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

Freezer is usually- C which is a lot warmer than -F.

 

Did you use the bolts they supplied? I bought the same ones, but was wondering if they were the right size.

 

Mine didn't come with hardware. I had to look up the correct thread pitch online and source them from an online dealer

 

Hello everyone does anyone here has on there 2015 Tacoma 8112 bilstein shocks and the 8100 rear with trd beadlocks 16 oem beadlocks with a 1 inch lift?

 

Well this is very specific.

 

Until -40F/C.

 

Might find one or the other on a truck, but I doubt both.

 

Ordered my JBA hd UCAs. Been waiting a while to buy these, gonna paint them black though I can't do the red.

 

Out of the list of 4/5 he may find one or two but not all on the same truck. Id mainly look at the beadlocks and lift potentially as oppose to everything since not much varies other than pricing and ride quality.

 

Got me there

 

Yeah I was researching but unfortunately the bilstein 8100 rear don’t work with oe wheels on the Tacoma I do have the 8112 on the front and wanted to see if anyone has the 8100 with oe wheels not aftermarket wheels or spacers I want my truck to be as oem as possible

 

But now there’s two options for me is the king shocks or fox shocks for the rear using the oe wheel trd beadlocks with a 1 inch lift anyone has this setup ?

 

Never heard of a shock not working because of the wheels. What is the issue exactly?

 

Issue is backspace since the oe wheels are positive offset i spoked to bilstein customer service and they confirm to me that it is maximum of 4.5 backspace and the trd beadlock is 4.7 and it evens says on the I installation pdf that it won’t work with oe wheels on the rear

 

This is my setup I’m going
Front 1 inch lift (bilstein 8112 cr zone)
Rear 1 inch lift (fox or kings shocks )
1 inch ready lift cast iron block
Ez 980 spring helper hellwig
7731 hellwig sway bar
Trd beadlocks 16 oem

I tow/haul on my truck

 

ARB Diff Breather installed.

 

My truck just turned 125K miles and it's developed some hesitation lately. I noticed on the 120K maintenance recommendation to change the spark plugs, so following the outstanding write-up on this forum I tackled it today. After 1.5 hours I've replaced what had to be the original plugs (Denso on the passenger side, NGK on the driver side) for some new Densos. They were terrible - the gap on all of them had grown to over .064. No wonder it wasn't running great!

Now she's back on the road with good power and zero hesitation, and sounds like she's running more smoothly than she was. This forum is the first place I turn whenever I have Tacoma questions. Thanks to all who contribute!

 

That makes sense about the backspacing. Just never realized the shocks were that close to the wheel that it would make a difference. Without looking, if I had to guess, I'd say there was like 3-4 in clearance. Too cold too look now but I guess it's more like 1/4"-1/2" from what your saying.

 

Just get wheel spacers?

 

Forgot to post this last week, but I finally got around to getting rid of the silver accent pieces in the interior that I hated. Again followed a write-up on the page and used SEM paint for the parts. I think that's the easiest spray paint I've ever used, it was so forgiving and covered really well. The interior still catches my eye every time I get in the truck - it looks so much better, IMO.
