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

Changed out 111,000 mile old SR5 shocks with some 2020 TRD OR takeoffs. Alignment tomorrow morning, but a quick run around the neighborhood and they sure do feel a lot nicer.

 

Added this crucial mod.

Did you document the lift amount?

 

Sure didn’t. Someone else on here has documented a similar swap, his measurements from wheel center to fender seems to show a 3/4” lift. I wasn’t so much after a lift as better, newer shocks.

So far, Bilstein 4600’s sure do feel different. They soak up that initial hit from a bump without being jarring and settle down quickly. It’ll be interesting feeling them next time I go camping.

Made the switch over to an ARB

 

I have to get this. Thanks for making me spend $10. 2 Fast 2 Furious is the closest any movie sequel has ever come to being as good as it’s prequel. Pockets ain’t empty cuz!

 

Trimmed my factory mud flaps on my 2010 4x4. They were making awful noises on anything remotely steep... After everything I took 6" off the front mud flaps and 1.75" off the rear to keep the "4x4" with a bit of padding. Fingers crossed that the scraping will be a thing of the past.

Forgot to take before pics

 

3 hours, a tooth brush, a lot of microfiber towels and some 1:2 diluted simple green. Betty white has never been this clean under the hood.

 

Holy shit! Thats impressive.

 

Thanks, I’m impressed with how well it cleaned up. Obviously it’s not perfect but it’s a million times better than it was.

 

I’ve been meaning to do it for mine. Heard steamers are really good for doing this.

 

You’ll think something is clean.Then you’ll use steam and go oh shit now that’s clean!!!

 

I’ve watched a lot of the detail geek on YouTube. And those steamers are super impressive!!

 

Getting ready for a new camper in Jan.

 

Cool setup. Reminds me I need to order another wheel for a matching spare.

 

which one are you getting?

 

Just got these babies in. Got a quote for $450 and another for $500 for powdercoating... does this sound normal to you guys? Sounds like a shit ton.

 

Got my @MESO steering wheel emblem cover.

No more chrome inside!
