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

Nothing technically but I did order a new black (paint ready)bumper skin to replace my dented chrome one and 3 cans of silver mica duplicolor and 2 cans of clear.
Hopefully I'll have that painted and installed by the time my new color matched Raptor grill gets here and amber led DRL turn signals.
If everything goes as planned, my custom light grey/dark grey/blue stitching Clazzios should get here at the same time and I'll have a busy next weekend.

 

What is that?

 

That’s the uni filter mod to the secondary air pump. You install the mini (1”) K&N style filter and remove the potentially destructive soft foam screen from inside the housing to preclude it disintegrating and entering your throttle housing a few years down the road. An inexpensive mod anyone can do. Watch this from Boogie:

I'm in the same boat, before 4x4 conversion and front bumper I was over 3" on the 885s with 5100s. Looking to get some height back, rides great though, I too threw away sway bar. Are you running 886s with the 5100s?

 

Yes, that’s my setup!

 

Ok gonna do this but I'd like a blue one.
Does this seem to be the same/interchangeable with what you used?

Any issues with putting these coils on these struts? I know its frowned upon? Did you get full 3 inches back with some weight up front? Does it ride like the 885s?

 

Pardon my language, but it’s a piece of shit that should have never been installed by Toyota.

 

You should try printing a mirror riser bracket, I’d be interested in one!

 

Another reason why I love my 05. I see the tundras all the time with codes for the air pumps and it costs the customer 1k everytime. That's an expensive check engine light my friends.

 

Got an unbelievably good deal I couldn’t pass up on a set of used Black Rhino Stadium wheels (2 months old) and a set of KO2’s with like 20 miles on them. I’m happy

 

That looks to be very similar and matches the 1” diameter of the intake tube. I believe that’ll work if you want blue instead of red.

 

This mod may not apply to you. According to a follow up clip from Tacomaholic, as far as the 4.0 2nd gens go, the secondary air pump is only applicable to 12-15 models.

Here’s a photo. Got just over 3”. I know “they” frown upon 5100/OME886 coil combo. It’s been no issue so far. I don’t jump my truck or try to take the hardest line. Rides great.

 

Good catch. Didn’t even look at the year.

 

Thanks buddy!

 

I lost an inch. As most of us know, an inch means alot

 

Things are happening....

 

Great start!
