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

Bed basket gang

 

Instakked the yotashop rear diff breather mod to taillight. just need a clamp to secure it better since i jerry rigged zipties together tonjeep it secure haha

 

Thanks man , appreciate it! I like how it sits few inches lower than the top of the bed very stealthy.

 

ME to I love it. I got it because I have a rci bed rack coming and needed to store my tools I carry daily

 

Hell yeah man,Good start to a bed setup!
Did you drill holes into the bed from the box to mount it ?

 

I drilled holes in the box and the bed. Used 4 1/2 inch by 2 inch grade 5 bolts with fender washers and lock washers. Worked out great

 

Right on!

 

Thanks for all the replies on my questioning of how tight does a Fumoto have to be. Good group of people in here

 

Dude, that's funny shit right there! Glad to be of assistance!

 

No shit man i mean here you swapped yours out for something I already had, didnt know I had and have never used in how many years!

Like that bucket for bench swap...i forget who just did it in his reg cab.
I would gladly trade buckets for bench anyday. I always have dogs, I miss having a bench seat up front that console is just in our way most of the time.

 

Got my 5.29s in today from ECGS. Install took about 7.5 hours. I've done the rear a bunch but it was my first time doing the front diff. I was covered in gear oil most of the time so I didn't take any pictures. Had to weld a nut onto the front diff drain plug because it was stripped. With 37s and 5.29s I am right about 2400 rpms at 65. Not too bad and now 5th gear is actually usable. Last mod for the 37s will be a cab mount relocate, which is supposed to come in soon. After that I'll run it in Moab and this summer I'll do some tubbing.

 

Like for both locations!!

I use the low mount when in chp infested areas & pushin it with gps speed display on phone and high mount all other times.
Low mount is also out of the way when big moose of a dog is up front or he drools on it when in the high mount.
Neither one blocks the vent or any controls except agree on the fan speed when in the low mount but no big deal there.

You can twist the low mount out of the way for 4x4 switch on the magnet mounts. Had a grabber type there too and it twisted out of the way also np.

Nice work on fabbin that up blitz looks good.

 

Finally installed my RCI sliders, I went with 20°

 

Goals

 

Finally finished cleaning the wheels/tires. Ceramic coated the wheels and Optibond on the tires.

Redesigned my core support cover.



Replaced the other tie rod finally.

Unbent the shit outta the one factory skid.

Discovered the passenger side outer cv boot needs replaced. I was kinda expecting this since I did the other side in the fall.

 

In the past two weeks I added a American Thunder Flowmaster cat-back dual exhaust( welded) and a K&N 77 cold air intake, and I waxed it ..

 

I upgrade my truck horns to 2 pairs of Bosch Europa horns.

 

All three of y'alls trucks look badass. Any issues opening the covers? (Trifolds?) I am interested in this with the Kb Voodoo but have a Backflip. Need to do more research I think

 

I have a trifold and cant open it with the racks on. But I dont usually need to. I have a plywood drawer/slide that I can pull out to load/unload the front of the bed. If I NEEEEEED to open/remove the tonneau, I'll just unbolt the 4 corners and remove the whole thing as one.

 

What is the "Optibond" for the tires?
