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

Replaced front rotors and pads.
Top is resurfaced EBC rotor; bottom is outgoing resurfaced OEM rotor with about 117K miles, 73K original miles and 44.5K on resurfaced miles. They could have gone another 20K with the slight vibrations they exhibit but I needed new pads and decided to resurface the EBC rotors, which had 72K before the resurfacing. Hope to get 50K out of them.

 

It’s not the lean spacer causing problems. The coil/strut combo is just too much lift for the factory UCA.
Many people here run that set up with the factory UCAs though.

 

Very excited to see this. I’ve loved those wheels ever since they came out.

 

I'm assuming you just push it between the windshield and dash board (the defrost area) with the peckerhead down? So pushing on the wider part...

 

Ouch

 

Damn what situation bent the lower like that? I might try to weld in some reinforcement around that area now that I’ve seen this.

 

meh

 

I discovered my trim piece had cracked as well. Can you provide a link/price/info/part number for the piece you replaced?

I also just ordered a second switch. For some reason I thought my 2014 had green interior lights. Nope, has white. Thought I could live with green lights but I cannot. I will be selling the green lighted switch bank once the new one comes in and I replace it.....sigh.

 

Negative, removed the spacer and everything is working as it should. Clearance between factory UCA and coil is a little over 1/4” at full droop. Alignment is good as well.

 

They look flat to me .

 

That is correct. They suggest using a crowbar...

 

Does this actually reduce any noise ?

 

A crowbar eh? Yeaaaaa, I dunno about all that . Maybe a trim "crowbar"...plastic deal for taking out switches and shit.

 

Me too, the wheels are Dirty life and I am really happy with them. We had the powdercoater shoot them in rootbeer, rings will be machined

 

Not sure, I have some coming in tomorrow. I get a weird rattle between the dash and windshield so I'm hoping this will help.

 

I'm guessing just use over time. I always checked and greased the ball joint. Never seen it fail from there....The good news it let go like that as I was backing into the garage and not on the freeway I was just on 2 minutes earlier.

 

Ah okay I glanced and thought they were the new method beadlocks. Still sick though.

 

Crazy, I wonder if seized up bushings had anything to do with it. Did you have to cut the cam bolts out or were they seized at all?

 

I have around 2 inch lift. I never did a before and after measurement but it's with the eibach 2.0 coilovers at the height they are set at from the factory. Plus a sso bumper, winch, and sliders. I plan to add skids soon too. But currently my alignment is causing my tires to chop and roar. They are 265 7516. I have a set of 285 75 16 with -25 off set FN WHEELS. do you think going with ucas like dirt king or camburg will help my situation?

 

Way cheaper than Methods
