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

Drove her home without a clutch.

 

Got them from my local Toyota dealer part number:

$35 PT278-35054

PT278-35054, I think they were $45 per kit. I had been searching all over online and found that Amazon.com stores wouldn't ship any d-rings to Canada. They come in a kit of two with backing plates and hardware, although the only thing I used was the d-rings. The bed bolts were very difficult to remove, very corroded. Wire wheel'd them and coated them with anti-seize, thinking about replacing them.

 

Might want to treat those with something, they can rust over time

 

How much for that burrito though...

 

Bye semen

 

What. Kinda lift do the thoses billies give you w/ that set up?

 

I have to agree with the cheap thin tape they come with. I didn't even give that stuff a chance. I added my own 3m tape when I got mine. I didn't trust what it came with and didn't want to loose my rears.

 

Drove my 2nd gen to work and saw this.

 

Thanks, I ordered mine yesterday from Amazon:

$6 CR Brophy SR12 Bolt On 1/4" Surface Mount D Ring 2400 Rated

http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IN9J4Q6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AF62V5I9ZUJ57. $1.72 X 6 + 3.99 shipping.

 

let me know how these compare to the factory ones! what's the bolt hole size?

here's a couple links to factory ones on Amazon if you're interested:

2014 Tacoma Truck Bed D-Rings (Qty: 2)

ONE ...and...

$35 Toyota Tacoma Cargo Bed D-Ring Pair 2005 06 07 08 09 10 11

TWO

 

What would you recommend using?

 

@diverdale too

 

The shocks themselves don't yield any lift, the 1.5" AAL does and these shocks are good for 0-1.5" of lift, other parts sites say 0-2" but they changed the whole feel of the rear, prior to these I still had the factory black tokico shocks

 

The ones that I ordered from Amazon are much like the tie down rings from the cheap free mod thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/cheap-free-mods.4838/#post-45406 and will have to be drilled to accommodate the bed bolt. I am thinking of adding a bushing so that the tie downs will be able to rotate.

 

Kool. Only asked cuz I've never seen bilstiens w/ reservoirs before. When I get around to doing my lift I was gonna use bilstiens

 

I love em! I have the Bilstein 5100s up front and the rear is Bilstein 5160s

 

I assume the billies in back are the 5160s, correct?

 

Looks much better in person/in the sun thanks to Meguires NXT. Basically semi warm engine doused in purple power citrus degreaser. Cleaned off with regular garden hose this time, didn't think I really needed the pressure washer. After everything was dry I gave basically anything plastic or rubber a healthy coat of Meguires NXT Insane Tire Shine. The stuff is great and lasts forever. Makes subsequent cleanings much easier. Also did some little things like scotch brite pad to some surface rust on the master cylinder and Griots Garage speed shine to the inner fender well paint.

 

You are correct!

 

Awesome! Thanx @txtaco87
