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

what made you go with yakima? vs any of the other brands (they look nice)..... I am researching options now.... thx-

 

Oh gotcha. Did you have issues in the rear with the 285s?

 

Thanks for the review !
It is the same I've installed

 

Are your pods in the bumper mounted to the aluminum crash bar?

 

Just. bought it last week at 120k miles, don't know when last owner changed the spark plugs, so that's what I did today! Drivers side was a little more difficult with the space but thanks to chris4x4 I knew exactly what to move!
Previous owner used NGK Iridium, which apparently aren't suggested. They didn't look too bad. I replace with OEM Denso.

 

Not at all. Plenty of room back there.

 

Fuck me. I'm 4.3 BS on 35s. Shock relocate coming up, and I was hoping to get away with 0.75" boras. I have spidertrax spacers i took off when I jumped to 35s to get me out of my firewall. Maybe I'll just throw those in back. I'm not rubbing upfront now, except barely on my resi when turned and stuffed, but I can live with that. About to gusset up my spindles though and then I might rub on those. I'll try the boras upfront if so and hopefully they don't push my arc into the firewall and require tubbing (I beat back my firewall as far as I could with a BFH already.).
Shit!

 

Speaking of which, anyone running 0.75" or 0.5" Boras with 4.3 BS wheels? Not sure if that BS will require me to trim down my OEM wheel studs to make the wheels fit or if there is enough room.

Edit: I got SCS F5 wheels.

 

At first glance I thought you edited the pic with the orange vinyl pieces to "point" at the tires

 

At the risk of sounding like a noob what is a BFH?

 

Big Fucking Hammer

 

Bought front and rear bump stops from @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc and they somehow managed to forget half the order and not include the front bumps. When I called them to resolve this issue they told me to take a picture to show I didn't receive it (as if I wouldn't just remove it from the picture if I was in fact scamming them, but who needs 2 sets of bumps? lol). When asked how they would make it right they said the best they could do is 5% off next order. You get 10% off for just signing up with an email lol. Sounds like they are still hungover from Christmas over there, or already drunk for new years. Next order will be with @HeadStrong Off-Road

 

How many of these did you order for both sides ?

 

Ah thanks.

 

That sucks. I've had similar issues with them, as well as several of my friends (e.g., messing up orders). One of which, @Twizted, had a very similar thing happen to him, as did to you (didnt send his entire order but fought him on it when he tried to resolve it, which I do get from their standpoint to deter scamming, but he paid and didn't receive so....). It took a lot of effort on his part to prove it and make them make it right. I know they provide good services to many people on here, but from the numerous experiences between my friends and I, I have since gone to other vendors and would recommend other vendors instead of them.

@Twizted had them check the shipping weight to get them to realize they never sent everything. That was the only way he was able to prove he was shorted and wasn't running a scam.

 

Pulled the rack and RTT off to put them up for sale. Getting ready to do the off-road trailer mod.

 

Will be expecting a trailer thread some of us have a fettish

 

Ya I would totally understand if it were king coilovers or some other high dollar item... but we are talking about front bumpstops here, who would lie about that? Lol

 

Try the shipping weight approach to prove it.
