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

Picked up 3rd gen Off Road strut assemblies and rear shocks. Ordered a lean spacer. Hood and roof paint in 7 days with new drip mouldings. Then suspension work. Then hood struts I have had for 10 months (didn't want them to be in the way at body shop). I have no more plans after that except for swapping out original 2008 spare for a newer 4runner 265/70/17 spare with a new tpms.

 

does the drivers side of your deflector touch the top of the surround causing it to chip the paint? Also does it push down on the headlights when closed? I just tried installing one and that’s what mine is doing.

 

I returned it the day after installing it. I didn't like the look, fit, or finish.

 

Glad I got mine for free cause I’m feeling the same way.

 

@TexasWhiteIce Mine dont touch...they do have plastic inserts that you can use to raise and lower it.

 

I cannot say enough good things about the Morel set I picked up from Crutchfield. I did go with separates, installed the 6.5” in the stock door location (regular cab) but I surface mounted the tweeters on the kick panels. Two advantages to putting them there, better path length as well as closer proximity to the woofers for better sound stage cohesion. I also strongly recommend the Kicker Key amps, I used the auto-tuning set up and now run the EQ in the head unit flat. Coupled with the JL Audio powered sub box, the system is clean, clear and gets plenty loud.

 

hmmm, mine didn’t come with plastic inserts

 

Just had my first long distance drive after breaking in the new 4:88 gears.
Drove about 250kms to Princeton, BC for a big family get together over Canada Day weekend.
New gearing feels great, lots of acceleration in all the gears, even on hills... it's life in the slow lane on highways tho but that's OK, it's not a racecar lol.

 

@Blackie Mc Truckie CT-33...where was that pic taken?

 

How’d you mount the catch can to the fender?

 

first glance I thought that was an F-94…

 

could be but it doesnt look like the wing root is angled like the F-94..Ive been wrong in the past though...

 

its definitely a P/F-80 shooting star, may be a T-33.

 

looks like a single seater...so not a T-33...F-80 it is!

 

Removed the chrome tube steps. Much better!

 

so how about you? Did you notice any difference? People keep saying the truck feels planted after installing this. Lol just curious to hear your input

 

installed new sway bar end links...

 

Trimmed fender and fender flares for the 315/75r16 km3’s.

Thanks @greenEFSI!

 

Who makes those endlinks?
