Let's see those 2nd gen Regular cabs.

Yeah, there is a vibe that comes on over 65mph if there is no load. Pretty sure it's from the slip yoke on the drive shaft. One if these days I'll put in dual transfer cases. When I do I'll have to get the driveshafts modified and get it taken care of then. I've heard of some people having success flipping the drive shaft as well as putting in angled shims to tilt the rear axle up. I put in 3° shims and couldn't tell a difference fwiw.

 

I fixed the grinding completely with a cv style aka double cardon drive shaft from tom woods. Ecgs recommended it and I had read other users had success. Easy peasy... no how bout them soft top pics?

 

@ImpulseDan Here's a few more recent ones. Was gonna go to Moab this weekend, but I guess that's out...

 

Yooo you're the guy I found on reddit I was gonna ask him (you) on there but it had been so long. Sweet truck my dude

 

Hey, thanks man! Your's is looking mighty fine as well! She's a work in progress... Damn shame the only few things left I want to do cost a fortune!

 

Whats the expensive plan? I want to do some sound proofing and maybe lower her to 3" as she's my DD

 

First is the dual cases, then a URD charger, then SAS. It's not my daily anymore though.

 

My old baby

Couple weeks after I traded, went to visit her on the lot. Now I get to see it every so often round town, breaks my heart every time. Had so many wishes for it.
One day I’ll own a regular cab again.

 

Yeah the urd sounds nice. I saw one post about it shitting the bed and bad customer service and bailed on that.. being a novice with tuning etc

 

Hmmm I haven't heard anything bad, but who knows. I'm a ways off from that purchase anyway.

 

Anybody here successfully did a bench to bucket seat swap, or know of sites online that sell buckets to fit our trucks? I’ve looked over most of the threads on here, but it seems like nobody has been in them for a while. Looking to get some buckets installed in my 09 reg cab and sadly there are no junkyards where I live to even look for donors.

 

I just did this swap 2 weeks ago. I bought my seats from http://alstruckparts.com/ in Everett, WA. Maybe they can ship for you?

Edit: @KanakaRebel

 

Search the web for information on the Rotrex supercharger and you'll find out it doesn't last long and it's not rebuildable. They need to find a different head unit for that kit.

 

I know we got different years, but were your donor seats from a same year or different than you? I’m wanting to pull the trigger on buckets but I just can’t find 100% proof that if I buy bucket seats from a 09 AC or DC that it’ll be a direct bolt besides the seat belts and whatnot. I’m going to be spending anywhere from $300-800 just on shipping alone, so I just want to make sure it’s worth the money and hassle. I’ve also heard of people buying the bracket from aftermarket companies and using other seats, but that’s way above what I’m wanting to spend on seats.

 

I got my seats from a 2013 DCSB Sport. My truck had the extra seat holes in the floor already like some other posts have mentioned. I don't think the year matters for the seat brackets, my understanding is any 2nd gen Tacoma bucket seat should align correctly.

 

I had a good time this weekend putting my suspension to the test in the dunes. I didn't know sand is pretty fun!

Thanks Jeff! No actually a lot of stuff was doable in 2wd which was really fun. Something I've noticed with the J66 leaf pack is that it keeps traction on the rear more consistently than my AAL setup I used to have.

 

Nice I have played around with the idea of SUA but it hasn't been necessary yet. I bet your setup is a blast to run high speed. I usually do turn off all my traction but I didn't while messing around in the sand, I totally forgot about it but I never got stuck either. 12 psi and line choice are my real traction controls, lol.

 

Just wanted to link some parts for sale off my regular cab. Hope that's alright?
