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

Good looking truck been thinking about getting a softopper to replace my hard shell and this is just further convincing me

 

New Summit Dakars and 35" Baja Boss AT tires.

 

why?

 

Mostly to shed some weight, and honestly I don’t use the roof rack and even tho it’s nice to be able to lock stuff in the back I never have anything of value in the bed that often. Like I said still contemplating it. If I can find a used one I’ll probably grab it and keep the hard shell just so I could have the option to switch between the two.

 

200w of semi flexible solar panels attached to my canopy. Battery is really happy now.

 

How attached?

 

Glue and screws. The things I do to my canopy would make some people cry

 

Citrus, Florida. I did throw some mud on the truck to make her look well used.

 

That beats the tree nuts I found in mine!

 

NO way?! I thought every truck had an air filter? Possum was standard in the SBDC.

 

Seeing that the OEM headlight bulbs worked I'd figured I'll save them. I have a set of spare OEM headlamps (that I'm trying to sell) I pulled out the bulbs that were in the lights (not sure what they are) and put in the OEM bulbs. Well I did that and had a look at the bulbs I pulled out. They say Osram Bilux 64193, doing some googling now.

Edit: they are Sylvania Silverstar Ultra bulbs. I'm going to see if they work and try them tonight.

@bebo_junker and everyone else, FYI Possums very VERY rarely carry rabies as their body temp is so low, the virus cant manifest in their system! And like others have said, theyre great for ticks and other pests, we encourage them around our place along with the skunks!! and as you have found out, the like warm, small spaces to curl up into.

 

man..wish we had sloths..

 

Ordered a matching Toyo open country III 265/75/16 spare and a matching Dick cepek dc-2 wheel.

I have a 2.5” ome lift that rides good.

will adding 142lbs then a tire that’s probably 40 and a rim that’s 20 lbs change the ride a lot? About 200 lbs in the back. I don’t drive with anyone it’s just me

I got this bumper with a jerry can.

for those of you that installed one can you give me some tips. I’ve done bumpers on wranglers but those are easy.

Little update

 

Upgraded my headlights, again.

 

Finally got the rear leafs changed out with some 3rd gen take offs with an aal added.
On a scale of 1-10 the ride quality improvement is a 10 and I was amazed at how much the rear of the truck was sagging before. Nice to have the stance back. 1.75” in the front. 1.5” in the rear.




Old leafs were shot and cracked in multiple locations.
