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

Exactly…

 

My roof nest shell just started peeling like that too. Is that a spray in bed liner then?

 

Yep! Correct. I let the pros do it. Ran about $450

 

Super easy install. Whole oil change and install took less than 20 mins. Only issue was the oil filter was spun on with the intensity of a thousand body builders.
Running Restore and protect 5w-30 for 1k and will see how it looks.

 

Today I removed the sway bar, removed a couple of unneeded brackets left over from the previous owner, pulled out a bunch of speaker wire from the previous owners subwoofer, installed my old light bar, ordered a few light harnesses and switches.

I'll be picking up some weather techs and cali raised brackets and a prinsu style roof rack this week. All facebook market scores

Yep, bumper options for the early 2nd gens is kinda limited on decent looking options. This has been one of the considerations for doing a 2.5gen front swap.

 

Lol, I doubt ill even get enough to cover my debatable, but i mean shit if insurance gives me enough

 

Perfect day for it! Swapped out the 3rd gen leafs with 80k on them for fresh 2023 take off leafs. Also threw on the 1/2in blocks that were used on the 3rd gen trail editions (PT82A-35220-SS). Went from 22-22.25in hub to fender to 22.75in in the rear. 5100s replaced 3rd gen TRD OR Bilsteins. Think I should’ve sprung for 5160s instead of 5100s though.

 

Just shortened the wiring or removed the subwoofer completely?

 

Did you do the retrofit yourself?

 

Question. What shocks, or more importantly, what shock boots are those in the rear? I think mine are too short and constantly pull off even when driving on city streets.

 

Sure did. With some help

 

the previous owner removed the sub and left the wiring. I yanked out all the wiring since I dont want/need a sub

 

Bilstein 5100s with the stock boots. You can remove the zip tie and adjust the boot.

 

Mine doesn’t have a zip tie ??

 

Pull yours down and zip tie/ hose clamp them in place?

 

A zip tie? In this economy?

 

You can get fancy and use a stainless oetiker clamp. Get a pair of end nipper pliers from Harbor Freight and dull down the cutting edge with a file, works the same as the specialty oetiker tool.

 

An economy joke? In this economy?
