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

So.... I replaced my passenger brake caliper yesterday that was sticking and compared the basically brand new brake pads to the drivers side. Theres about an 1/8th of an inch difference... Wondering if I should replace again or just let them even out? It is pulling to the left when braking however I did not bleed the system yet.

 

Just picked her back up from Frame Recall, 209K miles, New Frame along with new steering, thought I might as well get a new suspension since the install was free.

 

A little fog light upgrade...

My stepson is using the traction bar that's bolted to the rear axle as leverage and his strength to show axle wrap. The front of the traction bar isn't connected to anything in this video. ABSOLUTELY INSANE when I consider he has no where near the strength that the truck's V6 has.

Ive had spc cam bolts for two years on my truck no issues what so ever.

 

Re-painted my lower grill support with some VHT Gloss Black. I know I know, I need to calm down.

 

Sorry late reply. I went with these since i was able to get them at a great price. My. Sidebars just came in and am debating if I install it or return it. I have my eye on this to lift and remove an XL rooftop tent. Debating which is needed more. Do I really need the side bars to stabilize the rtt?

 

Just curious...what's the weight of that tent?

 

165lbs i need to raise the bars to clear above the cab so its pretty tall.

 

Anyone from Utah know of a website to check the roads outside of Capt Reef and Escalate? Looking for road conditions and trail difficulty. Going on a trip in March and would like to have a heads up on some of the roads/ trails out there.

 

Put my RTT back on, wishing and waiting for warmer days.. especially with today pushing -30c.

Installed Bilstein 5100 rear shocks, and Icon 1.5” lift rear expansion leaf pack. Waiting on TDotPerformance to correct their shipping error on OME springs so that I can install the front 5100s.

Also some Fabtech UCAs.

 

Installed from the Cali Raised Site, Mountain Hatch tailgate today. Came with just 4 longer bolts, think I got them right. I may just change it all out with new hardware, who knows? Like the look, we will see if it holds up.

Here is my rig in new member section, lots of mods, some reviews:

The best thing this mod did for me was to save my old tired knees. Besides using it for camping...etc.

 

Installed some DD SSC2 sport flood lights on my Victory roof rack for cargo lights. Gotta figure out how to angle them down a bit since they point approx 10 degrees up.

 

tailgate cap is suppose to go over the panel.

 

you should do em both at the same time

 

Nice job, I'm surprised, you would think they would angle down.

 

The lights themselves are flush mount. The rear fairing of the roof rack is what’s actually angled.

 

these look good, where did you order yours from?
