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

Right now my back sits a little bit higher than the front and I'm looking to level it at least or if I could get it higher than 3 inches, eventually go with better leaf packs for the back. I currently have a diff drop kit on that I installed when I did my coils- knowing that I'd like to go higher eventually. Thanks

 

What's the official name of that paint color? I've always liked it.

 

Wet cement?

 

Those are only 31.7 inches.

 

I'm not sure where you read that, but you shouldn't run them with stock shocks. Since they're longer than stock coils, at full droop you'll be over extending the shock. It's a moot point now though since you're already running them, but I'd switch to 5100s sooner rather than later.

 

Anvil

Edit: What he said ^^^

 

haha yes, yes they are...kinda hard to get an even conversion from metric to standard, but hey if that 1/4" means that much to you I'll stop living a lie and tell everyone I've only got 31.7's

 

I must be a masochist because I refer to my 32.2s as 32s.

 

Did you get an M3?

 

Since I got my front door adapters for my RF Punch 6x9s yesterday, this morning I went ahead and put them in while the kiddos were watching cartoons and/or doing homework.

My next investment: Sound dampener... There isn't a ton of rattle, but enough to bother me and my OCD tendencies.

I guess I can look at it also as a reason to reduce the road noise and add a little insulation to the truck, neither of which would hurt.

 

Tossed in a new Brake Master Cylinder thinking all other options have been exhausted in ridding myself of a squishy brake pedal.

verdict

nothing has changed.... I just taught myself how to install a MC and bled the brakes for the 4th time this year.


One last option that I haven't tried is the Brake shoes might be installed totally incorrectly causing the shoes to be the incorrect distance from the inside of the drum.

Does anyone have a picture with the Driver's side/Passenger's side brake shoe situation? I'm looking for which shoe goes in the front, which in the rear and the direction of the springs and adjuster.
this is getting annoying.

 

This might help.

Do you mean squishy brakes more than normal? Only way I found to stiffen up the pedal feel was to use stainless steel braided lines.

 

Thanks @JD'STaco I'll watch that video for reference when I have my wheel off.

@DriverSound
already tried that one. seems like things firm up after 1.5 pumps so I'm down to just trying things out for fixes. Hoping I have the shoes on backwards or something stupid

 

Could also be your brake booster. When it's going out, it either feels stiff or spongy.

 

not quite sure, I've checked the check-valve and you can hear air enter the front pedal area. The booster seems totally fine. I feel like the rear brakes just aren't catching till they've been extended a bit. I'm sure I'll post when I discover the issue.
