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

Finished a couple weeks ago, but my retrofits are done. Painted the apollo shrouds and headlight shrouds MGM to match the truck, left the bowls chrome (poor pictures inside my garage as it was raining outside). Also installed door sill protectors and wrapped my cup holder console piece in matte black vinyl to match my black trim pieces.

Thanks man, maybe the 885 are better since I plan on adding skids, sliders and a bumper down the road. How have you beem liking your setup?

 

B E A utiful.

 

Awesome pics! How are the Sliders holding up? they look good.
I think the only thing your truck is missing is a snorkel.

 

Installed a USB and 12 volt power adapter.

 

The 35k maintenance and installed my DIY electrical plate

 

holding up well, i have a snorkel but i am debating installing it after seeing the safari....

 

That's funny I was just thinking a snorkel would look good on that truck.

 

Nothing major, cleaned up my stock Off Road Bilstein's before I throw them on CL. There's gotta be someone out there that could use these things.

 

Removed my front swaybar today and just as I suspected it was the source of all the rattling and creaking while driving on rough surfaces. I think it just needs new end links. I'm also kicking myself today because I had been watching a full set of oem fender flares (of which I need 2) on craigslist for $125 for a few weeks and when I finally decided to pull the trigger, they were gone.
Moral to the story. If you see something you want or need don't wait, just get it.

 

Installed a couple days ago some brackets from calirasiedled ( lower valance stealth ) with a 32in light bar. Made my own harness and used a fj cruiser light switch. I changed the bulbs in it so it wouldn't be fj orange interior.

 

Put in a Honeycomb sport grill
Currently derpping the emblem

 

I've always been partial to my 2011 grill among the 2nd gens. For factory anyway.

 

Happy Sunday everyone, too bad Monday is right around the corner

The 884's provide around 2" of lift on a stock weight 05-15 4dr 4wd and the 885's will provide around 2.5" of lift on the same trim and year of Tacoma.
You will usually see around 1/4"-1/2" more lift from the coils since you have an access cab. Any additional up front weight can affect that as well.

The OME Dakar full leaf pack replacement will provide quite a bit more hauling, towing, and off-road capability over the stock pack. However it will be stiff since you are adding more steel out back but that is the give-and-take in order gain the additional capabilities. The OME pack will provide approx. 2.75”-3” of rear lift over stock. You will maintain the rake of the truck as well. If the overall rear height is too much for you or the ride seems too stiff you can remove the 3rd leaf. Doing so will decrease the spring rate by 15% and the overall height by 15mm. You can also remove the long overload and that will decrease the lift height by ½” but not affect the spring rate. If you feel you need more from the pack there is the OME add-a-leaf which can be added in and that will give you around 15mm of increased lift height and 15% more spring rate. It is not recommended to run the aal just for extra height since the ride from it can be rather stiff if the extra weight is not present.

 

changed the oil and checked the AFE air filter. The sock is a must in my opinion.

 

I just put a lift kit, new gas struts and shocks with new wheels and tires. Also installed the reeltree camo quarter panel decals.

 

Created a list of upgrades to submit to insurance:

$13,885 CAD

(My truck was stolen.)

 

Love the, but if your going to add armor you'll want the 886s, they are a stiffer spring for the extra weight. Probably be a rough ride without the armor at first though

 

Thanks Marie! I'll send you a PM about pricing.
