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

619!
What color?
Are you in a rush?
I can get it done for less if you're not in a hurry, from a major San Diego County powdercoat business... PM me

 

I ran the stock wheels with ko’s for 7+ years. Swithed to methods a couple years ago. Should’ve done it way sooner. I was running wheel spacers to clear something. If I remember right the Camburg uca’s I was running had tire rub without the spacers. Got the back spacing right on the methods and ditched the spacers.

 

619!

 

Had my transmission drain and filled from a good transmission shop here. Next thing to fix is my bearing noise I have. Cannot find out which wheel bearing is going bad. Have 169K miles on the original trans fluid. No issues with the fluid.

 

I’m at 130k and did mine about 10k ago. Went to do f/r brakes and new lines and both fronts were almost roasted so I did those too. I got all the info here.

 

Hah, I have the same one in black. The kids get a crack out of it.

 

Is there anywhere to get those cans for a decent price? Everywhere I've found them online seem really expensive for a small can.. but maybe it's just sticker shock.

 

Nothing like deleting that bit of chrome

 

Looks good!

 

I've been putting this mod off for so long. I need to do this soon, it looks so awesome and functional

 

SixOneNine!

 

No, and yes it's expensive for a small can, but it's roto-molded into a non-reservoir shape vs pressed, so I expect it to carry the same cost associated. In other words, you get what you pay for, in this case an easily mounted/unmounted roto-molded, thick walled, real durable "all the time" gas can.

To be fair, I do not own one, nor will I likely ever own one. I don't meet the requirements for that kind of ownership.

 

Have you read about the swelling? I don't own one but I've heard about them getting stuck on the mount.

 

What kind of light is that in the first picture? It's angle downward.

 

Identity crisis on your UCAs?

 

What did you do with the chrome one? I have a Limited and need a new bumper.

 

LOTS better! Can't say it's gone completely but now it's on the level of tire thread vibration. Before, it was like being in a paint mixer with the vibration so bad, I couldn't keep my rear view mirror adjusted.

Will try to add a spacer to the center bearing to see if I can get rid of it completely but for now, I'm happy I got rid of 95% of it.

Wasn't a difficult project but beware, Murphy always shows up! If there are 4 bolts that need to be removed, 3 will come off like butter but you'll spend an hour banging and cussing on the last one. If a flange has 4 holes, 3 will line up perfectly but the last one will be off just enough to prevent the bolt from going through until enough prying, banging, and cursing has been applied.

The smooth ride is worth it though!

 

I still have it. You can pick it up if your local. FYI it’s just the chrome cap you have to reuse your own brackets

 

Ordered a set of MTRs. Order got cancelled and spent an hour trying to find a set.
We will see come next Monday if i succeeded or not lol

 

Finished painting the other side of my skids.
They're going on this morning.


Whoa, deja vu.
