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

Your only going to lose half the difference in wheel height in clearance, the other half goes to raising the whole truck.

 

what were your symptoms before?

 

Haven't installed the fender yet. I'm hopefully doing that this weekend.

 

I loaded the bed rack, tent, and awning. Then packed the back end with camping stuff in prep for this weekend. Late to the camping party this year thinking I would have my trailer further along but first time out for the season.

 

Bought my 2013 a new gf!
2013 Toyota Camry SE , 1 local owner, 39k, 4cyl, no winters! My friend in town who owns an old school garage found it for me. He had been looking for a year. Now both can have a long lasting relationship together!
The happy couple.

 

I did the same thing last night. Headed out camping for the weekend after work. All I have to do is throw the fridge, battery pack, cloths and the gf into the truck and we are out! O and I'll place the pup nicely in the back seat.

 

Balanced and rotated tires after 5k (new tires) and had alignment done (previous alignment shops work was in question ) - Steering rack may need to be replaced, going to check bushing this weekend, when they would push up on the tie rods felt there was a lot of play? is this an inner tie rod issue or rack issue? they adjusted/added a little toe in to help compensate for the perceived play in the steering rack, until I can decide what I want/need to do.

 

Samesies but I put my fridge in for the first time last night. First time not using a cooler so Im Stoked!

 

Changed brake pads and rotors last night.

 

Redline Tuning hood struts were 20% off on Prime Day so I swapped out my tired 6-yr old ones for a new pair that actually lifts the hood again.

 

Dang wish I saw that. Another thing thats on my list to get.

 

My boss just surprised me with this bad ass bonus for not bitching about anything

 

I picked up a set. Now to get them installed.

 

You'll be kicking yourself that you didn't grab some sooner.

 

Did your boss steal the batteries?

 

lmao that's what I was thinking...

 

Yeah I was wondering why the security tag was still on it also. O well

 

How about a "what have you already done since you bought your truck just a few weeks ago"? I couldn't wait to get my hands dirty Pics of the day I bought it vs today.

New alternator and belt install today. Tech deck and RAM Mounts tomm. It's shaping up into a taco buffet this weekend.

 

I think the only time I miss it is when I have a lot of weight. When I am loaded for a trip with RTT etc, it feels really tippy. I just have to slow down more on curves.
