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

How do you like those Kings, what spring rate you running?

 

I don't know the rate, I should pull the number off the coil and check.
It's this item though, with the "adventure tune"

I love em. Truck rides like a couch when full soft, and when adjusted firm it's compliant but more responsive. I don't run a sway bar.

 

I like these a lot

 

Mine 09 with 130k miles still gets 185 PSI every cylinder

Per my mechanic, this guidance is right that was posted.

 

I'm going the opposite direction. Those LED's in the tail lights go out and are not practical to replace, so back to halogen's for me. Cheaper for me in the long run. I hope yours lasts though.

 

Replaced the stock front bump stops with Energy Suspension universal stops, P/N 9.9125R. My Bilstein 6112 have 20k miles on them now, I took my sway bar off when installed and thought it felt fine. The springs have settled now and I’m hoping this helps a little with body roll in the corners, enough at least that I don’t want to put the sway bar back on and lose the off-road benefits.

 

From the factory they come with 600lb springs which can be swapped. So unless you ordered a specific rating, I'd assume they'd be 600s.

 

Yeah they were cheap enough to make what you say true. I'll update if/when they fail...

 

Matt Gecko bed lights. The instructions were easy to follow and well written. I should have done this a long time ago.

 

Finally built my bed drawers. 3/4 plywood with a few coats of Herculiner. Pretty happy with how it came out. First time really working with wood so don't judge the terrible cuts lol

 

Looks good

 

Changed oil in my 2011 Taco, Mobil 1 and OEM filter….

 

Is that the warm or true white?

 

Looks like toyota AC drains get routed through subframe. This passenger side behind wheel? If so, 100% ac condensation

 

100% solid compression numbers. Its not about max or low. All 6 cylinders are within 2 psi throughout.

 

That would be warm white.

 

What leaf pack are you running? Lots of weight back there

 

Yup, already looking for solutions. Going to run a longer hose and keep it away from the frame. Ill take a grinder to that part, clean it up and paint it

 

Finally installed new 4600's on the front and new OEM rotors and pads last week. Not too bad of a job and the spring swap was the easy part using my hobo fright tool. Today went back under and hit the U joints. Flex hose FTW on the front shaft.
I do have a couple of questions. How much play should the center bearing have? And I would like to grease the splines. What type of grease for that? And is the rubber boot available? Toyota oem parts not showing a part number for just the boot.

 

you know i threw on a rubber glove and got a needle for my grease gun tried to tuck it up under as best as I could with the drive line extended out and then just ran it back and forth a few times , and hoped it was enough... probably looked a bit dirty under my truck if anyone had passed by
