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

My vote is leave them Gray. Not a huge fan of painted rotors. Screams Civic
Also want to hear the improvement after you install them. What did that run you?

 

I do agree that painted calipers can lend itself to a bit of “fast and furious” look..... I didn’t order them powdered because I, too, am leaning toward leaving them.

they were $1250 for the pair.

I’ll certainly post feedback. I’m Hoping for a decent improvement. These 35’s cause the stock configuration a great deal of strain

 

Looks like your marketing a house with the fruit on the counter. Only reason I noticed as I'm in the home selling bizz! Very nice add though! I wouldn't spend the money on powder coating but I'm a cheap bastard most of the time!

 

thats my wife. She likes the way fruit looks but doesn’t love how fast it spoils....... so fake fruit it is.

yea I am pretty cheap too. “If it ain’t broke.....”

 

you got more coin than me! But understand about the tire size and the strain!

You may want to consider a battery tender.

 

Well I threw caution to the wind and put on 285 70 17 KO2s C load. Awesome tire, 51 lbs still getting between 17 mpg and 20 depending on city or highway. Getting a CMC done next week.
Also installed ICON UCA’s with the delta joint.

 

PS flush with my son. Cycled through just over 1qt of OEM ATF in there. Not sure if it’s ever been done in this truck or how long ago but the steering feels lighter and smoother on our quick test drive. Super easy job with some DIY fuel line, barn fittings & hose clamps. Also just put a splash of coolant in my overflow reservoir because it has been looking rather low lately even after long hot drives.

 

I got a picture just like that

 

Not near an outlet

 

That's where I got mine. $215 shipped

 

This truck screams BADASS well done

 

I didn’t have my truck until 104k, so I guess I have to wait for... 10 million?

 

You can go ahead and throw it in my truck

 

Replaced air filter and yanked out the secondary filter while I was in there. Sharp chisel and a palm-blow made easy work of the melted rivets.

Then I swapped the cabin filter. Only had truck for 6k miles so I'm getting around to things. Want to change fluids soon as I have no record of their age (diffs, transfer case and trans)

 

How did you go about reclearing?
Also, what brand CF vinyl wrap is that?

 

Vinyl wrap is vivvid vinyl and I used USC Spraymax 2k clearcoat. Wetsanded with 2000 grit to knock down high points then sprayed about 4 coats of clear.

 

More details to the decision factors, didn’t see them in your build thread
