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

Oh yeah, that little bastard landed on my shoulder just prior to that pic. I reached around and it was a handful, kind of freaked me out for a sec.

 

Did Toytec AAL this morning. Big dummy—I forgot to enter discount code when I ordered them. I’m being told do not make ANY adjustments till suspension settles. To my surprise, there is no difference in ride quality. I was expecting it to be stiffer. IDK, maybe the Michelin tires and replacing rear shocks with 5100s? I did notice the O.E. Drivers side shock was worn. I do have axle wrap starting off fast—sometimes. I have no vibrations otherwise. Here are my numbers:

Drivers side height front before 34-1/4” After 34-1/4”. Rear height before 35-3/4” After 36-7/8”—remeasured 37”. Drive line before and in front of carrier bearing 6.6* After carrier bearing 6.1*. After AAL before carrier bearing 8.9* After carrier bearing 7.8*. If I add a carrier bearing spacer, it will take it much closer in front * to before AAL, but would increase * After carrier bearing. Which means shims would have to be installed. Gas tank full on all measurements above and have a soft tonneau cover by Access and Tacoma bed mat. I did measure passenger side height and it stayed the same after AAL, but is 1/4” higher. On rear passenger side is 1” higher than drivers side.

In the future, I will eventually install these 5100s in the front, that have been sitting in my living room, after suspension settles. Also looking at a Leer topper 180.

 

Tell me about it.

 

Idea was not mine. I stole the idea from here:

But I pieced everything together myself and I'm happy with the turn out. Other options are the black pvc pipe that you can pressurize with air but I dont have a spot to place it. I dont have a roof rack so this option worked out great for me and takes up little room.

 

Awesome! I think I need to get one of the double white rotopax water jugs and mount it on the side of my bed cage. Where did you find the water pump?

 

Might be time to look for a 6ft box and a deck I think lmao

 

Now it looks like it may rain on Sunday afternoon so hopefully I can get my car washed before it rains.
I will be doing some work on the truck on Saturday.

 

Testing a theory; I heard you get more followers on the gram so I ordered these Monday and they got delivered today:

 

Installed my cruise control parts.
Wheel is off because when I installed the new wheel, I was a tooth off so now is a good time to get it straight.

 

Yeah baby

 

Thank you for the reassurance brother! I got these BNIB locally from a fellow member. It’s rare to find legit enthusiasts on this island
