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

Smooth talked my way into a free set of TRD Pro headlights, but had to remove a few things to get my headlights off, knew that was going to be an issue when I was welding up the bumper hoops





Once I got those situated I added wheel spacers to get my tires off of the control arms, which led to a lot more cutting of everything to not rub (315’s really aren’t for the faint of heart)



tried to keep the fenders looking stock-ish, only made room where I needed it.

Final product





Still rubs on the chopped cab mounts, guess it’s getting the cab mount relocation brackets next.

 

I went with lil bs cab relocation kit, definitely worth it. With that and around 4 degrees of caster I have virtually no rubbing

 

Nice! I’ve got a set of allpro brackets that seem pretty nice, chopped my cab mounts while I was waiting for them to come in but unfortunately only bought enough room pre-wheel spacer. I’ve gotta go back and check what I have my uppers set at for caster, might be able to buy a little room there too.

 

I think 4 degrees is the perfect amount for 315s without getting crazy bump steer. I went from around 2.5 to 4 and it gave me so much more room near the cab mount

 

No pics in the truck, but I picked up one of these center consoles from eBay:

Great addition to the bench seat, which along with the small pillow I stuffed in for lumbar support really makes for a comfortable ride. I do need to move my phone mount, but I have a couple of ideas for it...

 

That makes sense, I think I’m at 2.5 right now too, thanks for the tip!

 

Roof rack and Bumper and winch..

 

Man I ordered them back in November and the delivery date kept being pushed back to some time next week. I finally cancelled the order and bought WetaherTech 2 weeks ago. Already have them installed. Couldn’t beat the price for a full dc set. Paid $160 from Extreme Terrain. How do you like the Maxpider in person?

 

Love them and way better fitment than the Weathertechs I had.

 

Has anyone replaced the rear driveshaft boot on a 2nd Gen using the Spicer #

$22 211932X Boot Kit

211932X boot kit?

From what I can see it looks identical to the original Toyota boot as it is illustrated, but they don't list the ID for both ends or the overall length.

The original boot is four ribs/five if you count the bigger end, 4 3/4" long, and the ID is 1 3/4" on one end and 1 1/8" on the other.

 

Shell got me all messed up. The fuel pump neck was faulty and fuel started coming out of it like crazy. Lots of fresh 87 all over the side of the truck, not happy about it.

Plus side is I love detailing my truck.

 

I found a break in the same spot on my Toytech springs. Very few gentle miles on them, I’m disappointed to say the least.

 

Pulled the trigger on a Martin Foundation roof rack today. Pics later following delivery/install.

 

Vinyl wrap and plastidip the interior. Removed carpet n weather sealed it . No scratches, no fades so intent to protect it for as long as possible with vinyl .

 

Nothing like a nice clean truck

I just got mine all spit polished up. Something I've always like to do while sipping a favorite drink and listening to music

 

Gave the taco a face lift. New OEM smoked housings, DD SS3 Pro fogs, color matched 2011 grille, ultimate headlight upgrade harness, and osram 90/100w bulbs. Now to wait for darkness so I can really see the improvement.

Now I want to do that to mine instead of the 3 I have...

 

Went camping with a buddy, been months since I've made it out. Tried to get up to a lookout tower I know of but his old Ford doesn't like the snow so we turned around and made camp next to the river. Was beautiful out.

 

After looking for a while I finally got my hands on a nice set of OR wheels and a great deal. Getting them balanced and mounted on Friday
