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

Interested in seeing the em and zombie lights. Possibly the fu lights.

 

Right now I don't have any lights, I wanted to get all the electical done first. But soon I will begin to add my lighting

 

Nobody has a snorkel. you just stay on the Airflow snorkel group buy. we need to fill those last spots so we can get ours and take our trucks scuba diving.

 

I don't think I can wait that long! The intake Is really exposed without the plastic wheel well liners

 

unicorn.

 

Awesome switches! Where did you get them?

 

nice post!! Hope you get it cleaned up ok

 

too lazy to search for the thread. use some commercial engine cleaner and water to clean your engine, or simply go to the car wash and use their sprayer. When you get the dirt and grime off spray the entire engine and especially the rubber/plastic down with 303 protectant. Drive home. By the time you get home the engine will shine and look brand new.

 

I took my intake tube off so now it draws air in right at the engine.

 

So I installed my kings, dakars, and ucas last weekend and am experiencing a bit of taco lean (1 inch difference in the front, and 1 inch difference in the rear). I haven't adjusted the coil overs yet to level it out, but yesterday I noticed the overloads didn't look the same. The passenger side overload looks more compressed than the driver, but the driver side of the truck is lower
Dakars only have one part number, so the shouldn't be different. Any ideas??

Driver:


Passenger:

 

Not sure but for some reason there is a disclaimer I was reading with my Dakars that says they aren't responsible for leaning Tacomas.

 

that Taco lean bro

 

Yeah, which is understandable. What I don't understand is why the gap between the overloads and leafs are backward from what would be expensed with the lean...

 

when i say doesn't rub on anything understand i've already removed all the mudflaps and trimmed the bottom of the flares but no major hammering or cmc yet that all may happen to allow even more clearance

 

I noticed that too - I havnt actually installed mine....but i do think they are side specific - the Dakars that is

 

if you can find anything to confirm this let me know!! I've looked at ARB's website and called DSM, but there's only one part number listed for the dakars... meaning they should be labeled if they are side specific... mine were not, and had the exact same part numbers on each

 

I haven't looked at the part numbers on mine but they have different markings.

 

Mine don't...

 

I would get on the phone with whoever you ordered from and start asking questions - or let some of the other guys wake up and post your issue again...

sorry i couldnt be more help

 

The markings are in relation to spec. (-) the spring rate is just under spec, (o) spring rate is right on spec, (+) is just over spec. They are not side specific. When I installed mine about a month ago I had one (-) and one (o). I installed the (-) on the passenger side and (o) on the drivers side since the spring rate would be slightly better and accommodate the weight of the fuel tank. With that being said, all markings are within OME's tolerance and shouldn't drastically effect the springs.

Someone else feel free to jump in and correct me if I'm wrong, but that's my understanding of the markings on Dakars.
