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

Thank you craigslist!

Gonna install tomorrow

 

In and out

 

Installed a prinsu cabrack and @CaliRaisedLed dual light bar today. Also put on the maxtraxs and Plano box.

 

I went from 15.3 to a best of 16.1. That’s around town during rush hour traffic. 19.9 going from Sacramento up to Tahoe and then back down again on one tank. Heavy foot averaged 73mph on the wide open parts of the freeway. Truck had three people and luggage for 5 days.

 

Washed & waxed for the winter. First time using Chemical Guys wax. Came in a spray pump bottle, totally sold on the ease of application and finish on the paint! Took me one third the time to do the truck.

And just for fun, how it looked when I purchased it from my son. Remember, it was a Hawaii truck for 11 years before being shipped to the East coast.

 

Took him out hunting and camping.

 

Do you need to modify to fit ??

 

Swapped out my old hydraulic oil soaked carpet for a 2015. I cut the very back of the 05 carpet to cover the spots where the new carpet doesn’t cover because it’s meant for the bucket 09+ bucket seats. Had to get a fresh set of weather techs so that they would work with the never floor mat holders. Plus the previous owner was using the rear mat from a double cab that didn’t quite fit so I replaced that too. Carpet matches the 2015 seat cloths I put on a few weeks back and has never looked so good since new.

 

From what I have read they are a perfect fit. 2nd gen and 3rd gen skids are interchangeable for the most part. Oil plug and everything.

But I'll know for sure tomorrow.

 

Nice! Is this a 3rd gen plate?

 

yes sir! 1/4in Aluminum

 

Is this a kit you can buy?

 

Did an oil change and wash and wax.

 

How high u lifted

 

4inch Maxtrac spindles up front on stock OR 3rd gen shocks (roughly adds .75 inches) and ~3inch allpro standards in the rear

 

Yep looks like it fits , keep us updated I. Interested I just installed the 2nd gen Ted skid might need to step up to a 3rd gen

 

Awesome! Make sure you paint the drums ASAP. They WILL rust quick

 

Any closer pics of the retros?

 

I just added these too! For a short driver with a lifted truck, this was an amazing addition.

 

Hope everyone is enjoying a nice day off for Columbus Day. For those of you who don't know, Columbus Day is when we celebrate Christopher Columbus discovering a land that was already populated with people ... 500 years after the Vikings discovered the same land.
