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

Skip the gasket and go FIPG or RTV.

 

Mountain Hatch tailgate deck panel replacement

 

This is my 2nd plug change. No issues either time. Plugs came right out and looked good.

I use these:

 

Where did you get your tires. Ive been trying to find those with the white letters outlined and have been having troubles. What tires are they exactly?

 

Overland expo Friday, then wheeled and camped all weekend near Jerome/Prescott/Sedona.

 

Gets rid of the clunk sound in passenger front side when going over bumps when your pads have worn down a bit.

 

Then my buddy in his big Jeep and I hit Terminator. Banged my truck up real good but my @SOS CONCEPTS sliders and skids protected the most important areas & allowed me to do a trail I didn’t have much business to be on. There are no bypasses there. You have to commit & finish.

 

Had the same problem. Probably way easier to take the arms off and find a shop with a hydraulic press lol

 

those wheels and tires look good!

 

Michelin LTX AT2 265/70/16 (stock size on a Baja)

I had to order them online for delivery to a nearbye Costco. Went to the tire center, they told me flat out "nope, can't get them, that size is not available" I had pulled it up online, so I did again. Paid in full and gave the delivery address. Ordered online on a Sat night at home, they called 8 am on Thursday morning to schedule the install. Sticky as hell. We've had lots of rain, and the same 90 degree curves that the AT20's washed out on a week ago were like rails. And quiet. As much as I'd like a meaner looking tire, I do a lot of highway miles. This is an acceptable compromise.

 

Whats it for/do?

That T4R SAS though

 

Gets rid of the corrugated tailgate deck for a more usable surface. It's thicker, too, so it adds a bit more rigidity. More practical work surface for using the tailgate as a table. Easier to wipe clean as well.

 

Got it. Thanks!

 

Nice looking truck!!

I like your title block that says Fly Over Country. I hear you brother, and they can just keep flying over as far as I am concerned!! hahahaha

 

My @SOS CONCEPTS sliders angle up at 15* and out far enough from the truck to keep all the scary rocks away. He has typically the shortest lead times & best prices I’ve seen. You can always find 10% off coupons on Instagram or elsewhere and he does 15% and 20% off sales a few times a year. He’s also very active on the forums here. Lots of good options out there

 

Kool.

 

Got my alignment done. One of the passenger side lca bolts was frozen so they only got the caster on that side to 3.1 degrees. It seems to drive ok, so I'll just keep an eye on it and may just put it on the to do list for this fall. Overall very happy with how it rides now. Stiff like a lifted truck, but very controlled, especially since the shocks don't have 80,000 miles on them now. Also gave it a quick bath to depollinate it.

 

Got a used topper. Great deal!

 

Just got a call back from the Vendor where I purchased the 5100's and was informed that the shock is fine and the layer of black fluid & grime is caused by "normal fluid seepage" as the piston compresses. What the $&#! are they talking about?? All the other ones look like new and my OEM yellow Bilsteins never did that.

So no refund...I call bullshit.

I'm tempted to rip out the fronts now and replace with OME....just out of spite.
