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

Yeah, that's the biggest drawback.

 

they’re perfect to tow with, only planned on having for a little bit but ended up keeping em on and never flip em up they do the job just fine as they are

 

Transmission pan drain and refill. All went smooth. #onlyatfwsinthisbitch

 

yeah, never flip em up… looks goofy

 

Made a custom skid plate for my Tcase, managed to line up two of the rear holes and added rubber mounts to helps with vibes.
Also went and did a non snorkel Intake, just need to plug the old hole in the fender.

 

Hell yeah!!! #DIYFS gang !!!

 

Wired in my temp/compass/auto dimming mirror. Put a couple patches on the headliner.
Stuck some industrial Velcro to the windshield for my EZ-Pass.

 

You know it all too well!

 

Rotated my tires, now have to get them balanced!!

 

Hold up...

You mounted your skid plate to the transfer case?

So if you ever slam down on a rock the leveraged force will be sent into the aluminum case that you're trying to protect most likely cracking it, am I understanding that right?

 

Picked all this shit up today for $180, need a full rebuild but not bad still.



now I have a set of non resi fox 2.5 coilovers and resi rear shocks

and all the icon shit to decide between

 

That's a friggin steal even if it needs a rebuilt you hit gold.

How you manage that?

Also Icon fron shocks sketch me out, seen too many failures of the top mount, one of such in person and it was the revised design because the original failed regularly.

Can't say I've ever heard anything seriously bad about Fox, but running Fox I may be biased.

 

The guy posted them on a local site, said he either needed to sell them for $175 or toss them.


No other option, so I jumped on it.

Paid 180 cause I didn't wanna deal with getting a 5. I haven't looked up to see what is new yet, but I feel good

 

Paid it off.

 

Nothing special this weekend. Used it to transport us on an adventure and back. Achieved our scuba certification. Stopped for a celebratory lunch and saw a fellow enthusiast:

 

Engine/Trans will be putting alot of stress on those mounting points on the transfer case. You just tied the frame to all the movement of the engine, directly through the transfer case... DIY solid transmission mount anyone??

Not to mention if it took a hit like @Key-Rei mentioned above

 

I see what your sayin, And to relieve this i need to remove the two bolts inot the case. Then it has no contact with the tcase at all.

*edit Its pretty stout mounted to the custom cross member. Even with the two remover it will provide enough protection.

 

Oh dang I did not realized that the skid it’s attached to the t-case I’ll avoid that. That why mine it’s just secure to the x member and attached industrial rubber insulator in between my skid and t-case. My whole intention behind my design is to let it move and skid over shit instead of the t-case doing it on its own. At the end of the day I know you got this covered. Keep up the good work bro!

 

I did my front and rear diff fluid along with the transfer case.
