think but it is great have had no problems with it in the year and a half I’ve had it. Go for making the mounts!

 

Thanks! Well... the first picture is the original paint I do believe. My girlfriend’s brother and her mom have both backed into my truck costing $9000 worth of damage so the whole front end has been painted twice since I bought it. When it got hit the second time I made a deal with the repair shop to allow me to swap and paint a new grille and they also said that if I bought a hood with the hood scoop they would also paint it for no additional cost to me other than purchasing a hood.

 

Read a couple of stories of guys living in the rust-belt with seized bed bolts. I live a little further southeast of the rust-belt, but close enough to warrant paying attention to things.

I have no plans to ever remove or adjust my bed. But I plan to keep this rig until circumstances dictate over wise. So you never know.

Pulled all 6 bolts...2 at a time as to not get any shift in the bed as I worked. Mine all looked good. Rig is 4 years old. Lathered them up in anti-seize, stuck 'em back in.

A lot of rain here lately. The middle and front holes were full of water. Just FYI.

 

Was going to install my stoptech rotors and pads today from AutoAnything but once I got to opening all the boxes and pulling out the parts I realized both rotors had R stickers on them and the slots were in the same directions. (Two passenger side rotors) Time to call AutoAnything and get one of them swapped out for a left rotor.

Blocked off the whole afternoon to do this too.

Ugh that sucks man! Especially you had the time blocked and you were probably looking forward to testing it out too. Oh well another time.

 

Tire rotation!

Made this today, I'm going to sell them, 12 dollars without the grip. They come low, medium and high, the one in the pic is low. Medium is an inch higher, high is 2 inches higher than the low one. Also they come in a short grip (shown in the pic) or standard grip size
