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

Awesome!!!

 

I'm a little bummed - I don't do a whole lot of crawling and I really like the look of the TRD skid, but I suppose I do enough off-roading to warrant proper protection.

 

Finally wore out the stock tires and decided it was time to upgrade the wheels while I was at it!

Next stop, new suspension!!

 

I liked it, but you and I both found out just how impractical it was

 

I do have the AC so it's a little bit lighter, and it's possible that I'll get some settling over time. I don't know if this would affect the height, but I had to cut through one of my end links, so until I get new ones I don't have the sway bar on. I was surprised though because I was expecting 2". I'll make sure to update the thread if anything changes!

 

Are your billies set at zero?

 

It's a little strange you got 3" from the 884's. Most people use 887 to get 3" and then they'll settle to 2.75"

 

You know what, that's one thing I might have overlooked. I think I just assumed that's how they were going to assemble them. I'll have to check that out! If they're not, can I adjust them without removing or disassembling the coilover? Also, I was under the impression that the settings on the 5100's adjusted ride stiffness more than ride height?

 

I use my friends kids all the time to clean the inside of my wheels.

I just don't take them off the truck.

 

I think removal of the coil in necessary to adjust the seat to a different setting

 

I changed my rear diff fluid. Old stuff was not black to my surprise.

 

It does both it primarily adjusts height but it does so by preloading the coil which will result in stiffer ride

 

Yes it is because the clip is under the coil "perch"

 

When I had 884s I got 1.75" on a DC.

Disassembly required.

 

Painted my rear axle. Didn't really mask, just didn't want it too rusty. It'll look bad again after a few trips to Rausch

 

Mundane maintenance item today. Greased the drive shaft, all 5 zerks. I had ran out of grease in the gun doing lawn equipment maintenance on Saturday or I would have done this when I rotated the tires.

 

This Is what I want to do with my 2012 DCSB TDRor! Would you be able to PM me so I can get an idea of $$ and maybe some questions?!

 

Likely around $600 for that setup.

 

Thanks! Figured it's the easiest way to lift it without needing new UCAs

 

There's a shit ton of lift options that don't require UCAs.
