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

Have you been greasing them?

 

I’ll hit you up in PM but I went Headstrong off-road during a special.

 

Cant grease the sealed x axis bushings.

 

Ahh gotcha. I've got a set of the "newer" LR UCAs with the zerk on top and they are extremely quiet.

 

Nice, I just ordered a set of JBA last night with the same

 

Is your truck wrapped?

 

Nah- that’s just flat black on white.

 

Kidwidataco could you post some closer pictures of the UCAs. Im getting new ones from SPC as part of their warranty. The last ones I bought a month ago are garbage. They mentioned to me that I installed them incorrectly, therefore making the popping/clunking noise. I say bull shit.

 

Will do I’ll post them tomorrow when I have some daylight. I made sure I was getting the newest version and my buddy has had his for 50k miles so I felt good about them. Was leaning towards TC but for the price, my intended use and the adjustability I felt it fit my needs.

 

Took a nice pic in the mountains with the overlanding rig

 

I had Nexen M/T’s on my last truck as winter tires and loved them, quiet for M/T’s and were good on road and off. I may get the AT’s to replace the current BFG’s.

 

Yesterday, today & tomorrow, started the fight against rust. I removed the skid plate & support arms for sand blasting. I also removed the crash bar extensions and will have them blasted at the same time. I ordered replacement window weather strips for the tops of the window openings on the doors. MAACO really buggered them up when the truck was painted. I think they call them 'bead moldings', for those wanting to order. ( I think if you say thingies for the window openings, they will find the right part ) Will have the parts ready for pick up tomorrow. Supposed to have good weather on Saturday, good day to paint everything!

Does anyone know what these threaded nuts are for? Keep in mind I have a pre-runner.

 

Thoae wheels are also super nice looking. Good set up man!

 

Skid plate im pretty sure, the top two bolts

 

Installed bed lights and under hood lights from @mattgecko Awesome!

Also installed CBI ditch light brackets and ditch lights. Installed switches in cab for all lights and installed a second switch in the bed for bed lights.

Pics over on my build thread...https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/austinguys-build-and-interests.609930/page-55#post-21699726

 

That is one way to cool your amp

 

Heyyy, accesscab gang! Sweet rig. Those color wheels really pop!

 

Doh! ( of course )

 

Much better!

 

The threaded nuts you’re pointing to and the other 2 at the bottom are for the “skid plates”

Btw how much did that cost you? I was planning to refinish mine but one of my skid plate bolts rusted in and broke off. Tried extracting it today and that broke into it as well
*Edit: Re-read your post and your packages contain something else lol
