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

Sorry dude. Just saw your question.

No problems with mine at all. They even provided an extra piece/spacer that could be used to tighten it up. Didn't need it. In fact, it's in there so tight, it's hard to unlatch.

 

B, you’re such a tease! And when is that video going to post?!

 

Waiting on a good weather day.

 

Ran into some headaches in my quest to install 5100 w/ 885’s. LCA bushings were - true to form - way fucking seized up and wouldn’t allow the alignment cam bolts to budge. Had to cut the arms out and ended up replacing w/ MOOG as opposed to replacing new bushings and ball joints.

ARB was also a major PITA. Drivers side hoop had damage that I didn’t see when we received it. Only AFTER it was all mounted up and we pulled the cardboard protectors from the hoops that it became apparent.

Replacement showed up in much better condition.

Having an alignment done and I’ll report back final lift heights!

 

omgwhosagoodpuppy!?!

 

I believe MetalTech has stopped selling the magic box.

 

Havent done much, mounted this magnet gun holder deal. I didnt like it attached to the gun directly so I just smack it on with my holster and it holds fine. For a quick draw it pulls right off of the magnet and holster in one pull. Took it through some bumpy fireroads and it held together after a 60-0 hard stop. So unless I get completely blased from behind, I think it will hold. New headlights this weekend, and I get my parts to fix my headlights again saturday.

 

Interesting draw position. You must be a trick shot. Be careful on the draw, bro.

 

It is weird, for now it's just to hold it. Looking at an alien gear set up that will hold it right side up for an easier grab. Or I'll just set a seperate left hand draw holster that will leave it right side up

 

Shout out to JH Garage out of La Habra California… Phase I of 4 was just completed.

Finally installed my sub in the back,tons of work

 

I...uh....swapped on my new plates. What a mini adventure.

 

Boo! Was "4LO PRO" ... or some variant ... taken in VA?

 

It’s on it’s way in the mail. These were issued straight from the dmv and went home and ordered veteran plates with 4LOPRO on them.

 

Hey guys and gals we are getting started on our Black Friday deals.

That's quite a pile of tools just to change license plates.

 

I'm guessing one of the bolts was stuck just like it is on my truck. Going to have to drill that sucker out.

 

2/4 bolts were Allen head, and I couldn’t find my Allen keys so I cut them off. Then while putting the new plate on I snapped a stud on my bumper. Then I had to just drill a hole and use a self tapping screw. Mini adventure for sure. I’ll fix it properly later by welded a new stud on.
