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

I haven’t messed with it yet, but it may just be a bracket you’d need.
I’m putting a 21 frame under my 07. I should know soon once my body mounts come in

 

Has anyone had their CV boots replaced? What did it cost?

 

I did mine my self. With a rebuild kit.

It doesn't make any sense to me. They wouldn't let me stay at any of the RV campgrounds either even though you could tent camp in any of those as well.

 

Changed my front and rear diff oil. The front drain plug had already been blown out by the PO so I fixed it by TIGing on an impact socket that I cut in half. Should come out easy moving forward.

 

That's what I'm talking about!!!

 

First run with the new rear (Chevy 63) lift and 35's

 

Did you use a kit or just fab the parts?

 

Used the low range kit. But 5" shackles. The fab guy made the rear spring mount out of steel he had. I got a longer anti wrap spring perch from Barnes off road, also helps for correcting pinion angles. At the same time I did a bamf shock relocation kit, and some 12" travel shocks

 

I’m planning on it

 

Been intentionally driving in the snow the past couple days since moving to MN about a week and a half ago… Some of y’all made me very worried about having a PreRunner but honestly my truck has been doing great and it’s been a huge confidence boost (even in the start of this blizzard). It’s doing even better than my wife’s FWD crossover.

 

Update on my damage rebuild:

Just found out I won’t be going out of pocket for my new ARB bumper. After hitting a deer and asking my bodyshop to order me an ARB (fully expecting to pay for it over my insurance paid costs or at least a fraction of…) they just informed me that all I’ll owe them outside of my insurance check is my $150 deductible. And o yeah, that includes new OEM 15 Pro headlights as well as a new OEM 15 Pro grill.

 

Major win for sure dude!

 

Be prepared to lose some height. I needed 14" 700# springs on my coils. After I lost 1.25" (with winch) on my icons with the stock spring

 

I went and snapped some pics of my newly built rear bumper and bed cage built by @Mynameisbrandin w/4LoFab in New Braunfels, TX. Really dig how he worked his magic!

 

Good call, I was expecting a bit of a loss. I do have a relatively new 3rd Gen Sport suspension on her. Im fairly confident 3rd Gens have a slightly higher spring rate than 2nd gens so I’m hoping it helps to compensate, even if it’s just a wee bit.

 

4wd helps a lot but these trucks are also beasts in the snow. I hardly ever use 4wd in the snow here. Only time I do is when I feel rowdy and want to bust threw a snow bank or do some 4wheel drifts.

 

I have a kit sitting on my shelf if you want it I can send it out.

 

This will be a job for someone else, not me! Thank you though!

 

That is why its sitting there. I bought it, looked into doing it and decided to just buy a new one lol Another option is just order a new one from CVJ and send your blown out one back to them. Swapping the axel is easy rebuilding not as easy.
