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

Just finished the 3000 miles trek to see the family over the holidays. Started at exactly 17,000 miles on the odometer, and finished at 19,999. Would have driven around the block to hit 20,000 but it was late.... My in-laws live in SW Colorado, so had to hit up Moab for a bit. Drove on the Gemeni Bridges trail for a bit and did some hiking. I've done the Gemeni Bridges trail before, but with the snow, it made it pretty slick and entertaining. Lastly, my wife surprised me with some Bilstein 5100's. Guess I will need to do some lifting and leveling in the near future. Enjoy.

 

nice, I would paint the t-slots, those rusted pretty bad on me in a few months

 

Good call. I've got a can of Rustoleum around the house somewhere.

 

do it up!

 

Installed 2014 signal mirrors and wired them to work look slick on my 2010

 

One of my favorite mods I've done.

 

Those t nuts are 7/8 size? Looking to find a canadian retailer...

 

Nice. Which one's did you get?

Stage III up front and Stage I in the rear. They certainly need an amp of some sort to push them, the stock headunit just isn't enough. It did clean up the sound quite a bit though.

 

Mine to

 

Awesome, I have stage IV fronts and stage II rears on the way to me right now.

 

I actually got it from a friend I think he just found it online. I've seen some that are hard plastic clips that go over the light instead which look pretty good too.

 

Got my Bilstein 5100's installed on all 4 corners and new BF Goodrich KO2's. The front billies are adjusted to 2.5 with a 1 inch block under the rear leafs. The truck rides great! Better than expected.

 

Truck looks really good! What size tires are you running?

 

Thank You! My tire size is 265/70/17.

 

Well I carried my Taco in today for the, Toyota Powertrain Warentry, repair on the (Front Differential Groaning/ Grinding Cyclical Noise) that I got approved just before Christmas it took them a little while to get the new bearings, and the new tools in to do it with, I guess Christmas, New Years, and a Blizzard could have had a little to do with that though. Well it took them 3 1/2 hours to do the repair and no more noise at all. It took me a little while to get home, I just kept slowing down to 40 mph and listening, and all is well, Damn I'm happy! I still can't believe they never said anything about my three in lift, and bigger tires. Some of the comments on here from guys with lifts being turned down because of the lift had me worried, I was paranoid till I drove off.------------------------------------------------------------

 

So I had new tires installed tonight on my way home from work that I ordered last week to get the rebate from Goodyear $160 that had to be completed by 12/31/2015. Well, now I have really nice gouges and nicks in the in the rims edge.

So I go and get the Manager to show him the damage and of course he says they didn't cause that damage I was like really you are going to start this conversation off this way? We go back and forth for about 5 minutes of his denial of his tech's lack of care as I told him that these tires (old ones) had never been off the rim as they were the factory tires. He still was denying the damage at this point, So I said what if I showed you pictures of the rims right before I brought truck with time stamps that I took in the parking lot here? The expression on his face was priceless I said is there anymore denial in who caused the damage?He shut the fuck up and said he would have to contact his corp office to see where we go from here. I said I look forward to speaking with them tomorrow....

Is it kind of petty maybe. But you know what take care of someones stuff and treat it right and don't damage it how fucking hard is that?

 

^ Good thing you proved him wrong. A local Goodyear scratched a couple rims on my wife's Camry as well. It's a shame I didn't take pictures beforehand. Good Luck.

 

I have been burned before with damage to the rims from tires being replaced not again....
