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

Installed my USOffroad bumper and winch. Also made some brackets to keep the light bar somewhere in the front end of the truck. Choose to mount it just below the Toyota in the upper grill. Now that I am adding lots of weight I didn't anticipate adding when I bought my lift I am doing research on front suspension replacement. Currently on 5100/887, full skids, sliders, and now 120lbs of bumper and winch I am seeing some sag. Only at about 1.5-2 inches of lift (21.5" center of hub to fender) which isn't super bad but want to stay close to 3" to keep rake at a minimum. Would love to go 6112/650lbs but don't know if I can swing the extra cash compared to OME 90000/886 and maybe doing a spacer for lean. I am worried with the weight up front the 887's are going to be too soft and get boaty or nose dive too much when I brake. We will see how driving goes this week.

 

Weekend trip to Smoky Mountain National Park. Pro tip, stay away from Gatlinburg.

 

Stopped at that same pull off about every time I am in the area, even with nothing on the trees the view is amazing. Take the bypass around Gatlinburg if the main drag is bumper to bumper or its solid with people.

 

What headunit are you running? Looks great!

 

My first mistake was booking a lodge in Gatlinburg for the night haha. Next time I’ll be staying in a cabin around Cherokee. It’s closer to where I live in SC anyway. Gatlinburg has gotten crazy, same with Pigeon forge.

 

Ive stayed in pigeon forge a couple times. Once the week of Christmas and once first week of December. night and day difference between the two for pigeon forge. However once you get down to Gatlinburg it hasn't mattered its always bumper to bumper.

 

Thanks, here is the unit I have.

They don’t sell the model without the volume knob anymore. But it’s essentially the same unit.

 

Cleaned air filter and changed oil/filter

 

Changed out the studded duratracs for my 33 stt pros but found out my pass cv joint is gone bad grease everywhere.

 

Yay!

 

Added some headlights. Still not done. Always tell myself a few more things and I’m done… and then i think of more things I want LOL!

 

Years?! I cant fathom buyihg something i dont need in the moment

 

I tend to do that, and sometimes even change my mind after a bunch of time passes and sell the new stuff on here. The hammer hangers where a gift from Christmas 2018(if my memories correct), and the Icon setup has been sitting since mid 2019, Deaver springs just arrived. I look at it as a good problem to have!

 

Never. The engine, transmission and differential are all original.

 

THRB Install
Somehow broke the cover tab a while back, better relocate this now before I break the whole harness.

 

Bought some iron

 

I had this kit sitting around the house for awhile and finally got some time to install it. Raptor style lights.

 

Buddy of mine helped me build my subwoofer box this weekend

 

Cleaned up my wiring a bit and now I can remove my fuse box cover without getting unnecessarily angry.
