209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

finally joined the 2nd gen taco club

 

What did you end up getting? Year, bed length, so on

 

2011 DCSB TRDOR. I’ll be honest...this one is bought not built...my 3rd gen T4R will be my main monkey wrench project if I keep long term.

 

What are you guys up to this weekend? I actually need to head to Yota1 to see if I can snag some parts off my T4R. Would be cool to say what’s up and shoot the shit.

 

What day are you looking at coming up?

 

Welp Yota1 is closed weekends so probably today...just haven’t mustered up enough energy to leave yet.
Plus I need to give them a ring to see if I can swing by and take some stuff off.

 

First order of business for the 2nd Gen. power steering flush. DIRTY AF.

 

Fun times were had





Had "a blast" this weekend.

 

Is that last pic Jason Statham???

 

I was thinking he looks more like Sean Connery

 

Second order of business. Stronger compressor...the 88p wasn’t going to cut it with these 35s.

the size/weight difference between the two compressors is INSANE.

Compressor fits perfectly in the large area near passenger side firewall on the 2nd Gen. Thinking of making a mounting plate and hardwiring it in with a pressure switch.

 

Nice wheels!

 

Thanks man, they rub on full lock on a part of the UCA. Thinking of either adding a .25 spacer or swapping these out with something else. Or is that just what I have to live with when I'm dealing with 35s?

 

Super jealous.

 

Let’s see the rest of the truck. 35s sounds good to me, that thing have gears and the works?

 

I’ll text you!

 

Showed up on my memories on FB from 2 years ago. Mod Day... good times!




The white truck is that dude Hookgrip. Pretty cool guy, wonder how he's doing. Said he was getting ready to be a nomad and basically live in his truck for a couple years.

 

That was a good day, and the following day we put pinstripes on all of our trucks.

 

I think you ment...

"and the following day Matt's dumb ass put pinstripes on all of our trucks"

 

Next up...replacing the clock spring. Airbag light was on and no horn (didn’t realize how much I wanted a horn for dumb ass drivers). Got an OEM part from Madera Toyota and arrived within 1 day.

Clock spring must have been replaced at some point in time...part I took out was definitely not OEM. Was a cheap piece of junk.
