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

Installed my Rago bed channel stiffeners yesterday and got to use my new

$115 Milwaukee m18 Cordless Lithium-Ion 6-1/2" Circular Saw - 2630-20 - ( MILWAUKEE ) - BARE TOOL

Milwaukee m18 fuel 1/2” impact to take out the bed bolts with ease.
Replaced both rear most bed bolts because the heads seem to have been screwed up when the frame was done.

I’m hoping to put my RCI bed rack together next weekend then ordering an ARB tent

 

Installed the remaining two power tank monster valves in preparation for finally getting these balanced tomorrow.

 

That look on his face “ surely he’s not mounting these to my carrier his he” .

 

He was staring at my wife like “is....is this going to roll over me?”

 

Need help bad... was replacing my spark plugs.. one was stuck bad so I brought out the breaker bar to dislodge it. Accidentally snapped the vent hose nipple off... can anyone offer some guidance as to what my next step(s) are.

 

If it were me (be forewarned I do some stupid things) I'd tap it for an insert like this:



And maybe throw some epoxy around it when seating the fitting just for good measure. If done carefully you probably don't even need to tap it, just let the fitting cut the threads as you screw it in.

 

Rewired my light bar and ditch light switches so the backlights work properly now. I wired both illumination wires together from the switches and used an add-a-fuse circuit to tap into the taillight fuse. Now I can see the buttons in the dark.

 

I would buy some plastic 5min epoxy.

 

Well, a whole new piece is about $300 so I doubt you want to do that.

I like the suggestion above about using a brass fitting. Or JB weld/epoxy the nipple back on.

 

Damn. Your truck is sexy. those 35s?

 

Moved the Tacoma out of the way to lift his older brother.

 

Has any one done the rear disk brakes form trial gear or sos performance

I really wanting to upgrade and would like input. on how hard to install, how much better the braking performance is and is it worth it

 

So I'm going to replace the pads and rotors in the next few months. I'm going to use OEM rotors but was considering using Bosch AM pads. They're about half the cost of OEM but I don't want to sacrifice braking

 

Personal experience with a 2013 dbl cab prerunner. I have a 3 inch lift with 33’s on their. I’d say any higher than 3 inches and you’re too high. I run 285/75/16s and have no problems with rubbing or clearance and I push my rwd beast like it’s a 4x4. If you’re not going to go crazy off-roading and will just be taking it into dirt and stuff I’d go with not too heavy of a tire, ( an 8-10 ply would do ) and from my MPG loss I’d stay around the range of a 17 inch tire and don’t go over 33in.

 

this truck shines in winter.

went to grab a two stage to clean up around the shop





Threw a strap on a couple of low rides to get 'em unstuck.





And last, from a member here who never had the chance to install them....

Wet Okole FTW

surprised how well the two tone matches the interior.

315/75/16. Not a true 35 but close lol

 

Your progression of switches is exactly like mine.

 

Nice! I like the trucks for icon images.

 

To me your truck looks lifted more than 3 inches.

 

Wheelers Progressive 3-leaf AAL installed. Sits much better now. Wife could not see the difference lol
