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

Got my new Hammer Hangers from @punkmanmatthew thanks again buddy!

 

Where did you get the shift lever knob?

 

Todays project was to trim my bumper wings back 1" because at full stuff the tire was kissing them.

 

Looks good! Almost cant tell... what size tire you running these days?

 

Thanks, that was the goal. I took my time and got my metal finishing down and it's pretty seamless. 35" tires.

 

Wasn't sure you moved to 37s or not. Any plans for that? I saw it done somewhere on here or youtube... can't remember off hand.

 

just make sure you have a way to reinflate your tires

 

Maybe one day lol I would like to, but we’ll see

 

Ok I'm confused now. Why would you slice nd spice instead of just trimming am inch off the end and recapping it?

 

This way I didn’t have to create a new end cap. This was actually pretty damn easy. Plus it helped me practice my metal finishing to make it seamless.

 

orders 37s at the same time as posting this

 

Yes it is.
I was searching for a cheaper way to buy connectors and found the site.
The price of the connectors from Toyota aren't too bad but once you need a terminal (repair wire) and you need 5 of them, it gets really expensive.
Just takes some research to find the correct one but it's way cheaper. I got the faster shipping on the last order so I'm going to see how long it takes.
The first order took forever to get here.

 

I’ve decided if/when I do go 37s, I need some proper beadlocks too. So $2,500 in wheels and another $1,500 in tires And I’ll want steering reinforcement, +2 LT to help them clear and more articulation, and to lock my front diff. It’s going to spiral.

 

at least youre doing the prep work to the body and suspension now

 

I got them off eBay. The seller made some changes for me before I ordered them.

Got some switches for my new switch panel - now I just need my bumpers so I can wire up my lights and winch. Rock lights are on the way.



Finished my OBA install with a 2.5gal Viair tank under the bed with my quick connect running into the big cubby.




And got a clean little compressor switch for the only free spot in the dash.



The journey continues.

 

Where did you hide the other part of the viair setup? Aka the little compressor (I think thats what it is).

 

Well,just got my Soft topper back from my dad. And installed it on my truck. Took off the market for the time being. I think I will use it off and on thru winter. Plus it looks just sweet.
Be Safe...

Realized that I’ve had my truck 3 years this week! And I’ve put 115,000 miles on her. Not bad... 38,000 a year.

And more to come!

Meanwhile, this summer has been loaded up with maintenance...new rotors, brake pads, alignment, all 5 ujoints, the carrier bearing, refreshed and repainted roof roof rack, swapped spindles, had my shocks rebuilt and ride height adjusted, replaced my TC UCA uniballs, replaced door surround weather stripping, fresh brake fluid.

Next up: rear brakes, oil change, diffs
