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

Picked up a new bumper for my 99’ c5 corvette after I did a 360 on the highway and ended up in a ditch against a chain link fence. Here are some pics.

 

Don't like. But you got pretty lucky.

 

what even is that line for? is that a remote breather for the locking rear axle? My trd sport doesn't have it, just a breather port on the center section that I relocated up higher.

 

I think thats what it is..

i did the normal breather extension, but i guess first time seeing that hanging

 

Just had Bilstein 5100’s installed, 2 1/2” lift in front, 1” blocks in back. Still has stock size tires (265/65/17) on it, I’ll go with something taller when I wear these out.

Going to be upgrading the stereo this weekend.

 

Lift looks good.
If you don't mind can you please post some feed back on the low profile subwoofer.

 

I'd also like to know about the low pro sub.

 

Painted the ugly silver plastic

 

Raised the front end a bit today. The rears were at 10.5" from the top of tire to the fender. Fronts were just over 7" before. They are at about 8.5" now. Had a little too much rake for my liking.

Also, the driver side lower shock mount was squeaking like crazy. The spherical bearing itself was rusted out and dry. I Ended up hitting it with a bunch of pb blaster to clean it up. Added some grease which stopped the squeak. Hopefully it holds up for a bit.

After

 

Finally got my Rugged Trail/Baja wheels swapped out!

 

Installed a TRD style round knob. Not sure how I feel about it.

 

Fender trimming looks good. I'm getting ready to do it to my truck this weekend. A bit nervous taking a saw to the truck.

 

Where did you get the winch bumper? I like the style of this one

 

Thanks! Not too bad. Jigsaw for fenders and dremel for flares worked best for me. Just make sure you use touch up paint or whatever on the flares so they don't rust

 

How much did you remove? I'm still on the fence.

 

I did 3" up from and about 2.75 rear. Maybe start with like 2.25-2.5. I can send you a thread that helped me out a lot

 

did you use just normal krylon black plastic paint? or did you do anything special? I have been wanting to black everything out but havent bit the bullet

 

Scuffed the hell out of it with scotchbrite, hit it with some primer ok for plastic and krylon flat black

 

Where’d you get your shift knob that’s sweet?

 

Man your truck is one of my favorites on the site. Its exactly how I want mine to look.
