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

New 3in lift 5100s all around and ome 887 springs aligned great as well was about a 3 hour job for me installing with no air tools.

 

Another Mobil 1 oil change. Damn, seems like it was only a month ago that i changed it last.

 

Switched to mobil 1 synthetic oil and changed air/cabin filters. Kept it oem. Only to find a nail in one of my Nitto terra grapplers on my driver side rear. Plugged it myself but now kinda wish I took it to a shop to do it the right way. Oh well. Bitch better hold. Haha.

 

I put my flush bed bars on and put the RTT on and tested to see if the softopper will fit over the RTT. Exactly what I wanted for an everyday option that doesn't stick out and keeps people looking away

 

How much did all of that cost ya? Nice setup. Ride good, same, different? BTW, thanks for what you do.

 

Installed new shocks in the rear... FABTECH SHOCKS SUCK.

Well, I needed new shocks since the original ones I bought it with were terribly rusty. So I replaced with the same P/N. The new ones had so much paint on the threads I almost needed a die to run over the stud to get a nut on there... The bushings it came with are a bit over sized too (not that bad, but enough to take two damn hours to do a shock install, just in the rear!)...

When these go out I'm converting to eye style up top.

 

Pictures?

 

Installed lift. OME 884s and 5100s. And new Fuel Anza wheels with 265 KM2s. Loving it.

 

Ya please share your results. I'm gonna order the exact same setup for mine soon. The 887s seem to be kind of a new thing for these trucks. Thanks

 

That looks killer! Nice work only 3 hrs too. I'm either going this route or the new bilstein coilover coming out in January. I want to see how those shake out before I commit to either.

 

I'd like to know if the ride will be better than Icon/kings for the new bilsteins

 

From what I've been reading it's not really to compete with those but a next step up from the 5100 possibly a future replacement of. Not enough information out there yet. Waiting to see what kind of spring options it comes with before I make my decision though.
Here the thread I've been following.

Yeah I've been reading that too, I just mean the ride on the road, I know they won't have the fancy stuff that icons and kings have but i just care about the ride quality.

 

Same here, a little less than a month and we'll find out

 

Same here, I hope their prices are not anywhere near Icons or Kings prices though. It would kill my interest a little though. If I had to pay that much then mind as well buy Icons/Kings. Just my opinion.

 

They said a full set would be around $750, pretty sure that includes rears too.

You'll have to test them out for me and let me know!

 

Si, that's what I read as well, that price includes front and rear resi.

 

...And on that note anybody want to buy a custom truck painting to support my mod budget?

 

What do you need? Just a pic of the truck? Can I include additional items to include in the painting? What is the average cost?

 

The 5100s were 320 and the ome springs were 167 j believe so about 490
