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

Bought another softopper and prepped the rear for a HC

 

Changed engine oil and filter. Mobil 1 Full Syn. Installed a Fumoto drain valve.

 

You can run it bumperless??? I’ve been wanting to prepare it for HC but I thought pigs would pick on me lmao

 

Actually I'm not too sure on if it's allowed or not, I'm only driving like this for a couple days.

 

Yes.

Amount of lift is double spacer height.

 

Best I can do for you...

 

Hell yeah thank you very much

I did some blue beaming, this is what I got

 

Sturgill!

 

Those dimensions look a little different than mine. Your drawing is a LOT more professional looking than mine though lol. I took the dimensions off of a very cheap Chinese made spacer with a micrometer, a spacer that was well over 5" in outside diameter, and I had to grind the outside diameter because of it.

 

Link for grill

 

Installed these Total Chaos bed stiffeners last night.



also got a p nasty blood blister doing so

 

notice an immediate difference with these? I just threw a camper on, and am looking into these.

 

they pulled my bedsides in just a little bit, there wasn't too much flex as the truck only has about 70k and i bought it 8k miles ago, but i did it as a preventative mod since i already have a 100lb bed rack on there and will soon be installing a 200lb RTT. so i figure why not beef it up now? some suspension upgrades are on the way next

 

Awesome, glad to know were able to see it pull in. That settles it for me.

 

I have the chance to get brand new OEM cast aluminum running boards for $300 but they're off a 2016. I believe these will still fit a 2015, correct?

 

@moops did that cover go over the existing or did you strip the wheel first?

 

I don't have a camper, but I do have racks and carry large kayaks often off-roading (so lots of side to side action). I had taken my stiffeners off recently to refinish them as some rust was showing. When I reinstalled them, I forgot to tighten a couple bolts on one side. Couple months later, I noticed a slight gap starting to form between my tailgate edge and rear side panel. Checked my bolts, tightened things back up and all was straight. Anyway, point being, without the stiffeners I'm sure my bed sides would be out of whack and tweaked out. It's peace of mind for me and extra tie down points. I'm glad I have them.

 

Where to get this uni-filter. Shoot me a link

 

Yup. Just make sure the cab/bed configurations are the same
