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

Well looks like I'm getting the $40 XL version. That's, I want to say, $100 so far on grease coupling accoutrements.

Whatever, as long as I can get some grease into the rat bastard. Even my cheapy lucas coupler is just a tit bit too wide to clamp on.

 

the zerks in the Total Chaos ucas were my breaking point to buy one, i have TCs on two FJs and greasing them using theor zerks was a chore, now it isnt bad at all

 

Sure I’ll snag it from you. I still have that grill also.

 

For what its worth, I had a hell of a time trying to get grease into my Dirt King LCA zerk with my normal coupler. I would pop it on and the grease would start coming out of the end and not go into the zerk. I bought the Lock N Lube (long version just in case the short version wouldn't be able to reach my zerks on the front of my driveshaft) and this thing powered right through with no problem. This was just my experience. $40 well spent on my end.

Thank you! Loving it, although funny you say this, I always thought Spruce Micah DCLB (and a cap) was rare, but there happen to be 4 of them within 10km of where I live. Looks like I'm in the capital of spruce micah's hah

 

How's the ride with the 4/4 setting?

 

It's fantastic, definitely took a lot of the small bumps out of the road during daily driving. It's also a fair amount softer wheeling, you can move faster over rougher terrain.

No complaints here.

I would imagine the fifth setting would make it ride similar in 'roughness' to a stock setup

 

Tcase fluid change done

 

Also running 4/4 with 5160 and dakar leaf pack. The front is noticeably softer with a bit more brake dive. No complaints though, it's a lifted truck.

 

This thing is bitchin!

 

Thanks dude!

More progress on LT

 

I love watching your progress on this thing. But how do you have enough time in your day to do so much? I can hardly change my oil after working a full day.
Great work man!

 

I work from home but also barely have anything to do at my job, so I have my computer open while I half ass answer emails. Today I took leave so I could solely focus on this thing. Accidentally skipped lunch too, for 7 straight hours of wrenching today.

 

Thats how I am when I get into a project! Wish I worked at home I'd get a lot more done on my truck. I gotta do my u joints and carrier bearing this weekend but I am also in a wedding so I probably wont get to it.

 

Quick polish of the headlights, makes a big difference…

 

Found some pink Kool-aid where I didn't want to find it. 96k miles so I guess it's due.



Working on drawers/platform, almost done. Taking a long time since it's the first build but I could do it again much faster. Will have a write-up later.



@SpikerEng ULTIMATE lift hood struts. Definitely should have come like this from the Toyota factory.



Test-fitting new (used) Yakima Sweetroll pads and round crossbars. Don't like how they fit my Jackson Traverse 10 but it will work for now. Bonus tiny rainbow in the background.
