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

Clazzio is best. Had in 3 Tacomas so far. Black are leather, grays are pvc. Same quality. The only thing leather is the center perforated section. Had black ones over 5 years and picture is from May 2021 when it was for sale. The pvc bolsters held up so good I went with all pvc for the 2 second gens. They were around $230 a pair for pvc. Look as good as factory leather.

lots of photos in this thread ^^^

there’s also a magnifying glass/search function at the top of the page that is helpful when looking for stuff on this website.

I’m running Toyo AT3’s due to weight savings over the Wildpeaks in this size. (I just ran them in a 275/60R16 flavor previously)

I’ll snap a photo of the truck with the Toyos later on!

 

What fluid did you use for the trans? Needing to service mine and I was planning on running Redline MT90 in it.

BFG 285x70x17 MT

 

I'm loving my Clazzio's, just installed them a couple months ago... it was either these for $550 or $1,500 Katskinz

 

I run Redline everywhere.
MT90 in the trans (GL4)
75W-85 for front diff & tcase
75W-140 for the rear end
It’s expensive but I’m happy with how it’s worked for the truck over the years.

 

And here I only been putting 75w90 in all my gear boxes.

 

75w-85 GL5 is what the manual calls for iirc.
The MT calls for GL4 (brass synchros)
I run 75w-140 in my rear end because I haul a slide in camper / tow a bit.

 

My memory is a little fuzzy on this, but I thought there was 3 different Toyota OEM bumper offerings where two of them were SR5 (color match or chrome) and the other non-SR5 was just a finished basic black color for the base models. Note, the color match SR5 is just e-coated (black) and requires paint.

 

Man I need to do this. Details please!

 

Used these guys here: https://www.vleds.com/pod-8-r-c.html

Had to drill two more holes into the fiberglass, just went slow and was careful so I didn't crack anything. Added some sealer and threaded them down nice and tight. Seems like everything will hold up well and they are much brighter

 

Anything special to get the old light out? My guess is it's just auto-tape holding it in place.

 

Changed the brakes


And added the sumo springs bump stops

 

Ya it was just foam tape. I used a plastic pry tool, then used goo gone to get the remaining tape off

 

When I put new roof rails on my topper I used a step bit. seems to make it a little easier and less likely to damage the fiberglass

 

Ya that definitely would have been better to use. I started out small and slowly moved up in bit size. I really need to pick up a stepped bit

 

Got these Morimotos installed. Big difference night and day. Leds vs. halogen.

 

Ugh that makes me even more excited and impatient…
