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

DOM tubing which is stronger than OEM. I have had a number of guys on the trail with their tacos have a nice chunk or gouge taking out of their driveshafts on the trail. then needing to replace or get it re-balanced. Obviously, the driveshaft is our weakest link off roading and nothing is indestructible, but stronger is better.

Ah ok. I saw a 2nd gen drive by where I was that looked almost identical to yours

 

Put my awning on my cab rack

 

That’s a great looking truck. Do you have any pictures from the front? I’m curious about that size tire, but would like to see how skinny they look staring straight at them. Haha. Thanks!

 

I haven’t noticed any mileage change, Don’t think it’s enough pounds to make a difference. I also didn’t cover the entire floor 100% just the spots that didn’t already have sound pads present.

 

I have a short bed. My DS is 67 1/4” and yes, I believe the long bed is excluded from the single club.

 

I'm dropping mine off tomorrow to have my LCA's replaced. It's an 08 and this will be my 4th set of LCA's cause the ball joints keep blowing out every 2-2 1/2 years.

 

They don’t look too skinny from the front. If you had a full bumper they would probably look funny but with the stock bumper a lot of it is covered so it looks similar to stock

 

Dislike.

Also, I'm glad I didn't do this myself. I would have been too frustrated cutting those bolts off. Plus time..I ain't got any.

 

I have as slight shudder at takeoff. Pinion angle (axle) shims and hanger bearing drop haven’t resolved it. The hanger bearing is getting pretty sloppy, so this was my excuse to replace with a Tom Woods.

 

Same here. Fortunately for me, the shop I went to says the parts are still under warranty so they're gonna replace them and all I have to pay for is labor. Up next will be a new stereo since a construction truck kicked up a rock and sent through an open window and hit my current stereo and shattered the inner screen.

 

Scored a gen 1 TRD Cold Air Intake recently...got it put on with some new black couplers for a cleaner look than the stock red ones.

 

Ok for the stereo..if possible, stay away from the Chinese garbage. I made that mistake. Twice. My next one is going to be worth the money.

 

Definitely, I put in a pioneer double din years ago the get the current one for the hands free calling and Bluetooth tech. I've always stuck with pioneer.

 

It’s so unpredictable, it’s ridiculous. Some don’t get vibes after a lift, some benefit from the carrier bearing drop(some don’t), some benefit from axle shims(some don’t), some benefit from both. I’ve read the Tom Woods one-piece has completely eliminated vibes but there are also a few that have experienced MORE vibes from it. People have measured all their driveline angles with similar results. It just sounds like a trial and error thing

 

Looks like you did the boot slide mod as well?

 

This is news to me. Maybe my local guy did it unbeknown to me?

 

If it's handy, I would love to see some pictures.
