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

joined………

The 100k club!! She’s finally broken in, now time to add more upgrades!!

 

I was gonna get some 1/4" ers but will probably get 3/4

what'd you get?

 

Spidertrax 1.25. A buddy of mine is running them. No rub after he installed them.

 

Wonder how much tire poke that gives you, I hate throwing mud everywhere haha, like to keep that in the wheel well

 

Your stock lug stud length is right about 3/4", I wouldn't run any of the "slip-on" spacers (1/8" through 3/4") as you lose a ton of thread engagement. 1" and above will have their own studs in them and are significantly more secure.

 

I see, makes sense.

really don't think the runs gonna hurt anything besides my feelings, but don't really wanna risk it with new tires

 

I'm a mall crawler for the most part with some occasional easy wheelin' and camping. Not terribly concerned about mud but hey it gives me a good excuse to buy a detail kit and pressure washer!

 

I just rock forest roads mostly, but mud is mud, it goes everywhere anyway but whatever helps

 

I have a set of 3/4" spacers from Bora. I think they would be the shortest ones you could run.

 

Does anybody have an extra OEM foam filter from the SAI unit in the 1gr-fe? I upgraded to the uni filter, but I'm also still under and extended warranty, and just got the code for the valve being stuck and can't seem to find a part number. If somebody else has upgraded and has one laying around I'd be forever grateful! I'd also post in the buy/sell but I haven't hit the required posts yet due to being a newer member

 

Well worth it I can def tell the difference in breaking power already!

 

New Hooke road tailgate panel:

Before:

 

Have you replaced the lower shock bushings?

 

Where do you live?

 

Applied a coat of Meguiar’s Ceramic Detailer

 

Auto up and down window switches have shown up. Wondering now if I should have just ordered green to match everything else.

One thing I will say is the lighting on them is perfect. They're not overpowering/too bright.

 

Looks great!!

What bed rack are you running and is that a special mount for the spare tire?

 

The what now? Shouldn't have that been theoretically replaced with one of my new things?

 

Really the only hard part was getting the rusty bolts out. My truck is a 2006 and is pretty rusty underneath; if yours is newer and not in the rustbelt then it might not have the rust issues. I took the nuts off all 4 body bolts then did 1 side at a time. It's a little scary jacking up the body enough to get the bushing bolts/plates out and replaced but it went pretty smoothly. I bought the universal set but I'll probably use the smaller ones that came with the kit. Follow this link for a great writeup on this forum.
