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

There is another long time member on here named jr97tacoma. Probably got him for having too similar of a name I think.

Or maybe it has to do with the years not matching up in his description

 

hey man do you need a roof rack for this tent or will it work without one?

 

hmm might be interested in doing this. how's it holding up so far, any down side to it?

 

I put 5100s on the front today and got 2 inches of lift. Looking pretty level if not a tad nose high. But a slightly used TSB leaf pack should cure that. Anyone have one they wanna sell me?

 

That turned out amazing!!!! Great looking with the FJ40 Toyota emblem

Damn that looks awesome!!! BHLM and your front would look ...

 

almost 100% sure you have to have a roof rack. i know the OEM will not work, it is only rated at 100 pounds and with you and maybe someone els, and the weight of the tent you will be way over that 100 pounds.

 

What did you use for grille mesh? I want to do this so bad... with black housings

 

i did it yesterday,,,,,it still works.

Check Ostrichs post above about the t530 reliability.

If it happens, i'll just take it all out.

 

I would leave it alone, I like it

 

took my TX PRO stickers off (the white lettering wasnt working for me.) and i got the taco washed and gassed.

holy crap, filling her up almost makes me miss my corolla! ...almost...

at least i'm not in socal anymore. 3.69 is a steal compared to the 4.50 my dad is paying in LA.

 

Thanks for taking the time to answer brother. Going to attempt next week!

 

Thanks for the comments, it's a grillcraft. It's really nice and heavy gauge, not really just a flimsy mesh... Everyone thats seen it likes it

bought winter tires and slapped them on the TRD wheels for in a month or so

 

I ordered an Avid light bar with an extra bar below to protect the bottom of my center bumper. It will still be high enough to have access to the factory tow hookups under the bumper.

I'm going to prime it with red oxide then gloss black then a clear coat to match my step bars.

What do you think? Do you think it will still look good? I'll post pictures of it installed after I receive it.

I'm also having 2 tabs put on for a couple of Rigid lights like the ones in the picture. I may put them on top or hang them under the top bar from the two tabs.

 

'Got my intake tube and filter to fit on 2012 Tacoma V6.
(Some people may call this CAI or cold air intake, which I REFUSE to call it)...

*(And, Yes, 2012 is different, there is an air pump in the way)...


Clean install. No fab needed. 1 $1 part from Home Depot, some deep thought, and patience was all that was required
... [ This one is an AEM Dryflow / K&N Tube hybrid but should work for any older intake... ]


Anyone interested in a write up ?

 

looks clean man. goes well with darker Tacos. I say leave em

 

X2 leave it, they look great. I am ordering them now for sure!

 

I'm interested in seeing the change you made to make this work.
