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

Honestly I was just making a dad joke. Looks badass!

 

Looks like you have 4Runner Pro rims? What tire size are you running?

 

Are you at ground?

 

Fedex Santa stopped by while I was at work. Dobinsons heavy duty springs and bushing kit.

 

Yeah. We have a 150lb limit. Bulk items suck! Lol

I delivered a hidden hitch bumper & winch once to a turd gen owner on my route.

 

Theyre actually Fn Fx wheels that are a similar style. Running 285/70/R17

 

A desperately needed wash and changed the diffs, t case, and trans fluids. Almost shat myself when the hex key in the drain plug on the front diff started to slip a little.

Ran out of oil when doing the front diff so I hope full synthetic Fram and Valvoline

$30 75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75w-90 mixes well. Only used about 1/4 quart of the Fram.

Trans and T case got the good Redline stuff. Found it weird my drain plug on the trans had no magnet or crush washer. Just took the crush washer from the fill plug and I’ll replace it sometime. Letting the truck sit overnight to watch for drips, but I torqued everything to spec so I should be good. Gotta admit, never really used a torque wrench before and everything felt kinda lightly tightened on there.

 

Tuned my cb and saw this on the highway.

 

How did it do? Looking to get one myself. Also which size is it? Thanks

 

It's the 1000. It's been on for 2 days (I did turn it off overnight last night) and down to about 65%. I'm going to leave it on overnight (I didn't realize you're supposed to discharge them every few months) so I'll run it down to empty and plug it in. My sdhq terminals will be here Thursday, and then the AGM can go it, I have a 100w solar panel to install, might just get a second one, and run the fridge off the AGM and use the solar to keep it topped off.

The Jackery is fine for me, I got it from a friend that liked the Goal Zero stuff better because you could stack them on each other, stupid handle is in the way on the Jackery, and the new Goal Zeros have a ton of cool features. Is it worth $1000? Idk. You could buy 2 AGM for that and have more capacity, but I'm using this for other stuff too and didn't want to do an inverter.

 

I appreciate the response. Looking to get one myself and can’t decide which one is best.

 

Depends on how much you want to spend and what it's for. The Goal Zero 1500x has remote monitoring with power output, etc, so if you're using it to backup your house or other things, you'll be able to monitor it from anywhere. Plus it has a 2000w inverter which will power most hand tools even. If you're like me and just need decent wattage and a significant amount of it, the Jackery is great. It also has 1 more AC outlet than the GZ

 

Nice! I’m with express so it’s usually envelopes and Nike boxes

 

Just had the driveshaft, u-joints, and carrier bearing replaced under warranty at the dealership. She rolls nice and smooth again!

 

Nice, really just 1 to 2 night camping trip is all me and the family will do so probably don’t need one quite that size.

 

It’s definitely sturdy. It’s 1/4” aluminum , but the front and back edges on center section were put thru a press brake to keep it rigid. The 2nd gen Tacoma’s already have threaded holes for handles, so it bolts in tight.

 

Bought these lights a bit ago. Really like the look. eBay specials the same exact ones that they sell on Tacomabeast and Carid but cheaper.

 

Did you find that the wheel spacers helped with fitting the 285s? I have 5100s with OME 2887s, and my 275/70r17 Falken Wildpeaks are rubbing on me. I have the same FN wheels.

 

Took her out camping. Also really wanting to pull the trigger on a prinsu

 

Installed my SPC upper control arms and 1/2” headstrong offroad top plate spacers. Just got the truck back from alignment it feels like a completely different vehicle. Should’ve done SPC‘s from day one had I known better!! 78,500 miles purchased with 7 all stock! Time for some new wheels and tires
