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

WTF

 

The infamous bench seat swap for buckets. Been wanting to do this for years, got a deal on two 2014 SRS seats for $300 and they tossed in the rear seat storage that I'll install soon as well. Getting deep cleaning next week and they'll look amazing!

 

Mine looked the same when it fell off.

 

Fresh alignment.



Knocked the upper ball joint out of spec a couple weekends back.

Finally got around to resetting everything.

This was the first time knocking a ball joint out of whack on the SPC’s in over 100k miles. It’s always one of the LCA cams.

 

What did you do with the Pelfreybilt?

 

That's a sweet alignment jig, did you make it yourself or buy it?

 

I was under the impression that you had to set alignment at ride height. This makes it alot easier.

 

Not today, but last weekend did the locker anytime mod. Tested a few times this week so far, and it still works! Sorry for crappy picture. Its not burnt

 

Toe plates and camber bubble came from Amazon.

It is at ride height.

There’s a jackstand under each LCA right next to the ball joint.

The rotor is blocking it in the picture.

The jack isn’t supporting anything.


At ride height with ~2.75” lift, the tapes will go under the factory front skid and they just cleared my trans skid.


Not sure how you’d fair on a factory set up. The front skids would definitely have to be removed.

 

hey I ordered them from spotter mirrors they were on sale. The highlander or sienna mirror were 50 bucks less but 3 week special order from the dealer. No return on special orders.i checked everywhere for something local. No luck. I still haven’t received my mirror lenses due to ups sending them around the world lol. I would recommend finding something local if are from Canada. Been a pain in the butt. Duty/taxes etc.

 

Replacing the drive belt, changing the oil, and rotating the tires. It's got 264,009 miles today. I hope to see many many more.

 

finally got the 5 wheels sitting in my living room wrapped in some fresh rubber and put onto the truck. She looks so nice without the clearance bin black wheels the previous owner put on.
Love the brushed copper from SCS.

 

White LED ^



Yellow LED ^

Stumbled upon these neat fog lights that you can switch from white LED to yellow by turning them off and back on within 5 seconds. New to me so apologies if this is old news to anyone else haha

so you have 2 colors that neither are in focus do to the 2 separate emitters
and Fogs are only supposed to be used in bad weather were Selective Yellow is far better than nuclear write at penetrating through the foul weather

 

Got the Scangauge 3, this thing is a big improvement from the 2.

 

I put a 3rd gen offroad axle under my 2014.

Focus is actually pretty good for the price; photos don't do it justice. And yeah, this was the purpose of getting something that could produce yellow, for foul weather as having white LED before this install did nothing for me in bad weather. Thanks!

 

thanks I ended up getting this instead to make everything super easy to wire/install and troubleshoot if needed.

 

Did you have to do anything special to have access to the Trans Temp????

 

Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Same thing, just requires a different approach and a little more work.
