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

Ordered this today. Tired of my stock antenna whipping off branches when driving down narrow forest/logging roads.

$35 AntennaMastsRus - 21" Black Antenna is Compatible with Toyota Tacoma (1995-2015) - Spiral Wind Noise Cancellation - Spring Steel Construction - Stainless Steel Threading

But that’s how you know if you fit in parking garages! It’s like a feeler. (Of course with my hi lift and box mounted to the roof at the moment, I don’t fit in shit!)

 

I created an install thread with a link to the rack system & price. I paid under $600. The price has increased. You could try other retailers.

I have the bars as far back and forward as the tracks allow for a spread of 38".

I clear the the parking garage at my work with my canoe on my rack....with plenty of room to spare.

 

That's a good looking truck. It gets pretty bad some years over here in Spokane, but not nearly that bad haha. Every place has its ups and downs. My truck has looked like that after a trip to Montana and back.

 

Is that a direct fit for 2nd Gen? Been looking for a new one too

 

I believe it is, yes.

 

Been a stressful year so finally just said F'it and escaped for a weekend







Got home and went and put bigger tires on the camper

 

Thanks man!

I believe they decided not to mainstream production of them because they felt they’re money was better used elsewhere rather than to keep producing a product for a past generation when the 3rd gen population is only going to keep flourishing. I got in on a group buy a few others of us on here were able to persuade Relentless to engage in. And before that; I’m pretty sure they just ran a test run of them. Not many people have them which I like ... It is a perfect bumper and far superior looking to all of the other low pros (My Opinion).

 

Glad you were able to get away. I'm about to that same point myself.

 

Fox shocks on all 4 corners and SPC upper control arms that I scored off another member on here. The rear is currently lifted with firestone ride rite airbags, but I picked up a bigger leaf pack that I will be swapping in soon. The bags are pretty rough off road...

 

Thanks. She’s getting better and better. The salt looks like that on my truck nearly every day in winter here. Last year I fluid filmed and didn’t wash her a ton. This year I’m just going to go through a car wash every week I think. One more winter here for grad school then back to New Mexico, where I will take her apart piece by piece and de-rust repaint etc the hell out of her. Man I hate it up here...

End rant.

Ps. I did make it up through Washington last year on an epic west coast road trip. Beautiful state for sure.

 

Damn. The garages here are all 7’ or 8’ with occasional 6’6”. With my hi lift she’s 6’10 1/2”. I’m a little nervous in the seven footers. The box is quick release so that’s a bit easier.

 

Where abouts is this? I'm heading to Colorado 3rd week of September for a camping trip.

 

Just installed some new wheels from a Lexus!!! I like these better then the venza wheels. Loving it

 

You may want to ask ur car wash owner/operator if they re cycle any water and if so from what part of the cycle in order to be sure ur getting clean water thru out the process. If they recycle you may want to ask how they clean/ process the recycled water to ensure ur not getting salt or other contaminates back etc..

 

Cool truck I like it!

 

I'm generally not a fan of lowered trucks, but that looks sharp!

 

Thanks. Just bought a turbo manifold to start playing with. Super excited!
