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

Which Bilsteins were you running?

 

After sitting for a six month deployment my baby started right up. So today I have driven my second gen. It should be noted someone was supposed to start up my truck while I was gone but they didn’t.

 

Rxts ride amazing

 

Installed my suspension upgrade last weekend:
Bilstein 6112s, 600# springs, 4th clip
Bilstein 5160s
Icon RXTs option 1

Got mild vibes from the front diff, ECGS is installing the bushing for me on Monday.

Left UCAs stock, no issues with alignment after the install.

No issues with vibes in the drive line from raising the rear.

About 2.25” all around which I expect to settle.

Truck needs a wash but man do I love the way she rides now.

 

Someone needs a talking to.

 

Did mine too! Love it so far! Very convenient, especially with the wireless CarPlay in my Dasaita HU.

 

What did all this run you! I’d love to get a smoother ride in my truck.

 

It was around $2K for the components.

 

I did a thing. Got the spring perches welded on. This thing is a beast. SAS project on the Suburban. Corporate 14 bolt for the rear, Dana 60 up front.

 

Is

That's a great feeling

NO MORE TRUCK PAYMENT

 

How do you like the 6112? Is the ride on the stiff side?

 

Not stiff at all. Firm, feel nice and planted in turns and while braking, but not stiff. They soak up potholes and speed bumps and such. Can’t wait to get this setup on the trails.

 

Thank you for your willingness to serve

Our world is a better place because of people like yourself

 

I'm half way threw taking out my interior. Rear is all out and I am about to take out the front seats and I saw I have two connectors to detach. One is yellow for airbag and the other is seat occupancy sensor. Is there anything special I need to know about undoing to connectors or reattaching? I saw a thread about 3rd gens and something about the seat needing to be reprogramed? Please tell me we don't have do deal with that crap!

 

Nah your good

 

I have a 2015 and when I removed the front seats to add sound deadening I just disconnected the connectors and when I was ready to put back the seats I reconnected them and I had no idiot lights come on. You should be fine.

 

Thank you!

 

Okay update time! Last night after work. Removed old "factory" cross bars. (they killed my paint FYI)
Naked!
Installed Sherpa Grand Teton.
Marker light was out so I replaced both with new LEDs
Today: Spotter Mirrors. I'll be wiring for heat later this summer.

PCV Valve

And now Interior is almost out. Time for a beer break before getting the center and carpet out.
Sorry not sorry for long post and pics. I am actually remembering to document what I do.

 

Got her paid off finally and celebrated with some paracord grab handles.

 

Oil change and pressure washed all the winter scum off the undercarriage with this handy thing
