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

Smaller diameter for more flex/twist

 

Picked up a set of 3rd Gen TRD OR suspension to swap my tired old set. It’s missing the nuts for the top of all the shocks though. Anyone know if the thread pitch is the same and I can reuse my current setup’s nuts?

 

I swapped mine and I can check an original 2008 nut on one of the studs on my 2022 mounted set tomorrow. In fact you can remove 1 nut and try it. Won't hurt anything to do that. They come off easy enough and don't require much torque to put back on. I would bet money they are identical nuts.

 

Option 2? Are they like adjustable like a 5100 strut?

 

I’m running out of gas & the gauge says I have gas… did you have that issue?

 

The trd sway bar is actually a lot smaller diameter. The sport one was substantially larger in diameter.

 

Absolutely. That was the issue my man.

 

The RXT leaf pack comes with an extra leaf that can be left out, swapped, or added to it so you get 3 different lift/weight options

Boring but necessary maintenance, oil change with Castrol synthetic. Next weekend my truck is getting new shoes, Maxxis Razr ATs.

 

Not quite broken in, right? I am the 2nd owner of this 2015.

 

Great color combo. Awesome look.

 

great use of cardstock!

 

Love that Bob Marley banner/flag ! Oh - and the truck is nice too

 

Got the aux battery mounted

 

New wheel bearings for the single cab today.

Driver side started making noise months ago but I kept ignoring it , parts have been sitting at my shed for a couple weeks and since I'm off I decided to tackle that, way easier than expected.

I'd say they were the oem ones? Hard to believe because this thing has 229k but idk, passenger side was in perfect condition and you can tell was replaced, most likely before selling the truck so about 11k miles ago.

And yes, I need to do my yard

 

School teacher wives ROCK their community and impact so many lives. (Yes, I am also married to one).

 

Replaced the foggy headlights and now she looks brand new again!

 

Question about your awning mount, do you have it attached to both the roof rack and the rack on your cap? I'm going to put my cap back on and I have a 6ft awning. Once I build a rack for the cap I was debating on attaching my awning to both front and back racks.

 

Great weekend at Pott’s with @EatSleepTacos and others.

 

Went to replace the lower control arm on my driver side, after having a squeak for awhile that I thought was coming from the LCA itself, only to find that it’s the bushing/ball joint on my Icon coil overs that’s wore the f out.

At least I’ve got the LCA’s on hand now for when I need them, but buying $250 worth of parts when I only needed $60 worth was another good thing to learn. What’s sad is I should’ve caught it already, as I had already identified that particular spot as the squeak point.
