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

3.5 axles built, calipers painted.

 

When I had my stocks I did the 886 fog light bulb upgrade and they were actually pretty nice but now Im thinking I might have to go a route like that.

 

New flashlight for the truck. 12000 Lumens to rival my own high beams

 

The noise is small cooling fans for the LEDs

 

I’m no expert, but if they are both 6 lug I would think you should be good. 5 lugs have a spring under axle and 6 lugs are spring over.

 

Yup, just checked em, backup lights are garbage for actually throwing light. Definitely just an indicator that your moving in reverse. Aux light required.

Interesting. Wouldn't think those would get hot enough to require a fan while moving.

 

They suck. That's why I have Diode Dynamics pods in the rear

 

I had to cut both of mine out..... PITA

 

Did you top off your blinker fluid when you installed the new lights?

 

My truck is 5 lugs the replacement diff housing comes from a 6 lug .
I'm not gonna change the whole diff just the housing , keeping the axel, same ratio and gears just swapping the diff shell .

 

Finally got 3 new U joints installed but the labor alone was $400.

Does that seem like a steep price for labor these days? Was expecting to pay half that. ‍

 

Don't forget that new LED lights use "synthetic blend" blinker fluid

 

Where is it leaking from? Would it not be easier to fix the leak, or is the housing cracked?

 

@e_rock sounds about right...maybe a tad high, but not sure where you live.

 

The problem with this product is that it does not specify per-side. When you allow for that, it is only 5K per-side. I have used a lot of this stuff. Ask me how I know

 

working on clearance

 

Added forward camera

 

I'm about to do mine tonight.
