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

I just ordered my prinsu, how long did it take to ship out for you? The site currently shows a 2-3 week lead time

 

Depends on the tire. Few actually measure in at 32".

You forgot the sledge hammer.

 

May have gone a little over board but now there’s no need for the OEM bed cleats. 21 D-rings, don’t mind my dirty bed...lol!

 

I'm considering this size on my factory sport wheels. Looking at a 2" lift with bilsteins and springs from headstrong too. Anyone running this size that can comment if they have any clearance issues requiring trimming?

 

I think I know where my refund is going next year.

 

Ordered AJT dash control knobs going the replace the china knobs.

 

Thanks, I was kind of shocked how much I liked it once it was on. I was just looking for something to cover up some deep scratches in the replacement bedside.

 

How do you like that bumper and where did you purchase if you don't mind me asking?

 

Patience.

Don't worry, I had none either.

 

OK, I'll bite.
They look great!
What D-Rings and how did you fasten them?

 

A few things I've done nothing to exciting kinda hard to climb around and do to much after back surgery. The red paint is a factory Toyota color. Barcelona Red. The knobs for hvac and 4X4 controls are from AJT design why pay for red anodized screws when you can paint them red yourself. The oil cap I found on ebay. And Meso map lights. The antenna was from Amazon the shifter is one from Auto Zone I think.

 

Thanks man I like it a lot. It’s Body Armor I got it from Amazon very beefy much better then the chrome stock one! Pretty easy install much easier with another set of hands. Here’s the link

Finally got around to doing a few easy mods.

Tailgate mod

Seat lift mod

Soap & water mod

 

I got the D-Rings off of AliExpress, used the stock torx bolts off of the bed rails.

 

Today..........took Gilbert to the shop....changed out front coils....

Recently added ARB bumper & winch...approx 195# total extra

Sagged down from front coils 1/2" even with the 5100's set on 3rd notch

Soooo a quick order to Marie @ HS OR...OME 886's to replace stock coils

Had the 5100's lowered to the -0- setting......rides great.....

Rechecked the height on front...was 36.5" at wheel well......now its 37.75"

Pic is prior to 886 coils....

 

Took the new decals up winter camping. They really add great traction in the 0 degree temps. Ha.

 

Ok, so a couple of weeks ago I bought and installed new speakers for my son's car (I drove his car and was like WTF, these speakers are blown lol), so I just went on Amazon and found 4 Rockford Fosgates for $80. I was jealous of how much better it was, so I ordered some for the Taco, but through Crutchfeld, because it included everything and was $20 more than what I paid for his, and it was just speakers.

So, they came in a few days ago and it was super easy and it sounds so much better. I'm old, so I don't need anymore than this lol. It's crazy how cheap the factory speakers are.




I can't believe that the magnet on the Tweeter is bigger than the woofer lol

 

I was thinking it was probably Body Armor. Do you have any side shots that show how far it sticks out and fits to the truck bed?

 

Hey, what are you using for that license plate? I'm in the process of ordering the ARB bumper. Front plates are required here. Is that an ARB accessory or something else? Thanks.

 

My ARB came with a fixed front license plate mount standard.
