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

Yeah the 885’s were great when I had the stock bumper on. I think I went through low range offroad for my setup and I had them assemble them and add a spacer to the driver side setup.

 

New (to me) SPC uppers, upper and lower ball joints, outer tie rod ends, sway bar delete all happening tomorrow. 295 nittos and alignment on Sunday

 

Ordered a 3 rod holder from Amazon (Berkeley), bent up some aluminum, added some 3/8 bolts, lock washers, washers and put it all together using the t-things for the rails. Now just going to bend and attach supports to the bottom to keep it from bouncing around. Really happy with this since I fish a lot. Later on I will paint them black to make everything match.

 

Someone gets me. I’m bilingual. 2nd language is sarcasm.

 

where is the best place to get the magnetic drain plugs for diffs and tcase?

 

I believe oem are magnetic.

 

This is one of the biggest negatives I have with mine currently on top of my cap. I'm only 5'10" so its a heck of a stretch.

 

Before and after:

 

Ohhhhhhh....

 

You definitely have issues with 3rd gens. Lol

 

Lol!

 

Sold the cap when I bought the truck and discovered some rust starting under the plastic rails. Spent the last few days Sanding, blasting and painting them, finished off with spray on Bedliner.

overall happy with how it turned out, well see if/how long it lasts..

 

You have a link to this exact grill ?

Scored some oem predator side steps off fb marketplace

 

That looks great! I’ve been debating how to treat my bedrails if they’re too scratched up when I pull the plastic off to mount my wedge camper. I won’t know for sure until I sell my cap and see how bad it is underneath but I’ll have to keep this in mind!

 

The moment before cutting.... no going back!

 

tell me about your spare mount please.....

 

I have to reinstall a set myself.... tell me how Your Install/Removal goes.




I have to find a weekend when I can not get myself into the Dogg house doing the swap.

I had a new set, that 2 summers in, are "squeaking" (new x-axis design thing....) anyway, Solid good company SPC is(!) they Warrantee'd me, and sent a new set to me. My labor though....

I have new (Long ass bolts) coming from (online Toyota....) planning to cut the ones in there now, because they are original and have 239k on them.....

 

Sound deadened above my sunglasses/compass thing. I know this won't have any affect on the sound, but i did this to hopefully reduce vibration in the rearview mirror when theres bass. Also put a clear Command Strip on the back of the microphone, because it was just clipped onto the headliner before, and would dance around when I'm slappin bass. Also these plastic trim tools work great for rubbing on the sound deadener in the tight spaces. Put 2 layers of this stuff where there was room, and I'm wearing gloves because I was cleaning the surface before sticking this stuff on.
