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

Had the alignment done at work today. It's better but the steering wheel isn't straight.
Picked up some screws from Toyota for the mud flaps, removed my mud flaps and tossed the screws. Little did I know that I needed them to install the Bushwacker flares.

 

What diameter and length, did you go with. Do you have a specific water capacity you worked toward?

 

With my truck having a salvage title I’ll probably end up keeping it and buying a new truck. Parents are helping me get a new car as a graduation present if I can put 10k down

 

Night and day difference. Drives like stock again. Tires are perfect so far!!!

 

Sway bar removal is an easy “fix.”

 

Heck, I could’ve done that while you were workin’ and saved you the time! Just leave keys on the front left wheel.

 

I'd say you hold it right there. You're barely 18, and about to spend $10,000 on a vehicle. Use that money to the help you through college or something. Just my $.02

I wouldn't want to get a new car at my age.

 

Ni

Nice cherry red nipples!

 

Channel locks work really well too if you have the big ones. Harbor Freight/Northern Tool have them for less then $20 in the appropriate size.

 

Finally said screw it and replace my antenna base that’s been banging around in the fender since I bought the truck

Had to drill the top nut off, but I managed to do it with out actually removing the flare or the wheel well liner

 

Salvage title is a different story. I don't know of any dealerships aside from a mom and pops one that will sell a salvaged vehicle. Even taken on trade, they will sell on auction. When I worked for an insurance company, salvage vehicle values get slashed in half. Some insurance companies won't even insure salvage. So it is best to just keep it and get another car instead.

 

You got there first! Damn you!

 

Okay, that’s the baddest rig! Love it!

 

EJECT, EJECT, EJECT!!

 

I’ve had 2 3rd gens. I’m happier with my 2nd gen. Too many issues with the 3rd gens.

 

Don’t go near the Plasti Dip!!

 

Pace yourself.

 

Only thing I dipped was my chrome grille and even that I used metallizer and clear coat on top of the dip. I’m not derpin

 

My “post lift slight noise” was sway bar minor contact with coil over on driver’s side. Removed sway bar.

 

Should’ve bought a winch and used that!
