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

Colorado Springs for ya

 

Ha been there done that. ‘86-‘88 Ft Carson

 

The black one looks better! I like it.

No LoL

 

actually i'm pretty sure he does

 

Where did you purchase those switches ?

 

Cut some firewood for next year

 

Put the plow in the back to take it to storage or sell it since there's no damn snow in VA anymore.

 

Did you pick this up used? Didn't think they were still selling these.

 

I got it new. They did a run early January not sure if they are still taking orders on them or have any available laying around.

It's the only thing from a third gen I like!

 

I found some wood down the street from where the power company had trimmed/cut trees away from the power lines and they left some of the big stuff, so I helped myself to it lol. Although, I'm in Florida and will be using it for just casual late night fire pit fires w/ adult beverages and not to keep warm lol.

 

Do you have a write up of link for this?

 

After work today taking my truck in to have the alignment re-assessed. I had a local shop install my front struts about a couple weeks ago. The truck pulled to the left slightly but my front tires were having some issues. I had all four tires replaced on Wednesday and its still pulling a little to the left so heading back in. Shop was great at getting me in quickly to diagnose the problem.

Beeline Brakes and Alignment in Pacific Beach, San Diego... solid customer service.

 

Yep Beeline,they are good,the hardest part is getting in and out of the driveway Lol.

 

That and I don't understand how they maneuver all the vehicles they have behind the shop. Three vehicles deep and like only a minimal amount of space to make any moves between them and the shop itself.

 

Same here, bout to leave and can’t wait

 

Fixed the wiring for my ARB compressor and installed a TechDeck.

 

So I finally installed these bad boys!
2020 TRD Sport Hitachi coil-overs and shocks.
Initial impressions, I could NOT be more pleased with the results. My Original 2013 Toyota Bilstein TRD Sport coil-overs were still tight and had plenty of life. I do not off road for shits and gigs, not a flame to those that do, I just prefer hiking and taking a stroll in the wilderness to driving in it. As far as my Tacoma is concerned, what I do love to do in it, is to drive the frek out of it. I like driving fast (safely), cornering (in control), and feeling one with the road. These hitachis are fantastic, for my purposes... The truck feels more grounded, less play, I feel more confident taking on-ramp corners and gunning it (within reason...). For anyone like me considering the swap to third gen coil-overs and shocks, I highly recommend it. Oh, and the lift!
I gained an inch up front and a little less than a 1/4’ in the rear. I love the look, it’s just right, for me. Definitely looks more level. I know that I said that I wasn’t going with a 1/4’ spacer on the driver side in my original post.
So glad I did. The front driver and passenger side both gained an inch and are dead even!
Before

After


I know the after picture doesn’t do much justice, but it’s obvious to me whenever I look in person. Especially the driver side front. It’s not all compressed and pathetic looking. Cheers!

 

huh.... had no idea hitachi made shocks

 

Ill be there twice in August for training. No Taco but still looking forward to seeing the area.
