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

Scored a set of bolt on sliders from Craigslist. I bought them at night and didn't notice how scratched up they were so I had them powdercoated.

 

Well I’ve been chasing a clunk/pop/rattle for about 3 months now. I realized the other day that I could physically lift the whole front of my truck from where my radiator support bushings were about an inch to inch and a quarter. So I thought that had to be where the noise is coming from. I did also add some clips to my break pads which stopped a lot of my noise I was hearing but still had this dead thump/clunk. Just took it for a pretty ruff test ride and all seems well. Also the clearance between my bumper and the headlights/ grill area is a shit ton more even. Before it looked like from the center of my grill it started going uphill to the very inside of my fender flares.

 

Where did you get the clips for the brake pads?

 

You can see here how much more even it is all the way across. And yeah it’s a bud light break time here

 

O’rileys has them where I’m from in stock. There is a spot on the top of the break pads to add a second set of clips. Break pad retaining clip or anti rattle clips are what they have them listed as

Here is a video of how bad my bushings were

 

Mine are the absolute worst, I’ve tried everything. Guess I gotta get Dakars, U bolt flip kit, shock relocation and 12” kings

 

Think I paid like 48ish for 2 sets of the door decals (needed one for the back so I have 1 extra) and the door sill protector decals

 

Like the white letters out, nice

 

Is it form fitting?
Got a link?

 

Nice. The way the sun was shining on it I thought it was the before pic.

 

Bought a block kit on sale and lowered the back end a about 2-3 inches:

 

Blocks were only 2 for $3 at Lowe's. I bought 42:


It's a temporary mod, anyway.

 

I wouldn’t purchase this brand again. There was no molding to it as advertised, making the install pretty tuff. However the the vinyl quality is really nice. I have never attempted a project like this before but a little molding would’ve gone a long way. Regardless, I’m happy with the finished product.

 

Thx for your honesty

 

Changed rear differential oil and threw some ACF50 at the leaf springs. Had my helper

 

Nice T! Let's hope your insurance company only thinks it has 1hp

 

That Triump is sexy as f*ck Short bed problems

 

With the help of these forums was able to replace the stock springs with HD Dakars and Bilsteins all around. Went with 885 springs and SPC UCAs.

 

Get yourself a Thermacell and throw those candles and spray cans in the trash, Your helper will thank you for it.
