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

Just left HF. The website says it’s in stock but they don’t have any and the person said nobody in CT has them. They’re expecting some Tuesday.

 

The truck is original including the drivetrain.

 

That's what I ran into

 

Just installed the A/C kit from @Vorra65. I'm happy with it and it didnt take all that long to install. I did a little write up on it also since it was originally intended for 3rd gens. I would recomend it if your looking for a nice and easy kit.

 

smooth it up with a file and try the next size down 6 point socket on it

 

Finally brought her home from major surgery (frame replacement).

 

Soon to join the 35” tire club…

 

Busy week! Bumper got installed, winch plate fab'ed and new tire mount...







Oh, and I got my rock slider plates cut and bent... now for the tubing!

 

So you only did the front door windows and not the back side windows, looks like they match up pretty well.

 

That thing is gonna set records in the shin bashing department

 

So I installed 2021 TRD OR suspension on my 2006 AC last weekend. Drove about 20 miles on it today for the first time. Heard a noise from the front, checked it and realized I forgot to tighten my sway bar brackets all the way. So I tightened them up and then I notice something. My sway bar is touching the bottom of my shock on the front driver strut. I checked the passenger side and there is probably a millimeter of space on that side. What's the recommended fix for this?

 

Did you install the coils on the correct sides? They are side-specific.

 

I knew this, but now I can't remember if we double checked. Oh boy...

 

Take it out

 

Or you could take the sway bar off until you have time to swap the shocks around, you might actually like it without it on.

 

Not saying that is the cure but that is where I would look first before taking things apart. I can't remember if the red dot is on the drivers side or passengers side, and if I remember correctly the dots face the front for the correct orientation. There is a whole thread on here that details the procedure. I put a 2019 on my 2009 with no issues.

Or you could just delete the sway bar like others have said. The side-specific was to correct the Taco lean I believe.

 

Alpharex headlights and sport hood

 

Would the swaybar spacer work for this?
