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

Still on my original factory battery! Also still using my IPhone 6s - original battery as well!

 

Close. Spangler hills park in Ridgecrest

 

Quick question. Was this only necessary when you went up to 35's? What are the offset and backspacing of your wheels? I have 33's (285/70R17's) now and will be doing a 12 inch shock relocation for the rear of my truck. I have 1.25" spidertrax now but only on the stock +30 offset TRD sport rims. I will be moving to a 17x9 with a -12 mm offset and really want to do away with my spacers.

 

These came in. Quality is top notch. V3 Clearance is on par if not slightly higher than stock. Cant wait to get them installed!

 

What are they exactly m

I’m keeping my tradition of teaching my kids how to drive in the taco. We were in an empty college parking lot and no cars around.

 

I can't say for certain but I never noticed my 33s rubbing on the suspension when one of the tires was fully stuffed. Wheels have 3.5" backspacing and -25mm offset

 

Did something super exciting today I changed the cabin air filter ha

I also ordered total chaos lower control arms, arb recovery point and @CaliRaisedLed ditch light bracketd

 

Got the extra leaves for my medium duty OME springs from the wifey for Christmas. And got shipping notification for my U-bolt flip kit and Timbren Bump stops. WheelersOffRoad Shipped super fast! Had to upgrade with the RTT coming this spring.

 

Got my Bare outfitters Trailgate panel installed. It showed up in one piece no thanks to UPS. It looked like the box fell out of the truck at 60 mph. I immediately put it to good use.
Then moved my first aid kit and cpr kit to this bag that was my dad's when he was in the army back in the early 70's. Probably gonna redo the strap to make it a little shorter and need to sew in some velcro or come up with another strap so it doesn't just hang there.

Also finally got my Caliraised pods mounted to the front bumper for foglights.

 

Just pulled in to Discount Tires to get my new Falken Wildpeaks, right as the snow started. Perfect timing!

 

Starting to disassemble my front suspension and I have one more bolt before I can start installing the new stuff. Anyone have any tips on how to get the bolt at the bottom of the shock out? I can spin it but its difficult to spin. Bushing doesn't look like its spinning with it but it will not budge

 

Take a hammer and punch and tap it out

 

Hammer time

 

did you loosen the alignment cams? that will let the control arm freely drop all the way down. be sure to mark their clocking with a sharpie before you do so you can roughly get it back in alignment when tightening back up.

 

Been smacking it with a rubber deadblow hammer and its budged a fingernail thickness. It doesn't spin out it just pushes right?

 

Yep everything is loose the spring is free at the top this bolt is just being fickle

 

Put the nut back on and hit it with a metal hammer. It has added shock value. Do you have weight off the shock?

 

well i'll be damned. i remember those being a pain before i loosened the cams, but once i did that they just slid right out. what @boogie3478 said. impact hammer to be specific.
