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

wait a second you can get a "switch blade" fob for a second gen??

 

Yeah, sure can lol

 

Might be worth your time to see if he'd replace something like that. It can't be that old where it would just start to decay.

 

Finally got to install my ICON RXT Leaf packs, Archive Garage Hammer Hangers, and Crown Extended brake lines.

The ICON RXT's gave me a solid 0.4" over my former 2" lift (stock leafs + HS progressive 3 leaf + overload). I went with Option 2. Honestly it's hardly visually noticeable and I wasn't going for any more lift. It's also probably going to settle some.

The Hammer Hangers of course took the longest to install, but thanks to Archive's thread and @EatSleepTacos tips, it was a simple enough task. I wish I had a plasma cutter like Randy, but I made do with an angle grinder . Also, the ball joint press worked great for 5 of the 8 rivets.

@ARCHIVE Garage probably had the best packing I've seen in a while for their hanger shipment to me. Thank you for that.

Extended Brake Lines purchased from Headstrong Offroad. Fast shipping as usual.

For now, I'm reserving my thoughts on the setup until I have a chance to take it off road. Otherwise, I still have a very slight vibe in my DS on takeoff (unchanged from prior), but nothing I care to address at the moment.

 

So far good, think it’s been well over a year and no issues.

Yes sir!

 

Where does one obtain that key fob?

 

Installed some super spring Sumo. 2012 pre runner. Does ride a bit stiffer, but to me a more stable ride. Will see how they do once I put a load on it.

THATS......... what she said

 

Fix it up don't total it. It's fixable

 

Sure it’s fixable if you wanna drop a new frame in it. The left front frame rail is back about 10 inches no way to fix that. I wouldn’t even have to write an estimate on that I just total it and be done.

 

Installed a slimline bumper, opened, cleaned and resealed pass headlight. Relocated s/c coolant pump to make room for a winch

 

It was time for new tires, so I found some 3rd gen wheels for cheap to toss on there while swapping already. Old wheels were plastidipped black about 5years ago and looked really tired. Started getting quotes to powdercoat them and ended up just getting the 3rd gen wheels for less than powdercoat.

 

Got my truck back. Broke the rear end. Went with a rebuild. Didn't opt for a re gear, however I did go for an after market LSD. After driving compact cars and such. I feel like I'm driving a monster truck

 

Today I replaced my struts, mounts, and shocks. Also installed a Pro-Comp leveling kit with and add a leaf.

 

Which LSD did you go with?

 

I hate to sound like this, but I didn't ask for details. I do know it's a clutch mechanism. I'll have to go back and ask, however I do trust I got what I paid for.

 

Where did you guys order from?

 

Where’d you get that bumper from? looks killer

 

2014 Tacoma SR5 Double Cab..... removed nerf bars, Tinted windows all the way around, just purchased 3.5" Suspension Lift, 285/70/17 Falken WildCat A/T's, Raceline 17x9 with 0 OffSet

 

My truck has a factory limited slip and I gotta say it's the best functioning limited slip I've ever owned as it's really quick to realize the other rear tire is slipping.
