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

1/2" Buttonhead hardware arrived last night so now my rear-end is limited.. Needed buttonhead to clear/protect the bumpstops.

 

Installed the dirtskum bezel and tip, had to get it configured because of the spring under kit.

 

After traveling thru 2 airports today, and 2 flights, I was reminded that I hate (most) people. I want one too.

 

Did a cb install. Took a bit of cutting to make it sit far back in the cubby but gave it a nice flush mount and it’s out of the way of the cup holders!

 

That actually seems a lot easier than I would have thought it would be. Might have to give it a shot. Out of curiosity why do you not check the caster?

 

It’s too much effort and I don’t really care about specific numbers since caster doesn’t impact tire wear. I know ballpark where it’ll be. Im less concerned with firewall clearance as well since I tubbed it, so rubbing isn’t a concern.

 

Foes caster affect tire wear if one side is off from the other, say 2 deg vs 4? I dont know, just curious..

 

Not in my experience.

But, unequal caster can cause the truck to pull one direction.

Too little caster can and will cause the truck to wander in its lane.

To each their own. I used to work in a shop doing alignments. Caster is little understood and more important than most believe.

 

Pretty much what Phil said, it’ll just cause a pull.

 

Made a jack skid and instead of mounting it to the bed I’m continuing to enjoy having my bed space readily available when needed. Decided to use a bottle jack as an extender instead of making/buying something. Figured it was dual purpose.

 

How do you like the voswitch switch box?

 

no complaints so far, all the functions work like they should and the box is staying watertight under the hood. Been through multiple water crossing without fender liners if that says something haha

 

After work I installed my Budbilt gas tank bracket. I was able to reuse the rubber piece on the new bracket. The skid plate is primed, just need to paint it.

 

Yeah i had too low of caster on one of my FJs after installing TC ucas and it wandered like a sob.

 

They were changed @ some point

 

Looks so clean that way

 

I just changed this filter a couple of months ago i think

 

Damn, that's pretty hideous for a couple of months use! You work in a strip mine or...? Might wanna keep an eye on the AF too.

 

That is an awesome idea! Might have to copy this one
