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

Please list all the details and pics when you get it done. Very, very interested in how your lift turns out. I'm wanting to go that way, too. Just can't decide all the particulars. Thx.

 

We might all be truck brothers...but that don't make us twerk brothers!

 

installed my oem grill today and cleaned/washed it.

 

Got one of my shoes replaced on her today... Had a nail in it and they weren't able to patch it, had to replace it... Road hazard is awesome!!!

 

Thats my Dad..^^

Twerkin'..???.I thought he was tryin' to sling dingleberries outta' his crack........who knew..?

 

LOL. your dad has moves like Jagger?

 

Installed some weathertech wind deflectors, very useful to be able to leave the windows cracked in the south and then not worry about a freak thunderstorm soaking the interior. Only con is the windows do seem the struggle a bit to set fully closed, I've had weathertech in the past and they didn't seem to be this tight (good Toyota quality I suppose) maybe it will eventually loosen up the track a bit.

 

Went in for a 10k mile service and reflashed brake actuator.

 

If this is the wrong place to post this I apologize. Just wanted ask if people think my angles look alright.

As for what I did today, I just removed my sway bar to see how I like it.

 

What would I gain from getting the 5150 billies?

 

Your angles dont look too bad. If you have any vibarations i would suggest a diff drop

 

Do u rub in reverse right above where the sway bar bolted at full lock? It looks pretty close in the pic, mind did for a couple days after i went 1.75" on my 5100's but i havent noticed it since.

 

From what I can tell I've got no rubbing or vibrations. Wow, that sounds kinda kinky.... haha
I'm getting new rims soon with 4.5 backspacing so hopefully that area it looks close to rubbing won't be a problem.

 

Your angles look ok. Your CV boots may rub through prematurely but you should be all right.

Also, DO NOT get a front diff drop. They only cause more issues on 2nd Gens.

Wasn't planning on a diff drop. I think they sent me one with my kit, but I didn't install it. Appreciate it guys

ok ok here it goes... another vibration issue... i've searched for hours but couldn't find one that went with my situation...

so I recently installed a procomp lift level kit with only one broken breaker bar and new ubolts. took it in for an alignment thinking that would fix my alignment...which would make sense, right? prior to my lift my truck rode buttery smooth, installed lift, alignment, the truck had a very noticable vibration in the floor/steering wheel so I took it back for a second alignment thinking that would be the issue for some reason. they checked it again and it's spot on. they switched the tired side to side and deemed it was an issue with the tires that "the tread is separating in side the tire" which sucks because I only bought the general grabber at2's about 1.5 years ago and has only been on pavement. So IF that were true... how would that happen in the time span of my truck being parked while installing lift... doesn't make sense...
So as I drove it home today the vibe is still there, so I thought "hmm wonder if putting it in 4x4 will change it?" and BOOOOOM vibration is gone!
This has now made me even more confused because:
1) alignment is fine
2) tires are fine (because the vibe is gone in 4x4)
3) could it be the cv because of the transfer case change? but that would be the other way around wouldn't it? wouldn't it vibe in 4x4 not 2x4 if it were a cv axle issue?

does anyone have any experience on my situation or any ideas/suggestions I should do to fix this issue?

I'm want to fix it asap, I get so frustrated when my yoda isn't running right.

 

Well, a little late, but on Wednesday, I bought a 2014 double cab. Now the fun begins!

 

Amazing how new lights make your Taco look new again! Oxidation sucks!! They should use glass instead of plastic for headlights imo...

 

Woooo!!! Welcome!
