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

How did it do? Looking to get one myself. Also which size is it? Thanks

 

It's the 1000. It's been on for 2 days (I did turn it off overnight last night) and down to about 65%. I'm going to leave it on overnight (I didn't realize you're supposed to discharge them every few months) so I'll run it down to empty and plug it in. My sdhq terminals will be here Thursday, and then the AGM can go it, I have a 100w solar panel to install, might just get a second one, and run the fridge off the AGM and use the solar to keep it topped off.

The Jackery is fine for me, I got it from a friend that liked the Goal Zero stuff better because you could stack them on each other, stupid handle is in the way on the Jackery, and the new Goal Zeros have a ton of cool features. Is it worth $1000? Idk. You could buy 2 AGM for that and have more capacity, but I'm using this for other stuff too and didn't want to do an inverter.

 

I appreciate the response. Looking to get one myself and can’t decide which one is best.

 

Depends on how much you want to spend and what it's for. The Goal Zero 1500x has remote monitoring with power output, etc, so if you're using it to backup your house or other things, you'll be able to monitor it from anywhere. Plus it has a 2000w inverter which will power most hand tools even. If you're like me and just need decent wattage and a significant amount of it, the Jackery is great. It also has 1 more AC outlet than the GZ

 

Nice! I’m with express so it’s usually envelopes and Nike boxes

 

Just had the driveshaft, u-joints, and carrier bearing replaced under warranty at the dealership. She rolls nice and smooth again!

 

Nice, really just 1 to 2 night camping trip is all me and the family will do so probably don’t need one quite that size.

 

It’s definitely sturdy. It’s 1/4” aluminum , but the front and back edges on center section were put thru a press brake to keep it rigid. The 2nd gen Tacoma’s already have threaded holes for handles, so it bolts in tight.

 

Bought these lights a bit ago. Really like the look. eBay specials the same exact ones that they sell on Tacomabeast and Carid but cheaper.

 

Did you find that the wheel spacers helped with fitting the 285s? I have 5100s with OME 2887s, and my 275/70r17 Falken Wildpeaks are rubbing on me. I have the same FN wheels.

 

Took her out camping. Also really wanting to pull the trigger on a prinsu

 

Installed my SPC upper control arms and 1/2” headstrong offroad top plate spacers. Just got the truck back from alignment it feels like a completely different vehicle. Should’ve done SPC‘s from day one had I known better!! 78,500 miles purchased with 7 all stock! Time for some new wheels and tires

 

Replaced brake pads today. Also found out I need a caliper. So I ordered that

 

What brand brakes are those?

 

Oem calipers, powerstop dimpled and slotted rotors. I just put in Hawk LTS pads

 

Got the wheels and tires installed today.
Tires are 265/75r16 toyo open country at3s 10ply.
Wheels are race line 931b injectors. 16”x8”,
“0” offset. They stick out maybe 1/2 past the fenders. I’m not really a offset guy. But Ideally should have a went -6. But I’m happy and will run these. Didn’t install the hubcaps because they’re the big obnoxious looking ones. Will paint the middles black soon. All said and done this setup was 1865 out the door.

 

Man, I want to say I got them from siraweb dot com .. not certain though

 

Totally threw me off looking at that lol. Looks like my 02’ super duty tail lights!

 

Killer wheels!

 

All done. Needs a little more tuning time, and for the sub to break in, but overall it sounds smooth.
