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

Replaced front door seals with new part number.... supposed to stop the kazoo noise when on highway with cross wind.

 

New UCAs...

 

Prepping for 6 weeks on the road, leaving saturday..

Mollie rack for more stuff..


tires rotated and balanced, finally got the death wobble out of whichever one was out for the last 5k miles..




Got more power for the fridge setup.. Ecoflow and 800W alternator charger..

 

Had a couple leftover lights so I put them in the bed. Put one on each side up front of the bed.

 

Got the timing cover and valve cover put on the new engine. Also have some more replacement bolts on order; some of the used ones are pretty rusted, and if I'm doing this much work I'm not going to put rusty bolts back on lol

Side ask: Does anyone know how to easily remove the FIPG from the oil pans aside from razor blade scraping?

 

Looks good, I’m in the same boat with the size upgrade as im due for tires this winter. Just to go from my current 295’s to a 35 is a ton of work plus regearing, etc.

I borrowed a buddies 35 just to see how much work it was going to be and instantly got a reality check lol.


Full lock at ride hight.

I am debating doing a jd pivot kit over the winter but staying 295 to gradually over-build for 35’s

i can also still pull 14L/100km(16.8 mpg) on road trips.

 

Pivot kit or high caster LCA’s. Neither are cheap lol

 

You are right 35's and especially 37's are a ton of work but so worth it! You should totally do it!

I drove on my 35-in MT's for 11 months before switching to 37's.
Got them for sale here in Cali
