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

Very nice. How’d you chrome delete the handles?

 

Just 30k more until it’s broken in.

 

Handles were already black to begin with but faded so I went over them since I had extra plastidip. Just did it as I would anything else, taped off a section and peeled off the excess.

 

Picked up a set of oem LCAs($20) and whiteline bushings($140) for a suspension refresh. Still researching for a good LBJ.

 

Me too. Quite the disparity.

 

ProForged makes a nice one.

 

sounds like needle bearing. do a search on here for needle bearing and ecgs bushing. lots of info to read about.

 

For sure, it's a nice solid sound now.

 

They look exactly like the ones I bought. I put some sealant around the edges of mine but still get a little condensation once in a while. Still love em.

 

Not sure what a LBJ is but wouldn't be surprised if many of us are looking for one also...

 

I see what you did there.

 

It looks like you live in a state that gets a lot more moisture than CA so hopefully I will be fine how did you seal yours??

 

It was a black marine silicone, I can't think of the name at the moment. They've been ok for a while now so maybe it fixed itself.

 

Are you using them yourself? I’ll look into those. Thanks!

 

So I opened up my garage door opener and jumped the two contact points that I figured would open the garage door. Garage door opened! So now I just need to order the switch and solder some spare wires to the opener.

This site spends all my money. Thankfully, this is a cheap one.

 

I am. I don't have too many miles on them yet, but they fit really tight into the control arms and they're greasable. If you're installing them yourself, I recommend putting the ball joint in the freezer for a couple of days and heating the LCA before you try and press them in. I used a 12-ton hydraulic press to do mine with the cold/heat, and they went in pretty smooth, but the manual screw-type ball joint press you can rent from an auto parts store won't budge them.

 

That was the initial plan i had in mind and glad to know it works. Sweet!

 

Its all about camera angle! LoL

Spruce mica is such a perfect color on the tacos!!

I can read your license plate in the first pic.
