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

Thanks. I think the photo is angled too because it doesn't look quite the same to my eyes in the garage. That's the great thing about coilovers, if I want to change it later it's real easy.

 

That is exactly what i am thinking about doing. What do ya have there ?

 

Well, the pic got to bugging me so I went and remeasured and also used a level. The front was sitting at 2 1/4" and a level on the box only showed 1/4" rake in 4'. I lowered the front by 1 turn each side, which it 1/8" at the coilover, which equals 1/4" at the tire, and now I'm happy. The height seems to vary a bit since the alignment is so far off, especially the camber causing the tops of the tires to go out to the sides. That's it, it's going for alignment like it is now!


I'll let you know about the tires for sure. The Icons are great!

 

The rear has the Icon progressive AALs on the factory Off-Road rear springs with the overloads left in. Gives exactly 2" lift. A Sport with the extra factory leaf would be higher, or you can drop it 1/2" by leaving the overload out. Icon 2.0 RR shocks back there too.

Up front are Icon 2.5 extended travel coilovers and Icon tubular UCAs. I got the low speed valving version from Downsouth Motorsports. They are so much better than the factory suspension I don't even know how to describe it!

 

Truck looks great, has me reconsidering going with just the 5100's now. Look forward to seeing a picture of it with the dura tracs installed.

 

Bought my suspension setup and will be ordering sliders soon!

 

Gave her a quick wash and cleaned the interior. So far my BHLM survived the power washer!

 

Another beautiful day in western New York!! 67 and mostly sunny! So I decided to paint the frame, clay bar and wax the whole truck. Wont last long, shitty weather returning this week. But makes me feel good she's protected and clean.





Also found a reusable furnace filter at Walmart, so I made a cabin filter for the Taco and one for the wife's Xterra.





Productive weekend

That looks great, it really shines!

The bad weather we're having is coming your way. Seems like every time I detail my truck's exterior it rains or snows the next day too....

 

Thanks!! Clay barring sucks, but well worth the effort!! Yeah I've had that luck this winter . We are down on snowfall, but we get it like every other day. Just enough to mess up the roads/vehicles with salt.

 

lol x2

 

Gave the interior a quick clean and installed my new toolbox.

Still gotta get the box powder coated black but want to get my recovery gear out of the backseat.
