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

thats where the machine guns and rocket launchers pop out....right?

 

Yes but only under 13mph

 

what happens at 14 mph?

 

The driveline vibes something fierce, thereby throwing off the machine guns aim @ rendering them useless. But it goes away again at 17mph.

 

I can't find it in my Amazon history. Pretty sure @boogie3478 has a link to it. That's how I found it.

 

Are you guys saying to remove these brackets entirely?

 

Yes, and you reuse the hardware on the RCI skid

 

I’m curious if you’ll have a clearance issue with the diff drop.

 

So I got it on. My bumper is aluminum and coated in Line-X. I actually had to loosen the front bumper to get the lip in! Any time I think I can do a parking lot install I'm always wrong. Ha!

Thanks guys for the info. I 5 out of 6 bolts installed. I'll have to drop it and bore out one of the mounting holes on the skid. Seems it was a hair off. Enough to not allow the bolt to bite.

I drove it around the block. Nothing odd. No strange noises.

 

Picked up my new stronger rear driveline and installed it. No more vibrations. Also found out that despite my skids being 1/4" steel, I still managed to bend the tranny skid pretty good the last time I was wheeling.

 

Spotted this gem today in Annapolis while visiting. It clearly isn't a Tacoma but it's still worthy of a share. Overlanding level - Expert

 

Dude that looks factory fit. Is yours the android 10 version thats $324 or the Android 8 version thats under $100? Either way that thing is beautiful!

 

Thank you. It is the 10. It does so much stuff! Maps are awesome on it. I got it on Facebook marketplace for $150. I'd get it again at the $3-400 price point though. I was just lucky.

 

This looks nice. I have a Kenwood and I can't get the Android Auto to work to save my life. I'm about to pull it and replace it with something else.

 

@crazyfingers who is this?

 

The Taco was due for a fresh bumper. Was gonna call it a face lift but seeing as its the rear bumper I guess its more of an ass lift?

I used Mother's Back to Black on the trim and Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish on the skull hitch cover. Gonna complete the face lift with new headlights, front bumper cover and a Homertaco Toywerx grill to finish it off. Should be looking fresh when all is said and done!

 

Been trying to find this on the forum for awhile, does anybody have a Wheelers Offroad discount code for TW? I want to order some super bumps as the stock ones are complete ass

 

Ha, look at the locks on the doors!

 

I think there’s 10% off if you sign up for the newsletter. If you’ve done that before you could try it from a browser you don’t use often. Or try clearing cookies. Gotta be a work around.

 

They don't have a code per say but if you note it in the order comments, they'll knock a bit off. Worked every time for me.
