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

The OneBob is all over it!

 

Headed to El Mirage with BeeRadd to do a little photoshoot.







Also got into a little stick situation...was trying to read a trail sign and didn't notice the 5 foot washout on the passenger side...fell into it at under 10mph, but it bent the HELL out of my Method Double Standard, popped the bead, and left me dangling my jimmies for the world to see! Oddly enough, the truck rolled out of that in reverse without lockers

We got the spare switched out no problem and were back on the trail in 30 min...after a beer. My hi-lift was having issues so I left it at home. 2 bottle jacks did the job.

 

Awesome looking Taco. And that rut definitely looks like one SOB as well as the bottle jack tire change

 

Had Revtek level kit and Hercules MT's installed today

 

This is by far my best ever what have you done to your Tacoma Day!

Started like this:

Then I put on Coilovers and a new UCA:

Then I had to do a little grinding:


To get these to fit:


Then I added a 2" Block in the rear (forgot to take a picture) and got new tires put on:



Then took the wife wheeling:


And drove over some beaver ponds with a bud:


And drank some beer!

 

I must have missed the post lol
Sorry. To get to the fogs either pop the button out or remove the upper dash piece

 

What did you have to cut/grind to fit your shocks?

 

The bracket where the lower mount of the shock sits and is bolted on. The king shock has a wider lower mount body than the original and the bolt would not line up. I had to take not quiet an 1/8" off the inside of that bracket to get the new shock to line up and get the lower mounting bolt through.

 

The lower shock mount. Most aftermarket shocks wont drop in. Too late now, but take a bolt with two nuts and use it as a jacking bolt to open it up a bit. Preferably fine thread, and use anti seize. You have to hold the head to keep it from spinning. If you open it up too much, it'll close back down when you tighten up the shock bolt.

Congrats on the kings tho!

 

I didn't have to widen the bracket, I had to grind where the arrows are pointing...This was making the lower mount stick out and not line up. Thanks for the picture!

 

That shot is the money shot!!!

 

Ahh... Got it. My fox shocks were pretty close as well as the icons I helped install, but not touching. I guess kings are beefier

 

Used your photo for my computer screensaver!!...

 

made a new lopro sub box for my access cab.
3/4" mdf covered in a $5 door mat i got from canadian tire
sounds just as good as the original JL sub box!



fits nicely between the seats

 

Gave her a bath!

 

Took off the All-Pro light hoop for repaint. Sanded it down to remove loose powdercoat and sprayed it with Rust-Oleum Hammered black paint.

 

Hey...what are those shaded things on your headlights? I like that!

 

eyelids.

There are sleepy eyes and angry eyes. I can find the angry eyes right now.
