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

Wow that's a lot of work! Just thinking are the differentials and transfer case totally sealed? I had to replace a Jeep rear end playing in the river once upon a time.

 

My Truck lost some weight and gained a little back in the last few days.

No more Leer cap, now with a KB Vodoo Max bed rack (thanks to a tacomaworld member).

now to throw more stuff on the rack..

 

Wasn't in there for more than about 5 minutes and it ran the whole time, my rear diff breather has been extended into the rear bed cubby and was dry and my trans transfer and front diff breathers have all been extended up into the engine bay so bo worries there.

 

After publishing this on the Bilstein Settings for Dummies thread and then realizing it’s listed on the 3rd generation forum, I figured I’d repost it in this one:

Just got my setup with my Bilstein 5100s on all four corners. Set at the 3 notch in the front with no blocks nor leafs added to the rear. Also, I left the stock UCAs on and didn’t install a diff drop. Love the ride, especially driving at a pretty good clip along a power line road here ridden with rocks, sands, steep dips and trenches in the southern New Mexico desert! And she still rides smooth as butter on the interstate going 75 mph tracking straight as an arrow.

Before ^^^

 

Paper towel hanger is a must

 

One of my all time favorite mods.

 

Just need a disposable glove dispenser and you'll be dialed!

 

Don't have a dispenser but I do keep a bag of them in the trauma kit and another in the trail box.

 

Break job… now to bleed the breaks

 

Can you do stoppies with those?

 

I’ll tell ya once I get the spongy out of my pedal lol

 

OOF, I hope you didn't drain the rear half reservoir in the brake fluid reservoir and get air in your ABS block.

 

A lot of folks went white but green goes well with the green switches etc. def an easy one that adds a nice function

 

Nice setup. I just did the same with matching rears. Great color choice! Not sure when you ordered but took forever to get the Matte Black 6 Pistons

 

Did you zip tie the break line to the abs mount on the spindle? Mine is a little long and I don’t want my tire to rub it I was thinking about opening that metal clip for the abs line and secure it in there with it

 

I’ll snap a photo of see if I have one. Zip ties are def involved

 

I also likely have longer lines. Forgot which ones we used but I had ordered longer ones after but Same principle.

 

I installed LED lighting in the GFC today. I need to find a dimmer switch and a switch box to tidy this up and then I'll add some lighting to the tent level.

 

Primed, painted, and installed the CBI skids!!

 

Oh man. I’m jelly. My brakes are fine for me, but jeez that looks awesome.
