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

Still not as bad as the time, before I found TW, I was hauling a set of 4" and 1 1/4" screening plant screens, and wear plates (1 1/2" thick steel plates used for the cutting edge on loader buckets) for my old man's rock crushing/ recycling company and legitimately rode an hour back to the yard on my bumpstops. Had to be close to 2500 lbs in the bed at least. Cali lean was in full effect, lol. Wish I still had the picture.

 

I hope they're better people than in the 60+ thread...

 

I mounted them to the same place the originals are, but had to drill a hole out for the passenger side one. I only used the original wiring to tap into for power. a spade connector plugs into the connector that connected the factory horns. otherwise I used the harness in my original post.

 

Gusseted spindles & hub bearing assemblies. Torqued & buttoned everything down to spec and I’m pretty sure I didn’t seat the axle all the way. FML I’ll just pop the axle nut off tomorrow & zip it real good with my impact, then back it off and torque it to spec. Also, used a bag of salt pellets to keep the hub from spinning when torquing it to spec. Also greased my UCA & outer tie rod (moog) Will do the other side tomorrow night.

 

I have no comparison I know several are in the 60+ also

 

Thanks bro

 

Don't think I've ever seen you type that phrase

 

I know right? My wife is 34 weeks pregnant with our firstborn, so my truck will be a street queen for a bit. If I'm going to be driving it around town and occasionaly to work, I want it to be more pleasant. Plus a month or two ago, I found a small piece of spring from the lunchbox locker. Yesterday when I drained it, I found more pieces. Nothing appeared to be damaged but I'm glad I'm swapping now before something catastrophic happens.

 

Wasn't today but I am so pumped on got these.

I was originally looking for a OEM Tacoma bed mat but they were so expensive brand new and I couldn't find any locally used. I found this bed rug and tailgate rug on Craigslist for $50 brand new! It was a perfect match for my Brand new softtopper! I was going back and forth between the two brands and I pulled the trigger on the softtopper. I am beyond satisfied with these two purchases. The dog loves it too!

 

Yesterday I finally got around to mounting my fire extinguisher. I will be installing my fridge tonight when the jackery shows up so I might need to move it to the other side where the first aid is. We will see how much space there is.

 

First time towing

 

Looks like a load for the dump

 

If you've lifted your truck you should consider getting a drop hitch, maybe ~2", depending on your lift. Looks like the back shouldn't be sagging that much compared to the front.

But also, I'm a newbie and I've only had my taco for 6 months so take this comment with a grain of salt

 

Get some air bags!

 

More info on the stang?

 

You didn't have to modify or drill anything to make them fit? They just bolted right up?

 

Could find the “8S6” paint code but I did find another site. Thanks for info

 

Didn’t even think of that. Thanks!

 

You are Covid 19 prepared with the paper towel dispenser. Not knocking it........really looks handy for grilling and washing up after cooking!

 

O yeah Always keep the shop towels in the truck! Super handy to clean the dogs muddy paws, any spills, or just a runny nose. The blue towels are the best!
