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

God that sound makes me cringe

 

Me too , I swear these Hankook ATm's pick up way more rocks than the Hankook MT's did

 

How long are those tires lasting for you? I'm gonna be getting some pretty nice wheels from SCS (vin), when he starts production and will be looking for new tires soon, got over a year out of my wrangler M+S's

 

Differential breather mod. Nice and easy.

 

MT's had lots of tread on them when I took them off , the ATm's have only been on for a couple months

 

Well... this is what I did

Installed my new Bilstein 5100 struts and rear shocks on today. The ride feels good. Its stiffer, but handles the rough bumps well from daily driving around Memphis area roads. I hope they handle well off road as they do on rough roads around here.

 

I installed my Wet Okole seat covers..

 

Got my alignment this morning. Installed my URD TCAI when I got home.

 

Really diggin the red valve covers.

 

That is one pretty engine bay!

I redid my truck bed cover with a truck covers usa rollup, and put some rail bars on. Only bars I could find that I liked the shape of were CHROME. Put em on to see how they look, trying to decide what to do with em next. Paint them grey, or black, or plastidip... Leaning towards painting them black - but the toyota auto color black. Anyhow here she is-

 

dang you keep your wheels clean cause they're as shiny as those chrome bars!

 

Thanks fam. They really set of the engine compartment. Glad I got that stock intake outta the way so you can see the valve covers. LOL

 

Heh, thanks man. Actually you can't see due to that being a mediocre cellphone pic, but the pollen is so bad right now wash your car and leave it outside for an hour - it will have a yellow tint when you look again. No joke. That roll up cover looked so pretty when I first got it, powder coated aluminum, now it has the dust on it - ugh. Reminds me I should finish cleaning my garage so I can get her back inside.

 

How do you like the URD Intake? Notice any improvement? BA truck by the way..

 

Thanks bro. I really like it. Once installed, it really cleans up the engine bay. I only took like a 4 mi drive to make sure there were no CEL's following the install. I did get on it once and the sound from the intake is immediately noticeable....that sucker is loud. Doubt there'll be much in the way of a performance gain, but a little more throttle response is fine with me. I got it to maximize performance, reduce clutter and weight. Mission accomplished.

 

Thank you both for the advice, i kinda figured as much. Guess i'll just have to keep the whip off until needed...

 

Picked it up from the stealership after getting an oil change, tires rotated and a new AC / Heater fan. No more "chirping" sound from the vents!!!

 

Ditto. Exactly what I was going to say. Loud (in a good way), more room in the engine bay for possible other mods, and weight loss.
