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

Only use LEDs on empty roads?

I know Indianas a bit behind in the common sense game but damn.

 

No but you're using floods as driving lights/fogs. There's no cutoff to discern, based on the blast of light in the picture. Who knows what it looks like up close, but fog lights shouldn't be above the level of the bottom of your headlights. They're only made to cover that space prior to your headlight's reach.

 

I’m not using them as fogs, They’ll be used the same as brights, when there’s no one on the road in front of me or coming at me.

 

Oh, I wasn't making a complaint per se, I was just noting their location and the idea behind using that location. But good for you, that's very thoughtful.

 

theyll be really sad when I get the rest of them like the other truck

 

I think you have to register cannons in Indiana.

 

I installed a dobinson snorkel on my 2015 taco... its hooked up to a volant intake system. It installs the same way as it would to the stock intake!

 

Mine is exactly the same. I did add the filter rain sock over the high flow K&N style filter as an added precaution. I don’t reverse my snorkel head and my Volant air box attachment bolts are rubber sealed.

additionally, I deleted the ram air scoop and capped off the hole with a rubber cap.

 

I went with TRQ shoes and drums and ACDelco spring kit. I know TRQ gets a "mediocre" rap but I've never had a problem with the parts I've used (mostly for our Honda vehicles), and I'm 95% street, 5% light off-road. First side is done (with help from youngest daughter!)...



Has my sense of humor but better spatial relations and patience!

 

Installed an OME carrier bearing drop kit. It wasn't a cure all...but much improved.

 

Blacked out 3rd Brake Light



WETSU Sticker..

 

So a few months ago my water pump was leaking out of the weep hole. Before I got it replaced it must of got an air pocket and blew the head gaskets. So I just dropped it off at the Machine shop to get it rebuilt. I’m doing cosmic head gaskets ARP head studs instead of head bolts and Urd cam gears. Will be ordering the dual core radiator if I have money left over.

Other part that I want is a Fumo oil drain valve. Cold air intake. Cat back exhaust.

 

now next get an angle finder and measure angles of both pieces of the drive shaft and its angle on the rear axle. most likely you rear portion of the shaft is on a greater angle to the axle than the front axle is to the rear axle. once you measure how far off they are that is the angle of shim you get to rotate the rear axle slightly to make them a little more inline.

Or throw in the towel and get a 1 piece drive shaft.

 

Wow looks good. How is the headlight output on the road? Hows the quality?

 

Nice SWB and I see your also in Illinois

 

Geez not another freakin ugly blue Taco. Nice. Love the lift. Hoping for a cool day to install struts, springs and a lean spacer on mine. Got a big azz air conditioned garage but not enough room to get my truck inside. Need to do some serious delayed spring cleaning. Machine shop takes up half of it and the lawn and garden crap takes the other half.

UPDATE: after working a solid 2 days, since wife left Saturday at 3:30 am for the Florida place, I have filled up 3 huge city trash cans and am still only 1/3 the way of getting my truck in the garage. Need more trash cans. I am determined to get my truck in this a/c to do my Spiker hood struts and my 3rd gen suspension swap. Maybe by the end of the week.

 

Finally mounted these reservoirs. 2 years later

 

This was about a week ago, but I threw on some 35s. Ignored the endless debates about them and just did it. Zero rub, for some reason it also cruises 70 at a lower rpm than it did on 33s.
