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

You are not wrong about that with the existing setup... I anticipated and adjusted my 5100 up to the second clip. I have 725# Eibach pro lift springs installed on 5100's. Even with a high tier spring compressor, it was really freaking sketchy. I could barely get a few threads started on the main nut and cranked it down. The heavy duty spring compressor I utilized made some noises I've never heard before. After alot of verification and conversations, I can confirm the spring rate on these suckers is ridiculously out of the norm of what TW members are used to...

The ride is ridiculously comfortable at the current setting. I'm surprised. Maybe it's the superbumps but imo these digressive Bilsteins love high spring rates.

Bumper/winch 170#, sliders 160#, LT 33" + wheels 320#

Only picture I have after a late night of having most of the components on.. last minute as I am heading out to barnwell for a bit off offroading this weekend. Got a cool sticker today as well to access the park

 

As much as I hate Tacomabeast, I may have to take advantage of this. Especially with that 10% off coupon. $540 shipped is not that bad

 

Go for the OBDii link while you're at it. I didn't think much of it til I towed a boat a thousand miles over east coast mountains last weekend. Having that visibility was nice. no doubt the Pioneer unit have equivalent layouts. That is CRAZY what happened to your screen, man!

 

Before
After

 

How did you get your fuel to work. I’ve gotten almost everything except that to work

 

Looks great! are these the Titanium or black finish? Hard to tell sometimes with lighting.

 

It's a piece of cake. I can help you and I'm local to you. I have 34 years of professional installer experience.

 

Maestro RR unit, had no issues.

 

I'd considered the Subaru Tweeters, then lucked into a component system with crossovers. 6.5' with baffles. It's been years since I dicked around with good car audio. I'm amazed at the sound quality across the spectrum, low volume, high volume. Very much worth it.

 

are you in a DC or an AC?

 

Yes a matched system with crossovers is a night and day type of difference.

 

Trying to decide whether to post this or not...guess its yes..JUST an observation...I ordered a rear bumper (Alum) for my truck from CBI thru my local shop in Jan..was told 10-12 week delivery.....had them check in late Feb due to the virus crap as to whether the delivery time was still good... they were told no problem....end of last month I asked wheres it at?, the shop was told its on its way in a week or so...Yesterday I asked again WTF...the shop was told, oh..its in production , be 3-6 weeks more...cancled order...

NOT LOOKING FOR HATERS OR OTHER CRAP...just saying

 

Nice upgrade. I looked at these. I liked them a lot, just too similar to what I already had. My new wheels should be mounted this afternoon.

 

Your frustration is felt by many with me among the ones affected during "normal" times before the COVID. The conundrum is small builders with big demand. I waited FOREVER for my two bumpers from another quality builder, but I'm glad I did. If it ships fast from a larger supply of sitting stock, it's probably not as well made as those that are made at order time. That's my 2 cents.

 

For those that followed along with my bed bob process, I have a compiled everything into this thread for your viewing pleasure.

Yesssss!

 

Got a chemical guys kit for birthday and detailed my taco for the first time by hand. Used a Mother's Clay bar kit, and 303 on all vinyl/plastic. Took about an hour and a half because I got in every nook and cranny. Brought this 10 year old truck to life. One of the best things I've done to it. If you've never hand washed the truck yourself I highly recommend it. Picture doesn't do the difference it made justice

 

Did the BLHM yesterday. Took me about 4 hours. All I have to say is that the seal better hold up because removing those headlights was way harder than it needed to be

 

Got the whole virus thing..just give me the date your comfortable making....rather then its shipping in 2 weeks, and 3 weeks later oh its in production now ...

 

What kind of supercharger is that?
