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

They are ceramic pads with Zinc plated, drilled and slotted rotors. I ordered them for him from Brake Motive, a company out of Chicago. Apparently they have outsourced to China since the last time i bought from them. I was a bit disappointed when everything showed up. Seemed like the same quality, but its not my car so I cannot give an honest review.

That wheel and tire combo looks really good on the red. Nice Taco!!

Winners always find a way. LoL

I am still on the factory brakes at 74k miles. I haven't decided how big of an upgrade I am going to do, but it will be sooner than later. My rotors are already warped.

One of my favorite mods! It was one of my first mods as well. I couldn't believe how low the rear view mirror was. I am an average height guy and I was ducking under the mirror at every intersection.
I always look, regardless of if I have the right of way.

 

this from instagram? Most if not all of those are just renders.

 

It's a real truck and everything on it is functional. It's barely a tacoma anymore since there's so much aftermarket but its sick as hell

Twin Turbos!

 

Is it possible to achieve perfect alignment numbers? All checking out to 0.0 ? With everything stock except bigger tires

 

No, it's real. Ugly AF IMO.

 

Ideally you wouldn't want a alignment with everything at 0.0 because most roads are crowned and alignments compensate for that. Plus the toe at 0.0 wouldn't drive properly, the front tires need to be slightly turned in at the front of the tires
( / \ <-- like this, top is the front of the vehicle looking down at the vehicle).

 

the photo you posted of it murdered out was a render but yes the truck itself is real.

I think they couldve done a better graphic job than the polygon camo pattern they picked

 

Oh, no kidding. I missed that part hahahaha! It's early still, not that it makes a difference with me. Lol.

 

Pics? I would consider that mod...

 

Ever seen a rally car..? EVERY rally car has a functional roof scoop..

 

Thank you, that makes sense. Just wondering cause i just had an alignment done

 

I'll have to take some pics next time I'm at the dealer. I'm not sure if it runs all the way around or just the sides.
I first noticed it because a review of the 3rd gens mentioned aerodynamic mods - like vortex generators on the front/rear skirts and side mirrors.
The additions are supposed to help airflow, increase mpg and decrease noise.

The strip is mentioned here but no pics https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/rubber-flap-seal-between-the-bed-and-the-cab.455798/

I'm curious to know how far the strip goes and if it really helps.

 

This is the most brilliant thing I've seen for a sleeping platform.

Easy in, easy out.

 

How do you like the KCs? Been considering a dual-spot setup for my wife's 2019 RAV4 Hybrid..

 

Love em! The single is really bright so the dual should be more than enough. Super easy to install as well, wiring harness is all set up for quick plug and play

 

For cool air and/or cabin pressure equalization

 

Prinsu Rack is IN!! The Rhino Rack Tracks put it pretty much dead level to the cab rack.

I need to figure out if I should put my awning/recovery tracks/Plano Case on the front or the back of the truck........

On long trips after stopping by Taco Bell for bean burritos..... I would love to have a roof scoop.
