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

Have any Lucas oil stabilizer or something like that?

 

Half a qrt isn’t a big deal. 10W30 won’t hurt a thing. If it makes you feel better drive to get some oil.

 

No

Thanks. I figured it wasn't a big deal, but figured I'd check first

 

Got the new alpharex 2nd gen tail lights in...will try to install later on today. I wanted to keep the same brand tails to match the headlights
*pic on truck is from Tacomabeast I believe

 

The shop I took it to is an off road shop that is associated with the Toyota dealer here in town.
This is the reply i got back from JBA:
Hi Ed,
Factory caster on your truck is +2 degrees. +2.7 is much better and just fine. Taller tires with larger sidewalls and more tread void favor more + caster than OEM soccer mom tires which is why we recommend running more than the factory setting. If you`re running a little more lift than is typical you may find that you can`t get quite as much. Anything +2 or greater is god though. 0 caster is something vehicles ran back in the 1960s when cars had manual steering, it made them steer easier. Caster has virtually no effect on tire wear, camber is where you could see wear issues.

 

The tractor driver said he had to switch to high gear to keep up. They couldn’t get it out before I hooked the turd up.

 

Added some 1.25” spidertrax spacers and an oem skid plate.

 

I installed my Fend X fender liners today. I’ll try them out before I pass final judgment, but I kind of wish I had just left the flimsy stock shit in there.

 

My trucks first alignment with the same UCA's had stock specs except for the caster which was 3.5 and 3.7. The second alignment still had stock specs but with 4.5 and 4.9 caster. I liked the first alignment better btw.

 

Get a new alignment guy. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. I have JBAs and run 4* caster and 0 toe 0 camber no issue getting those specs.

 

Getting in kahoots with @boogie3478
Heat shrink on hose clamps and did an oil change

 

Alpharex 2nd gen taillights

 

sorry, I think they look like an inflamed brown eye

 

Never seen one but thanks

 

I'm still on the fence so to speak, they remind me of watermelon??? But I kinda like them too so...

 

Now don’t go messin’ with my brown eyed girl. Yes, my brown eyed girl.....don’t you remember when....she used to say.... OK, I’m bored. Can’t remember who sang it and to lazy to look it up. After staring at the tail lights for a while, I could see Mars and or a milkyway midnight. either way And stay away from @boogie3478, he’ll empty your wallet. Just ask how I know this!

 

Not much just checked the fluids under the hood post rain and I thought she looked good wet so I took a picture lol

 

Van Morrison sang the song. And what she said was “Shalalalalalalalalala, lahtedah.”

 

Ditched the factory fogs. Giving caliraised a try.
