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

Same here. TRD wheels with 1.25 spacers

 

Hit the snow without leaving the driveway! And this is at noon in Tucson, AZ! LOL!!!

 

I ran 1.25" spacers and 285s on stock wheels for about 40,000miles, with no issues. Now I have 9" wheels with 4.5" bs and all is well...so far!

I used a torque wrench to install the spacers, and blue loctite. All rotations were done by me, also with a torque wrench. I also use ALOT of copper never seize on the lugnuts and the backs of the wheels! No issues yet!

 

Same here with the torque. Even after the dealer rotates my tires when I get home I redo all the wheel torque. I know they do not use torque sticks or even torque wrench. I have about 15,000 miles on mine so far

 

What difference do you notice in ride driving in town/freeway unloaded?

 

That's a bad idea, because you are effectively overtorquing the lugnuts.

Spidertrax's prohibition against impact wrenches is to prevent the impacts from cracking the aluminum.

 

This arrived today;

 

That makes sense. That's a thick piece of AL but over time it could happen especially if you are taking it to a corner shop where they know nothing and just crank away with the impact.

 

Well yesterday, put in my weathertech floor liners. Really happy with them. Really love the coverage for the back, with 2 kids, its needed. Shouldn't have to break out the shop vac so much.

 

My kid dropped a whole chocolate milkshake once, thank you weathertech

 

Yikes.

 

Trimmed my flaps, I might ditch em after my lift.

 

Installed my Westin Nerf Bars from CarID on my Regular Cab. Now maybe the idiots in the neighborhood won't back into my truck.

 

Trying to put my 4" blocks in right now but it's giving me he'll Idk which holes to use in the top of the blocks......there is a centered hole and a hole behind it (towards the rear of the truck) I've never seen blocks with two holes on top so idk which ones to use

 

probably for centered springs like our 2nd gens have and offset for offest spring like 1st gens..

 

Gotcha!! Yeah I got er figured out just ended up calling maxtrac and they were 100% certain it was the center hole!! Props to you for knowing that!! Haha starting reassembly now thanks

 

Hope u got longer brake lines

 

Well I installed my skids yesterday.







Front end has lowered to 22 5/8" center hub to fender after installing sliders & skids.
Now I need to decide if I realign & live with it or install 1/4" spacers to regain 1/2" & realign it.

 

Lunch with the boys.

 

Put in some off road lights! and a red Tacoma badge on the new grill.
