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

Did you do the UCA install yourself? I am doing my full suspension hopefully within the next couple weeks and am worried about that part of the install...

 

Good info, thanks. I shouldn't have any problems with that, the tank is still the lowest point in the system and at the lowest outlet I have a drain cock fitted to allow for condensation and debris to be cleared from the tank. Between the filtered inlet on the ARB and the way I setup the loop it works very well for accessibility in such a tight space.

 

how much more down travel then the standard 5100s mine are blown out in the rear and dont want to buy kings right now lol

 

Yupper is a good looking install...just a thought from old work days that crossed my mind....after many years of drawing reviews for various systems old habits are hard to break...

 

Replaced the spark plugs. Forgot how miserable it is to do the driver side plugs.

 

No, I wouldn't trust myself enough. I've had all my suspension installs done by people on TW. Seeing that you live in SoCAL check out the regional sub forum and there are at least 3 or 4 different members who do lift and suspension upgrades.

 

Do they also sell tail lights to match?

 

Installed this bumper from southern style offroad and a winch from RC. need to remount the plate somewhere. Any ideas?

 

I saw one guy mount his license plate to the skid plate underneath.

 

Make a bracket that shares the fairlead bolts so you don't need to drill.

 

Installed Off Grid Engineering Aluminum Battery tie down. One of the quicker installs on the truck, but it is solid.

 

Met up with another member to charge my rear Kong’s with some argon. They’re about ready to go on the truck!

 

Finally scored some of these, fairly cheap to, in excellent condition to!!!!

 

New TSB springs with an AAL until spring when I order the Dakars

 

You’re gonna love the flex you get with dakars and b110. Just be mindful of bottoming out your shocks right now if you’re running stock bump stops. May need to limit uptravel a little bit to prevent that.

 

I can’t wait to try it all out! I’m going to get superbumps and a u bolt flip kit at the same time as the leafs. Rather do it all at once while it’s apart. The truck won’t be wheeled until then either lol. The trails around me suck right now with a thick layer of ice under a few inches of snow

 

It isn’t anything you should worry about man. It’s 1 big bolt. I did mine myself

 

I just copied this from the spec sheet on them, hope it helps!

Bilstein / RCD F4-BE5-B110-T5 Specifications:
Extended Length: 27.28" Inches
Compressed Length: 16.34" Inches
Travel: 10.94 Inches

 

i thought that was for 6" lifted trucks only?

 

X2. The brake lines might make it a slight pain in the ass with the bolt on the drivers side but it’s doable and doesn’t take long
