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

Look pretty damn nice!

 

• Introduced myself with a "what suspension do I have" post.
• Learned I have a spacer / 3" lift
• Learned this is why it rides so rough.
• Then I had new wheels and tires mounted and balanced.
• Performed "Dremel Surgery" on appropriate areas. Not much had to come off and it was done smoothly in an arc so you don't even notice that it is cut.
• Tested for rubbing. None. 295/70/17's
• Installed new tail lights - love them.
  
  too dark to get pics of the wheels.
  *2nd pic shows stock left and aftermarket right.
  
  more to come in the next few days.
  Clutch, Suspension etc. I just don't know where to start, since I'm a noob. Lots of searching ahead

 

New tail lights black

 

Plasti-dipped my rims. Just to see how i like the black color on it. I'm diggin it so far. Plan on putting on the URD CAI this weekend. Stoked!

 

Damn that body lift doesn't look bad at all! I just might have to get me one!! I want more lift!!!!! Good choice on the tires! I have about 15k on mine so far and still have plenty of tread left.......wearing very well for a M/T

 

Ive been really thinking about it

 

Do it !

 

Come on Matt.....ill do it if you do it haha

 

Need to wear my 35s out first...then im going to sell my 35s and 17s. Then im gunna get 37s with 20s and do the 3" body

 

On a prerunner no less...

 

So much juice going on right now ^

 

I got my new guard dog put on.

 

HATERS GON' HATE

 

I hate town fair tire because they wrecked my wheels, however, i love them because right now they are paying for them to painted matte black

 

........where is the relevance??? Lmao I'm just messin

 

I try to avoid them like the plague. The people that work there always frustrate me when I try to work with them. I purchased a wheel/tire package with them when I had my first car and I specified a tire size I wanted (a non-OEM / non-OEM +1/+2) and they were fighting me to order it and wanted to give me a tire that was far, far too small. They kept telling me I didn't know what I was talking about and being otherwise condescending.

I then wanted to have them mount a set of tires purchased through them on a set of Cragars I purchased for my old Toyota and they refused to mount them because I didn't purchase them there. They gave me the hardline of signing a waiver, etc, etc. I understand the reasoning behind it, but they "hey bro" hardline stance drove me up a wall.

 

Bought and mounted my ultraguage

 

Today I had my running boards installed, ordered my parts for my upcoming breather extinsion, and had my tires road force balanced.

 

A BRUSH AX is what it's called as well as a Kaiser Blade.

 

Well, it didn't happen today but this is the first chance I've had to get it together...

I ordered a SnugTop Rebel about 3 weeks ago and it finally installed. I opted for the windoors with sliders on both sides (my last canopy, a skill-craft had them and I can't see going without them ever again). I also got the drop down slider at the head of the bed...that I may never use...time will tell. The factory installed a Top Track system that will carry both Thule and Yakima cargo towers.

Super happy so far as the paint matches perfectly (as far as I can tell). We haven't had any torrential down pours to see if it leaks any place.

Also I placed my order for Andres' devil horns! boo-yah!
