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

x2. Great looking rig!

 

Got my 5100s installed on the front today. Set them at 1.75 and came out pretty close to level. In the photo its on a slight slope. Believe my next mod is going to be ditch lights using CBI brackets, switch, and Rigid Duallys.

 

threw on some new 285 Coopers

 

Your Taco is really coming along!

 

This evening i took my leaf springs apart. Which was a huge pain. I wouldnt recommend doing it by yourself haha. My center pin was rusted and destroyed so i had to use an impact just to get it off. I used some stainless hardwear that was laying around and grinded off the head of the bolt so it would fit nicely in its slot. Then i cleaned up the leafs with simple green and cut some fire hose that i had and placed them at the end of the leaf springs to prevent the sqeaking. I made 4 inch lengths and slid it into place. I was only able to get one side done because it was a huge pain doing it by myself. I hope the fire hose holds up well i have a pretty good feeling about it

 

I've read Alot of that alot on this site. But some on here swear by them. Ill keep a eye on the secondary filter and see how that looks if its getting any dust to it.

I know its a seperate deal but I have a 07 yfz450 with a dry wrap with the k&n. sometimes no air box and have never had dust in my intake. One day of riding I habe to clean the air filter but I've never had dust in my intake.

 

Looks good!

 

Side shot please! Looks great! What lift?

 

Installed a brake light strobe module on my third brake light...Don't hit me

 

not a very good pic, I'll try and get a better one today.

 

Just got my 265s aligned yesterday.

 

I went through some FL dusty roads. My K&N was clogged beyond anything I had seen before. I pulled it out and there was a fistfull of sand in it. the intake itself had the same. My engine was loosing power and stuttering badly. Oil was BLACK and dirty, (Mobil 1 5w 30) - Changed the Oil filter, oil and intake K&N filter out for all new ones. 2500 miles since wednesday of last week and all is seemingly fine again.

Well, that is, without pulling half my engine apart. I can hit the acelerator hard and not bog down and loose power. No more tossing codes.

I was really worried not knowing what the real issue was. I had found wood chips/ bark in a couple of my gas cans. The neighbor had been vandalizing my truck and property for a few months now when he gets drunk . I was really fearing the worst. I still want to drop the gas tank, check out the filter foot on the gas pump. Then, possibly install a new performance pump since I will have to when I get the SC anyways.

 

Lol i get that aloy..everyone loves the 4runner...and my wife loves hearing it

Thanks

 

Getting TC cam tabs and CMC welded up today.

 

Looks good!

 

What wires are those sticking out of your front bumper?

 

Might be an engine warmer.

 

one is for the block heater, and the other is for the battery charger. I work a 14x14 day shift, so my truck sits a lot. When I go to work and park it for 2-3 weeks, I plug it in and it trickles 2A all the time, keeps the battery fully charged and also keeps it from freezing. The snow finally melted, so I guess I'll tuck them inside the bumper for the summer.

 

ST...or Max.??
