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

Im pretty sure im just gonna pull the driveshaft and take it to a driveline company and just have new carrier bearing and ujoints put in and shaft balanced. I dont think i need ujoints but might as well start with new ones just torn on weather i want to grease ujoints or be lazy and get sealed ones

 

Got tires mounted on my newly powder coated FJ Cruiser wheels. Gotta say, I am excited on putting the lift on in a week or two.





Had the center caps repaired and powder coated flat black.

 

Did you get the wheels on the truck yet? would like to see how they turned out.

 

Lights were from Amazon. I ended up returning them because after the seller replaced on of them at no cost, the replacement stopped working. So ordered a different set from a different seller and they arrived broken. now waiting on a another set. All these headlights reuse the factory bulbs so expect output to be the same. I did order a set of LED bulbs to replace, if I ever get headlights housings that work.

 

Simply drove it for about 75 miles running errands. But I thoroughly enjoyed it!

 

What am I looking at here?

 

What is that?

 

Looks to be a diesel heater.

 

As above...it is a portable diesel heater. I was going to go the buddy heater route but that way uses propane which creates moisture. The diesel heater is a very warm dry heat.

 

Gotta get the skins and TPMS switched over, I'll post pics when I do.

 

It looks like you have enough trimming of the fenders now, as long as you have already done the cab mount and pinch weld the tires should “fit.” I work in NoHo, I’ll keep an eye out for your truck, I like the steelies!

 

They claim to add hp and improve gas mileage

 

Is going into 4WD on the fly a thing with 2nd gens? Been to scared to try

 

Yes. Our Part Time 4WD system is capable of being dropped into under 50mph. Slower is better only because it's easier on everything.

4Lo still requires being in Neutral and keeping the speed under 5mph so as not to tear it apart. It's still a crawl gear. But 4Hi is variable.

 

What do shock rebuilds cost you ask?

 

Just put in an order for Stage 3 Deaver U402. Now I need to decide on rear shocks too.

 

Outgear Solutions High Clearance rear bumper arrived thanks to @JuanitoBonito! Thanks again man!!

 

Your welcome!! Enjoy!!

 

Tire rotation, upon removing wheels decided to check everything, well gotta rebuild a CV axle, ECGS bushings and a tie rod more maintenance less mods boo!!!!!!!

 

Replaced the carpet floor mats with WeatherTech All-Weather mats. I'm glad I went with these rather than the FloorLiner--less expensive and more than adequate (for me) protection.
