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

both your rear wheels are pointed to the right, which indicates the rear solid axle is not perpendicular to the direction of travel. This may have something to do with your pull. have you done anything on the rear suspension recently? .25 degree to the right means that the left side is about .3" further forward than the right side. i dont think there is that much play in the alignment pins

 

Wow

 

And the bars don’t shut and you can carry a drink down the street without getting arrested....


Now, you may get mugged or shot, but hey, cheap gas and good times, what else do you need....

 

Favorite color? Well......red....of course.

 

I'm old school. I really dig that Honda in the middle!

 

Thanks!

Heres one of her from this summer, after some more work:

And an older one with the taco right after I painted the tank, just to keep this post tangentially taco related:

Did it with a duplicolor etching primer, color match duplicolor paint, and a 2K two part clear coat. Nasty stuff but its held up really well.

What model kenwood is that and how do you like it?

 

I usually go to a local to me store for hardware. Abbaba Bolt. I have no clue what their online experience or over the phone experience is like. If you need me to I'll go down there and figure out what you need, if they'll sell them individually, and how much they want for them. This link should be their website.

The bolts that I painted came with a body lift. I have some of the stock bolts with a T55 head. 3 of the 6 are in great shape, 2 others have a few marks on the outer edge of the heads from a pipe wrench, the 6th bolt is trashed as I had to cut its sides with a cut off wheel in order to loosen it. I used the flat washer off of all 6 and that required slight grinding on all of the bolt shanks (threads were unaffected). I don't have an accurate way to determine metric bolt thread size.

For reference, it's the exact same size bolt and thread as a rear bumper bracket to frame bolt. It uses a 17mm socket. The OD of the bolt at the threads is 0.468 inches which comes out to 11.887mm, I'm not sure if that makes it a 10mm bolt or a 12mm bolt. From the bottom of the bolt head to the end of the threads is a little shy of 4 1/4". The unthreaded shank is 1 7/8" long. Working off of my memory (yikes) the threads would need to start at around 3 1/4" down from the bottom of the bolt head which would make about an inch of thread on an aftermarket bolt.

I've got a couple more days until I can post some things for sale on TW and these bolts are part of that goal. Just a few odd things trying to help people out instead of throwing the stuff away. Send a PM srsspicer to me if you want them, you've got 1st dibs on them.

 

I noticed a ton of play in my aftermarket eBay cheapie rear lift block's alignment holes - way too big. Idk if passwordstaco123 has rear blocks or not but...

 

I've had quite a few old Honda's. This one was my favorite of the bunch.

 

This is what I did today, actually Tacoma related.


LOL

 

Gotta support the lazy somehow.

 

Hey, Brian, what’s the plan for the clamps on the hoop? I was thinking of adding the extra BD Squadron Sports like that.

 

Mine fits pretty damned well. MOBTOWN OFFROAD

 

Forgot to post it, but a week ago Friday, 33's!

 

What size tires are those?
