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

It's been quite the undertaking but once it's all dialed in, it'll be worth it, I think. Honestly, it's for the cool factor because my OEM system was working just fine. But damn do those dual sticks look cool.

 

I must admit, looking down at my own single stick just isn't the same anymore.

... and are you running a new seat/seat cover on the driver side?

 

He's a cute little feller, isn't he.

That's my butt cushion. Makes up for the sub par seats.

Gives that extra bit of comfort without adding much height.

Trimmed the second leaf on my dakar pack. Dang leafs messing up my shackle with all the added travel. Also gonna be putting in another add a leaf to make the dakar the 96r plus pack.

 

looks great. not gonna lie, there's just something about the second stick that adds to the cool factor lol. in addition to being more reliable.

 

that looks nice and not too sticky

i mean if it will look better than this after a day or two in the dirt i'm sold lol

 

Had the 'add a fuse' already, 5 minute job, totally tits, thanks...

 

Did you trim it in place? If you did, did the lead above it get scored at all? Or did you take it all apart? I should check and see if mine are are doing the same thing.

 

flexed out the rear end and then stuck a prybar between the leaves to fan it out more so when i cut through i felt it and didn't keep going. Plus i was very careful. Didnt have to take the leaf pack out.

 

do you think you could fit a twin stick in that same area?

i route mine through the small cupholder and ive been looking to relocate them...

got a link to bobbing your bed? It’s on my to-do list

 

save yourself the headache and ditch the dakars

i love my 63's

 

Definitely, I think it would be even easier actually to fit twin sticks than the single J shift.

 

Good to know, do you have a link to bobbing your bed as well?

 

yea thats the plan going with some dobinsons but they are on national back order and ive got more important things to spend money on at the moment. Ive got plenty of flex with my current setup archive hangers plus 12inch relocation so not really trying to go with 63's

Thanks, looks great. I’ve done it on pickups but not on a taco, what’s your bed length at now?

 

Same length as a shortbed, I cut out 14”. I did that intentionally so I could put a softopper on it. Which worked out super well but I’ve since switched bed setups.

 

Sweet, that was my plan as well. Only issues I might run into is that I have 63’s and I think they sent a little further back

 

Yeah I’m sure they do. My frame is cut so it butts right up against the leaf hangers. Even then, you’ll still be able to get a good chunk off which makes a huge difference. I went from a 26° to a 45° departure angle.

 

Nice... I am thinking about doing that this weekend. If it would stop raining.
