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

looks good, what uca's are you running and how much lift?

 

That should certainly hold the road tight , need to get mine done as it feels really loose on washboards and wind conditions . I hate the stock settings ....

LR UCA's set at setting D +2* caster, camber about 3/4 to the outside. ~3" lift OME 886 with 5mm driver spacer.

Yep, that's how mine used to feel. My trip to Charleston will be the test drive for these settings.

 

When I did the cut/turn on the Cruiser's front axle I set that one to 5.5* to fix the longer shackles and provide a final 3.0* when it gets it's new springs . That thing feels like it's anchored to the road ...

OMG get rid of those lr ucas your trucks gonna blow the hell up

 

better the tech did his job, unlike the last one....LOL Firestone is a hit or miss. I come in regularly, like im coming for a doctors check up so they know what I want and have saved notes. Mondays are when my preferred tech works.

 

OHHH F YEAA!!!!

 

Those hoses are nice, got myself one for my OBA setup.

Haha, they are fine for my wallet and needs.

Exactly. I will request this tech from now on.

 

yea looking forward not spending like half hour to fill up my tires.

 

ok, before I get it I acknowledge this screw up. I just bought this 09 DCSB TRDS IN DEC, had 133k on it and without knowing when / if the gear oil had been changed I was out to make sure. The plan, to change the fluids on Diffs with Royal purple 80W90, Transfer with Mobile 1 (trying to save a little $$$), when I dropped the plug on the rear it was a perfect honey color telling me it was fairly new. 1st mistake, I put the plug back in thinking (why drain good oil), so... 2nd possibly bigger mistake, I had to put oil back in, I probably should have put the mobile 1 in the rear at this point but put topped it off with Royal purple.
I know, once in motion I should have continued, instead I was a knuckle head and stopped, topping it off with almost 2 qts of royal purple. My question (and I think I know what the answer is), would I be ok "provided" the previous owner used TOYO GL5 as it is synthetic, OR should I suck it up and drain it (completely this time) and fill with all same type knowing its not mixed. Please spare me, I know I made a bone head move, once the plug was pulled the job should have been finished, but that ship has sailed. I know what logic is telling me, but if I don't have to waste the oil I would simply like to move forward. ok, let me have it.

 

Why did you decide to go with so much caster and why is the camber not 0?

 

actually I bought all they had, wouldn't get more in for a week or so... but message received. I will leave it where it is, take back the mobile 1 and seek out the last 2 qt. royal purple.

 

Just installed a 2011 steering wheel into my 07 with the controls. Was super easy plug and play, took me 30 mins. All buttons work and its a very nice compliment to the 14 touchscreen stereo.

 

Very cool

how hard was it to install the 14 stereo?

 

Very easy.

I followed this thread to a T. Basically the only thing I dont have is the nav, backup camera and I haven't hooked up the audio jack, but the usb works. Everything so far has been plug and play. The only modification I have done was trimming the bezel to fit the 14 radio correctly which I also used that thread to get it done correctly.

 

Additionally I used this thread to guide me through the steering wheel install.

Yep. Love it!
