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

Yeah we don't get much time for mods this time of year unless you are lucky and have a heated garage. I have a growing list of stuff to do once is gets above freezing on a day off. The lack of useable sunlight is also a hinderance.
Welcome to the forums.

 

Nice setup!
Did you configure your shocks with the 16" coils as a custom setup? I didn't see a 16" coil option for the 2.5 DSC shocks on their website.
With the 16" coils, how much lift are you expecting? Do the taller coils avoid the preloading of the coilover?

 

I have the 6" BDS DB Lift, so working with John at Accutune this is what it required.

here is the front Coilover configuration

Bought it, insured it, ordered a mirror that’s wonky for it, washed the under carriage and now I’m looking at rear bumper options. Making a list of pain for my credit card!

 

Made my aux reverse lights strobe today. Wired them in so I can flip a switch and make them strobe or put the truck in reverse and they come in solid. Wanted to make them strobe for my chase lights.

I replaced the blower motor today. I got tired of hearing it squeal. Lubing it up only lasted a few months.

 

I need to do this too. Mine gets really bad at times.

 

welp. no mudding for awhile lol. truck died on the way to work this morning but fired right back up and drove home after work just fine. had hesitation at start up and i found out why

 

We should report you for abuse! Lol… J/K.

 

it was my first time mudding too haha the irony!

 

This is my idea of a seat warmer!

 

I see a snorkel in your future, or maybe a periscope?

 

i need a snorkel now for sure haha. just shows how strong tacoma’s are cause i’ve driving it a good 100+ miles since Saturday with that filter. had no idea

 

Recommend you drain and replace your oil. This will also tell you how much water your engine possibly ingested. Don’t go too far before doing a thorough service or you may end up with a toasted engine. I learned that the hard way with my T100 back in 1990. The engine eventually grenaded itself.

 

Reported for 3rd gen!

 

Busted!

 

Definitely getting one of these for some amber warning lights!

 

Stayed up late lat night swapping ECM connectors. I forgot to order the larger terminal so I’ll have to wait for the stuff before moving the larger wires. There are some wires that won’t be used (mine are in the engine harness), I’m contemplating removing them completely from the harness.

 

I had considered adding a pair of ambers to the rear bar of my roof rack for increased visibility but utilizing my existing lights was a bit cheaper!

 

I was T-boned on my 2010 DCLB in Oct. No frame damage and total repair cost was $10,972 which was $2200 over their initial thoughts after taking off the front fender and they didnt total mine at all. Its a 2010 with 140k on it. The local toyota dealership did the repairs and used new OEM parts cause the other guys insurance kept sending subpar used equipment. Thats including replacing both doors on the driver side. I would definitely fight over it being damaged. My step rail def helped prevent any frame damage. The word Total never came up during the repair process either. It took right at 2months for them to finish it due to having supply issues with the new parts but it also helped me realize i wouldnt want a 2021 tacoma as thats what they gave me to drive.

I was super pissed at the accident site and went off on the guy, He turned out to be a great guy as the cops put down all of his information incorrectly. Had him driving a Jeep Wrangler with the wrong name and address. THe guy also paid the tow company to take my truck to the Toyota body shop vs to the tow yard which is what the driver was adament about. He charged him $200 to go 3miles vs going the 15miles to the tow yard (they would have tried to get storage fee's) by leaving it there. The man who hit me had built the body shop for Toyota and called the head guy who provided me with a rental and waited for us due to them being closed. I had to call an apologize for going off on him. May sound funny, but i couldnt have gotten hit by a better person
