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

On my to do list

 

I love that black ring! Looks great

 

Did you start with the full Firestone kit then just add the cradles? Or did you have to fabricate your mounts? This is exactly what I have been thinking of doing for a while, just haven't found much info on it

 

I also did the climate control knobs. And the LED license plate lights. I previously replaced the chrome badges, TACOMA x3 & TOYOTA, with black. However, I couldn't locate the "Prerunner, V6, and SR5 in black. So I did the black vinyl inserts.

 

What bulbs are you using for the license lamps?

 

Woke up early this morning (I wake up early every morning) to get my stuff together so I can build some harnesses for my navigation/radio/camera.

I have a squeaky throw out bearing so I’m planning on pulling the trans in the next month or 2. Living in Canada though this means my exhaust and the slave cylinder are on the extremely crusty side.

So today I decided to tackle 1 of the 2 problem spots to make my life a little easier when it comes time to do the clutch.

I replaced both of the manifold stays going from the trans to exhaust post cat. I also replaced the exhaust flange gaskets and everything got new oem hardware. The torches got big time use today.

Passenger side stay was about to break off on the exhaust side.

And she got a oil change with liqui molly spec tec oil and oem filter.

 

Thanks, no issues at all other than just my routine maintenance. Yeah it has the 4.0

 

Thanks fellas! I always wanted to win that award. Yep she's gorgeous for sure

With camper. But my opinion is bias

 

Do you need any bump stop with air bags?

 

You don’t, just think of them as adjustable bump stops

 

They ride like anything else, just run them at the right pressures

 

Right now I am stock in the rear but I'm ordering up some Firestone air bags. I also have a weight distribution hitch that I put on it and that helped level the load out alot. I'll post a pic of what it looked like when I picked it up the other night with no hitch and completely stock rear.

It's got some serious sag. It doesnt help that I'm 1.5 higher in the front than stock already.

I also added a Redarc tow pro elite.

 

I believe are these,
