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

Got my JBA UCAs installed today and the truck aligned. Ignore the before numbers because they were way off from the UCAs just being put on. The before numbers prior to the install weren't nearly that bad. The alignment itself is dialed in really good and the ride is sooooooo much better now. The bump steer that I had especially at higher speeds is gone and the steering is very stable now. Definitely happy that I decided to finally get these.

 

Ahh yeah, single cab life. I just throw it all in the back seat so I don't see it

Hang in there man.

 

Mister Red 13: what do you think of the distance ? I'm still struggling to love these things. I've adjusted the heck out of them and they just don't seem to throw that far. Perhaps I shouldn't have put 135 watt bulbs in for my high beams. Those things throw pretty darn far. I've been getting used to the KC's. It's hard not to love how they look on the truck, but functionally I really do wish they threw light further and didn't put as much glare on the road in the foreground. I know this is going to seem like a really stupid question, but does adding more lights help with the distance?

My intuition tells me no.

 

Got a few more nights camping in with the family.
Also my AC blower only runs on high again. So I'll replace that cable this weekend.

I'm considering a 270 awning with a room with a floor but I'm not finding much. Anyone have one?

 

How do you like the Ryobi fan? Would you buy another if that one quit working?

 

I to wish they tossed light a little further. I had a set of hella 500 lights that I retro fitted some HIDS in and they by far out shined these. I dont think more lights add any distance but lights up more area so its not so concentrated. If sitting in the center of the road, my middle lights are angled just inside the white lines and the outer lights are angled a whisker past the white line. Light bar makes up for everything in between.

 

Absolutely! It's great for the awning room as well as the wedge camper. I use it all the time. Factory Tools Direct has them on 40% off frequently!

 

Busy couple of days, some much needed maintenance and a few 3D printed projects I've been prototyping.

• Replaced spark plugs (oil I think on them? possibly need new boots?)
• Replaced/flushed brake fluid, don't know if previous owners ever did.
• 3D printed a roof rack mount for my topper since it's angled.
  
• 3D printed my prototypes for my quick release awning mounts.
• 3D printed a phone mount in the center console, currently on v7 but I think v8 is going to be it.

 

Finshed installing my Old Man Emu 2.5" lift..

 

Love this set up.

 

Thanks!

 

Put a couple of these in, worked like a charm.

 

Finally put an intermittent wiper stalk on today, it's funny how excited I am to not turn my wipers on/off every 30 seconds.

 

Bought a console vault and installed it today. It was really easy to install, took me about 30 minutes.

 

My favorite addition to the truck.

 

Finally added a lid. Now to figure out how to install it lol if anyone has pdf or pictures of the inside brackets for the leer 550/700 that would be greatly appreciated

 

Been thinking about getting 1 what size pistol fits? If my compact cz 75 won't fit, I might have to go buy another smaller pistol

 

lately nothing on the Tacoma. my time has been spent on the '99 Land Cruiser 100 that i bought in May. Had the upper and lower ball joints replaced, brand new Toyota shocks, and alignment.

 

Question?!?!

Does any one else blow through these carrier bearings??

 

Mine needs done now, how difficult was it to seperate the splined section?
