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

I'll try to find the picture and post it. It was just three small pieces of metal to fill the gap using the skid bolts to hold them in place. Didn't look too strong.

 

The 4 cylinder frame cross members are further apart than the 6 cylinder frame cross members. The front bolt holes on the skid are 24 inches from the rear bolt holes on the skid.

 

And this is why this website rocks!

 

Thank

Thank you! Sounds like I’ll have to fab something up then to make it work

 

Has anyone installed a coastall off-road front bumper on their own? I haven’t been able to find any tutorials or anything

 

Planned on changing out the front bump stops to energy suspension bumps. Got the drivers side changed out and the bolt snapped on the passenger.....

 

Rut row!

 

Same thing happened to me.....i had to drill the piece out, then add a long bolt to the bumpstop and put a nylok nut up in there. Took me about 2 freaking hours.

 

Picked up some lca skids from my favorite off road shop in bc.

 

My T-harness showed up today.
I finished the main mod to it (adding wires and relocating a few).
I need to add a connector for a relay and it's done. I'll do that tomorrow, I'm tired and I'm afraid I'll mess it up again.

 

Mine broke off when I did the lift. I haven't had the time to fix it (running around with no front bump stops). I need to replace the LCA's so that might be the perfect time to do them.

 

Drained and filled the rear diff with Amsoil Sever Gear 75w-90. $13 a quart and delivered FAST.
Now onto the front diff and transfer case with more of the same.

 

I couldn't find the picture online but here is a crude drawing I made.

 

FYI, several months on this part is working like a champ. No chirping, no weird shit at all.

 

Hi guys,

I did a search but couldn't find what I was looking for about the even more bone-headed move I pulled today. I like this section so will post here first.

Story goes...I added some new haul ropes to the garage doors of our new place. Silky! However, I routed them so they are a little wider out from where they were to take advantage of a better haul point. Long story short, as I was looking backwards over my right shoulder to back up, I lassoed the driver side door mirror on my wife's 06 Speedway Blue all-options TRD Sport Taco and broke the bracket into a bunch of pieces. The mirror and mirror surround are fine, but the bracket is toast.

Doesn't look like I can find just the bracket but can you guys recommend a cheap aftermarket mirror that has the same bracket to mount the OEM Speedway Blue mirror surround? I'm worried that if I get a cheapy, the bracket will be different and the correct color OEM surround won't mate up.
