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

• Bilstein 5100s front and rear
• OME 884 coils
• SPC UCAs
• Deaver AALs
• Spidertrax 1.25" wheel spacers
• New sway bar links (not planned--stripped the rusted bolt/nut and had to grind off and replace)

Got 2" lift front and rear, which is exactly what I was looking for.

 

Threw the R/F fender liner back on. It’s been off since the snorkel install. Haven’t had the time even though it took about 3 minutes.

 

Beautiful!!!

 

Greased drive shaft ( again ) Soaked the Dakar’s with Krown
Sprayed some of the frame with Krown .
Greased Total Chaos UCAs
Lubed Uni- balls

 

HUGE day. Floor liners.

 

I got my windows tinted yesterday, I did notice a pretty good difference in heat when I got into my truck this morning and while driving around town. Doesn't hurt that the truck looks pretty sweet with darker windows, now that this has been taken care of I better start saving some cash for some 235's tires, leveling kit and maybe some wheels too.

 

because wheels that are cheaper will crack during hard wheeling

 

I'm doing that today

 

Do you have any evidence Rocktrix wheels have failed? Asking for a friend.

 

I have actually wheeled these pretty hard and mine are holding up just fine......

 

I would also like to see this evidence as well.......I have wheeled mine pretty hard with no issues.

 

not from that specific wheel because ive never seen anyone run them. But I have seen it on a lot of other brands, even methods. if your in the middle of nowhere its worth the extra money for a wheel that is stronger

 

those are skinny's that prob why you dont rub

 

That is one wet looking paint!

 

Wowzers! That is super shiny

 

Before I drive 7 hours to help my mom move…. I did a quick rear diff oil change, swap air filter, grease zirks, oil change this am. Man, changing the oil with a fumoto oil drain valve behind a steel skid plate is so easy…


Which makes up for the fact that my passenger CV boot is leaking like a son of a bitch.



So I swapped that out for a Napa spare that I carry on my wheeling trips. Next week I will reboot both oem CVs and get the Napa back in a case as a spare.


Possibly I will also clean off my skid

 

If I am honest with myself, the time plus cost of paint may have made it worth paying for powder coating. But then I would have to factor in the frustration of having the shipper possibly (likely?) destroy the powder coating. Oh well, hopefully I'll get these on later this week.

 

Would this work for key that have a G on it

 

No, you would need something similar to this. Basically in 2011(?) they changed the immobilizer chip in toyota keys. Mine is the "dot" immobilizer. You just need the correct one for your year, and then I'm pretty sure it is all the same steps.
