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

Changed oil at 181K. New brake pads hopefully tomorrow. In a middle of a move and new job so will follow up with my other maintenance once at my new place.

 

Opened a box... finally

 

Hello everybody. I just recently installed my FSR roof top tent on my prinsu cab rack. But since the tent is so long i dont like the over hang in the front I was thinking of purchasing a top rack for my canopy. Pros or cons or partially mounting my rtt on both racks?

 

A few more pictures from the snorkel install (on my build thread).

I run 255/85r16 BFG KM3's on stock offset rims and get no rubbing-front or rear. What is a spridertrax 1.25? I would check your alignment and start from there. 33's shouldn't be rubbing.

 

Threw another new set of Falken Wildpeak AT3s on. Was going to try some BFG KO2's but can't get them anywhere. This also happened today...

 

Are you running spacers with your FJ Trail Teams? Looking at getting this same wheel and trying to judge the offset

 

More pics of the FD!!!!!

 

Finally got around to doing a drain and fill on the transmission. Was actually surprised how clean the fluid was for being at 180k miles. Guess the previous owner had to of done it at some point. Replaced the drain plug, check plug and crush washers and finally put my RCI transmission and transfer skid on.

 

Installed dakars and icon shocks

 

nn
Reconditioned my headlamps and fog lights,,started with a light clay bar (secret) , followed by Mother’s chrome polish and a drill with a buffing attachment……..sealer.

Took a look at my spare, air and a little armor all……

 

U-bolt flip and shocks going in. Anyone else struggle with the rear? The front was waaaay easier for me. Extended lengths of the shocks make it a beast to get aligned with the lower shock mount

 

Towed/hauled/drove a ton... getting really good at backing up trailers. Really good. End results from this weekend:

 

You don't want to mount it on the bed and cab because they flex independently. I've been running mine on my shell for several years now with no issues, even when off-roading. You need to check the dynamic load rating on the shell and confirm that the combined weight of your RTT and rack doesn't exceed that.

I used a pry bar to compress the shock and get the lower mount lined up. If that doesn't work unbolt they front leaf spring mount so you can drop the axle a bit more.

 

Anyone recognize this? I think it's from the brake pedal area, can't be certain though. I was bleeding my brakes after installing braided lines and I found it on the floor under the pedal area. It's rubber.

 

1.25” wheel spacers..

 

Official campground guy now. Zion sticker at least +5 hp and +10 camping skill

 

bahahaha

 

I used a bottle jack to compress it, worked great!
