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

Where they extended length springs? What is the projected total front lift expected to be?

 

The T4R will fit. Unsure on the Tundra.

 

No. They are just 700# vs the 600# they come with.
Going for 2.5" to 2.75".

 

Picked up my smittybilt gen 2 xl RTT from 4 wheel parts. Super excited to get it home and unpackaged/mounted! Hopefully nothing inside is damaged from the look of the box it came in...

 

Thats what my box looked like when the guy rolled it off the truck. Fingers crossed its not damaged, its an exciting day for sure.

 

I had to remove my RCI skid when I did my oil change this past weekend. I have a 4 cyl. and removing the oil filter would've made a mess if the skid plate was in the way.

 

Bro! For like seven seconds you made me second guess what I drained and filled! Ha!

 

HA! This reminds me of a problem I had with my very first car, a 1977 Toyota pickup. The front bumper was bent all to hell so I got an aluminum bumper from I think a Volkswagen and made it fit. I installed "fog/driving" lights to it and no matter what I did, they wouldn't work.
I didn't know at the time that you couldn't use an aluminum bumper as ground, I was only running power to the lights and couldn't figure out why the lights didn't work.

 

looks great, i’m going to need to sand and clearcoat mine soon. thanks for the info on the sandpaper

 

I finally got these puppies on. I know I know. They aren’t the 2.5’s but they will be plenty for me and I’m excited just for the upgrade. I also added the wheelers superbumps.

 

yikes... How did it end up looking?

 

Did some customization on the new Taco! Started out with trying my hand at some vinyl wrapping to do away with the silver in the cab. It was a good starter lesson for sure, and I only wasted half of the 1’x5’ strip lol.

Swapped out the TRD Sport logo with some custom Rick and Morty themed decals from an Etsy seller. Probably very few people will understand it, but I love it.

Finished off applying plasti-dip to the emblems to take the chrome off.

Loving this truck more and more every day.

 

Mounted up my DIY power tank CO2 setup.
Some people have asked why I went with such a big mount but I wanted to be able to use the tank with it mounted in the truck, and I wanted it to fit under the tonneau cover, this mount checks both boxes. Should make airing up really quick and easy.

here it is nicely under the tonneau cover

This is all that’s left when I remove the angled mount so I can easily set something on top of it if I need the extra room.

 

Took mine to the dealer to get checked out for a P0500 code. Hoping it would be a cluster issue at the worst, they came back with $4500 to replace a faulty ECU wiring harness!

 

You’ll likely need new bushings. If you call SPC they’ll send you new ones. It’s a bit of a hassle & headache but they’ll refund the core charge

 

The Pickle Rick episode was probably their best work yet. although i havent been keeping up with it since the last two years because my wife doesnt like watching it. she thinks its dumb....i guess it is kind of dumb humor, but damnit its funny

 

Picked up half a yard of top soil

 

Nice! I was looking at this exact one. Can you post a couple more shots of the grill? How was the install? Take a long time?

 

I get a good laugh out of a bunch of it. I kind of got ruined with dark humor between the Navy and work so it’s the prime reason I love it.

 

awesome! thanks and glad to hear they're good quality
