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

@ChadsPride cant wait too see all the new stuff on your truck!

 

come back in 120 days.....

 

Been thinking about a going PreRunner style lately. LT and all. It's just money, right?

 

Removed factory roof rack with light bar, reinstalling factory rubber channels. To install oem roof rack you have to remove a single sided 3m adhesive like tape that covers the pre drilled threaded holes. Well when going back your left with open holes to allow rain in. I spoke with my local Toyota dealer and zero listing for the adhesive tape to reapply and seal up the holes. Only came across a couple threads with my situation, and census ruled to use permatex grey silicone, just enough to seal up the holes then I applied new double sided 3m adhesive strip at rear curve of the channels. Just wanted to share my fix if anyone ends up in the same boat.

 

Hopefully I have time to put this on my truck Monday (bummed out the ome springs didn't come with a sticker haha was looking forward to slapping it on my rear window) also a shout out to @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc

 

I'd bet you could email OME and say you bought their stuff and want some sticker and they'll mail you them for free. I did this with about 10 companies, and all but one got back to me.

 

Mine didn't come with a decal either :-/

 

It's to be expected right? Almost flipped the box inside out looking for the decal haha

 

Not necessarily. I ran OME coils on my truck and there was no sticker in there.

 

Im going to shoot them an email and see what's up haha

 

A few things today, test "fit" my sliders to make sure I wouldn't run into any snags after they've been painted. Installed my other goodies from SOS, hi lift mounts and recovery point. The 60" hi lift requires a bit of assembly if needed, oh well.

 

I think if you turn the hi-lift 180 degrees you can leave the baseplate on.

 

Used the Fourtreks Hi-Lift bar mounts to put the jack on the center hoop of the bumper. Going to move the mounts around a bit till I find the sweet spot and then I'll just throw the jack on when we are getting ready to go wheeling.

 

Thanks! May give that a shot, I swore seeing people with a dcsb & 60" with the baseplate still attached lol

 

Got a couple of packages

 

Fuckin' A !!

The fuckers might have stole my truck, but the taczilla lives on.

When is the Bussman panel and switches going in?

 

It seems like their shocks come with stickers but not coils. Out of the four OME coil boxes I've opened or seen opened, none came with them. All the shock ones did. Weird.

Mine fits with the base plate attached.

 

Are you selling the factory roof rack and light bar? If so I may be interested.

 

I'm sure the permatex will hold up great, I removed a light bar off my roof that used the OEM holes and ended up using this 3m sealant gel-type tape after removing the OEM stuff. I even painted over it with OEM touch up paint so it resembles the stock setup:

$36 3M - 1-5-4412N 4412N Sealant Tape, 1" width x 5yd length (1 roll)

Haven't had a single leak since application a couple months ago, and I've driven through some torrential storms.
