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

Dirty 5’s?

 

Yessir! ... err the metric equivalent.

 

Time to de-badge!

It'a good you live in a nice area!!

 

Did a search but no hits: anyone installed this compass mirror on a 2015 Taco? I know when I installed my lighted side mirrors it was PnP. Wondering the overhead console is also prewired. TIA

 

So, both of those scenarios were the case. It was a good deal, and my color. The guys son listed it on Marketplace and didn’t describe it very well. I reached out for more details and he told me to call his dad. So, that’s how I ended up knowing what it was. I could tell by the shape and color I was going to be close. Happily, I was right.

Wheels are 17x9 Fuel Shock in Bronze. Tires are Yoko Geolander MTs in 295/70-17. Yes, they rubbed until I did the cmc and trimmed the front of the flares. Rear suspension is a set or stock 3rd gen new take off springs, plus a add a leaf. Fronts are stock CO’s with a spacer. I have a set of OME 886’s on Dobinson struts waiting for a set of UCA’s to come along.

 

I always use discount tire when I can. They have the best service and pricing. Never went wrong with them. I bought rims and tires for my subaru years back and then they showered up with the wrong bolt pattern I called and they had them picked up the next day, shipped to chicago, tires on new rims and shipped back within 3 days!

 

Trying something a little different. This is more of an experiment than anything. One of my recent trips, my drain plug loosened itself from rubbing on rocks. So I took a piece of 1/8” and tacked it on as a protector of sorts. Time will tell if it works or not. This was the least obtrusive way I could think of to protect it. I could have tacked the drain plug itself, but that would be a pain to undo.

edit: bolt on diff skids have a hole there for the drain plug, so it wouldn’t have offered any additional protection here. It still would have loosened itself.

 

Been using DTD for years (ever since my lowered Corolla days ) and love them.

 

I installed one with the temp/compass. There is a plug beneath the console but I still had to run a wire for the temp sensor. Pretty simple install

 

My last car was a lifted Subaru XV. Seriously good off road and you wouldn't expect! just didn't have enough space for my multi week trips.

 

Got these welded today. who doesn't like bacon....lol



Now to find a press... And buy bearings etc...

 

Spent the better part of yesterday putting on my Hooke Off Road rack. I think it looks pretty cool and will work nicely for carrying a kayak and other supplies. To those who are interested I recommend NOT buying it from Amazon. Stick with the Hooke website or somewhere else

 

That's probably $1500 worth of tires. If somebody wanted them.....they're not THAT big . I'd be glad they were still there, but I may make a call to..........................................................who the fuck do you call to complain about something like that? LOL

 

Looking good!

 

That wouldn't last long in my area

 

Thank you lol, was quite a blessing.... haha i shall, is goo-gone acceptable?

 

Love my honeycomb grill on my 2010.

 

I used goo-gone without any problems. When I ran out of that I used some carb cleaner on a rag and cleaned it immediately after.

 

Digging the white skid plate

 

Got my rays in and on... couldn’t be happier
