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

Dem bump stops doe!

I didn’t know those were made for truck coilovers

 

Anybody know if there are any bed racks that will sit even with Prinsu cab rack so I can mount my long ass RTT? If not I think I will buy a canopy and mount my tent on the Prinsu top rack on top of the canopy....

 

I'm sure there are some that are that tall but I know that Sherpa is making a adjustable bed rack that has their rack on it and would sit flush. I don't think its for sale yet. Still in testing.
But I will say having a dry secure place in the bed is the reason I bought a truck with a topper and it has held up to the weight of my RTT all year with no issues.

 

Just for the record, whatever you do, you want the RTT mounted about an inch higher than the cab rack, solely attached to the bed rack or camper shell or whatever. These trucks flex a lot. Meaning off road, rock crawling, washbordy roads, desert go fast, the bed will flex independently of the cab. And if you attach the tent to the cab and a bed rack, in those cases the twisting could wreck the tent. The bed can flex like an inch separate from the cab.


Here’s an example of the bed flex on mine without a tent. But you get the idea. Do not mount the tent to the cab and bed rack at the same time.

 

Yes sir. I saw your previous post as well with your tent and canopy. Looking good sir.

 

Sweet. Just trying to educate the masses. Learned all I know from this forum, so I pitch in when I can.

Now to figure out why my fucking 4wd won’t engage.

 

What am I looking at?

 

The front differential disconnect servo.

Instead of manual locking hubs this disconnects the two sides of the front diff when not in 4wd

 

Sweet

 

Same

 

Ah ok… thanks.

 

Start by checking the front diff disconnect actuator and the one on the t-case. The one at the front diff is more than likely the issue. If it does end up being the front actuator, I’d highly recommend going this route with an fj tcase

A word of caution for you: I installed mine yesterday morning and it was great all day. Hopped in the truck to head to work this morning and saw this. Super bummed We'll see what they say about it.

Did it just break? Or is that some distortion. Any change someone hit your mirror?

 

It's cracked all the way through. Low suspicion for someone hitting it since it' parked at the end of a long driveway on a cul-de-sac. Sudden temperature changes? I have no clue. But if they don't end up covering it, I like the overall idea so much I'll probably attempt to cut some mirrored glass it replace it myself.

 

That’s likely what I’ll end up doing. I’m not interested in replacing an actuator that costs almost what a whole FJ case does, especially when it can just fail again.

 

Put a coat of Pinnacle Black Label on the new wheels. Tires come in Monday. Can't wait!

 

Bummer . Hope they take care of it .

 

What a weird failure to have. Any other information you can provide? Ambient temp? Used the heaters? Did it crack while you were driving or while you were inside?

 

On my 3rd gen I had the RAV4 mirror glasses with built in spotters. I priced the new spotter mirrors and just couldn't justify the price as they are more expensive than the RAV4 mirrors I had. So I put the $5 a pair adjustable Wally Worlds on the 2008 and 2012. Same function with a ton of cash left in my pockets. You can actually buy adjustable long ones similar to the spots on the high dollar spotters for $11 a pair.
