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

No you wouldnt!!! I was married to her for 3 years. WAS!!!!

 

I LOVE the STT Pro's! Hard to balance though. How much cutting/hammering/welding did you end up doing to clearance those with that low offset? I had to do a decent amount of plastic cutting to make my 265s fit with a -12 offset and they still hit my fender flares.

 

LOTS of work required to fit 285/75 on a 16x8 -25. You’re totally right, any offset >-10 starts making things a lot of work to fit with full articulation and no rubbing. Pinch weld is ground down but still slicing the tire at full lock in reverse. CMC was VERY aggressive. Lower front fenders were trimmed, TONS of plastic was trimmed and the tire still catches on a little bit of it stuffed at full lock off roading. That being said, I still haven’t maxed out my castor. Total chaos arms are only at about 1.5* currently. Still worth it IMO. I’m very happy with the stance and stability of it. Here are a few angles. The good thing is that Joe at GMG fab (Scottsdale AZ) did such a great job at an aggressive CMC like I asked, almost all of the rubbing is not on frame. Only a slight bit of black paint has been rubbed on the passenger CMC bevel

 

Yeah man, its a little long, but I fold the top over and use it as a pillow, and it fits perfectly. As far as sleeping pads go, its the most comfortable one I've personally ever owned. Only thing I would change is it's maybe a little difficult to roll up. Here's the Amazon link where I bought mine.

$97 TETON Sports Universal Camp Pad; Sleeping Pad for Car Camping , Brown, Universal/80" x 30" x 2"

Edit: Pretty sure I bought the universal size.

 

I added a +5hp TW sticker (am I one of the gang now?) and received some of my aux fuse panel supplies in the mail. Made a template out of cardboard to start figuring out how to lay out everything as best as possible with minimal mess.

 

How much do those run? They are beautiful!

 

They really are. Tuned specifically for the 4.0 for best power output. @Roostfactor makes them to order.

 

mmm coops

 

i think its time for a fuse block panel

 

Bombed down some forest roads offered to pull out a Ram but he eventually got unstuck from what appeared to be just dirt on a little incline then I parked on a hill to allow the Ram to have the last parking spot. Then I made a solo summit of Grays and Torrey’s peaks before heading off to bag some pike. Got a pretty hilarious marriage proposal on the hike too.

 

They look like standard flange bolts. Might be hard to find in black, but if you have a small powder coat shop around they could cap the threads and hang them with some wire and shoot black over them. That is if they are yellow zinc like the picture looks. If they are coated in wet paint they would need to be stripped first. They reason i say small shop is the big ones will want to charge you a minimum. usually $300. You could also check Mcmaster-Carr or fastenal. Might have to call Fastenal, their web site sucks!

 

Kindling ready for the next camping trip!

 

Yeah it was bad. 1 year of parking under a tree mod. I am going to pull up the cowl and put down a screen above the inlet

 

Holy crap!

 

Changed out my map lights for some no-name eBayxnay LEDs. Wow they are bright, and inexpensive!

 

Link?

 

I killed two birds with one stone: helped rear settle after lifting and finally got a base for one of the dog pins (.6 tons of crush and run).

 

Nice pics.
We all have the best and most beautiful midsize truck in the world

 

Yes please!
