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

I probably could have just stayed further to passenger on the trail instead of strattling the ditch this way. I placed those rocks there so I could get back down. Was afraid of rolling or hitting doors driver side. You learn everytime you wheel.

 

-40 in the Yukon brings a lot of ice fog, so I finally wired the Squadrons up

 

Installed an attic in the camper shell and tested out my waterproofing abilities after installing the Prinsu and tracks.

 

Damn now I might have to paint my bed stiffeners orange.

 

Try and get some adjustable UCA's like SPC and have the alignment shop move you tires as forward as possible with good alignment. That way it will minimize the amount of cab rub. The front of the wheel opening can be clearanced easier then the rear portion.


Looks GREAT!

 

Treat Yo Self!

 

how many things have you painted orange on your truck now???

 

Lol just a few actually. The wrap doesn't count.

 

I had aligned with 3.2* of caster and it “cleared” for driving it around town. But that setup, and truck is now long gone! Lol!

 

LOL you have more than a few things that you have added orange flair too...
grab handles, TRD grill logo, BAMF LCA skids, OEM tow hook, etc....

 

Ha ha you are bringing back some good memories.

 

Fabbed up a license plate bracket using Acekrauts design and installed a 20” heretic light bar I had got from @raycie. Used some angle bar for the bracket.

 

New Yoko Geolander A/T in stock size. Between that and the 30k service last weekend I'm ready for a snow weekend in the mountains starting today. Hopefully the rain converts to snow as some forecasts predict.

 

its a Metra, been outa the package for awhile on the bench with all the other parts(except the damn adapter for the sirus ant)...it was matte black as I remember , which matches all the trim I have painted,....

 

On rotors.. would you try to resurface or just buy new ones? leaning towards the latter..

 

Yellow looks good too

 

Mud mod today

 

Refacing a rotor is like $15, and replacing a rotor is $60ish

 

Buy new OEM.

I had O'Reillys turn/resurface my OEM ones at 115k just because I figured it was time. They looked good, but only lasted about 3k miles after that. So then I went with Duralast/AutoZone rotors and got about 33k out of those before replacing them last weekend under warranty.

So I guess to modify my answer. If you want ones that last and don't care about the warranty, go OEM. If you don't mind replacing them every 2 years, get one of the box store brands with a warranty.

 

^^^This. I basically wasted the $30 that it cost to have them cut. I tried to get a refund from OReilly's but they told me to get bent. That's why I bought the rotors from AutoZone.
