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

There was recently a recall on some of their jack stands

 

Wash your truck the night before, then the next morning use IronX or another iron remover, then wash it again. Removes 90% of the junk, then clay barring is easy. Just time consuming. Make sure you wax after.

 

Dumb question, are those taillights spyder black/smoked?

 

HF has a recall out for 3 model numbers of their jack stands that are at risk of failing.

 

Does anybody know what kind of lug nuts method nv wheels use? I need to add some locking lug nuts for piece of mind.

 

Yeah, still weighing my options and doing research. More important mods ahead of this one.

 

I like it because of the adjustability and fine tuning. You can get it perfectly precise.

 

Smoked my tires today, getting new 35” yoko’s thrown on tomorrow!

 

You let me know once there is a Ginny Pig that does it with an 2nd gen automatic and confirms which wires to cut, etc.. then I'm in.

 

For those who can’t go this route or want more flexibility you can do the Hypertech Speedo Calibrator. I installed one. Easy install and totally customizable. I even left the USB cable attached and ran it down the left side drawer.

That's one of my options I'm researching.

 

Check out my build page about halfway through my 3rd posthttps://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/austinguys-build-and-interests.609930/#post-20633663 I have a couple pictures of install and where I stashed the usb cable. Couldn’t have been easier. And it’s 100% reversible. Only negative is $$

 

You checked it against GPS post install? How close do you think your speedometer and odometer are now?

Thanks I'll take a look and yes only downside I seen so far is cost. I have no problem cutting up shit on my truck, but the plug and play aspect is nice.

 

Yeah I’ve checked it and I’m within 1-2 mph. If I remember correctly it was pretty spot on at first but as you get mileage on the tires it changes the math slightly. If I wanted to do the calculations I could get it perfect but I’m more than happy where I’m at.

 

That's actually a 3rd gen and not mine but looking at the picture you're definitely right. Looks a lil droopy lol.

This one is mine

and I bought another boat tonight, lmao. The boat has a blown engine and I bought the replacement engine this morning.

 

Lame

 

Yeah sorry, I was a little excited hahahaha!

 

Real 35s


Next to the old 285s

 

New tails

 

Good user experience with it? I've been eyeing it lately but I have so many bottles of wax I need to get through first before I buy another.
