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

Thanks man, having a manual is a must for sure.

 

For gits and shiggles please elaborate how 381 horsepower Tundra is less powerful than a 236 horsepower 2nd gen or a 278 horsepower 3rd gen. Its comparing apples and oranges.

 

Got these in today for the Spyder/Tcmabeast projector headlights. I did the ultimate headlight harness upgrade over the summer so I should have the power to take full advantage of these puppies.

 

After owning several Tacomas I can't even compare the power of a 2nd and 3rd gen V6 Tacoma. 278 hp must be measured at the catalytic converter. Seat of the pants says the 236 hp 4.0 has much better power, and low end torque, than the 3rd gen 3.5. That is why, after 5 years of searching for power in a 3rd gen, I let the 2016 go in favor of 2 second gen 4 liters. I did not invest in a "tune" because a bigger better flowing exhaust and a cai only provided better throttle response. In my honest opinion there is no real power in that Atkinson cycle failure of a 3.5 V6. The Camy has more power with the "normal tune" on the 3.5. I would not compare the Tacoma to a Tundra.

Trimming time

 

A jigsaw makes that job super easy.

 

I don't have a clue. It was very obvious the Tundra wanted to get away and couldn't. Horsepower to weight? Gear ratios available? It wasn't the drivers inability to shift a manual transmission because you can't get a Tundra with a manual transmission. Not a clue.

 

Yeah that would a lot easier but don’t got one lol

 

Officially have a tailgate swing out! Mounted up the tire, gotta make a jerry can holder and fold down table on the backside, but my spare has a home now

 

A body chop saw or a dremel work really well too.

 

Took the 4 wheelers out this weekend and ended up getting some compliments on the taco! We just came back from riding and there was a group parked much too close to my truck as they got their gear together. When I pulled up one of the guys said "That's the way to do a truck, small lift, little bit bigger tire, nice bumper with lights, and that's all you really need". I have to agree since all the big diesel trucks with bro dozer wheels were spinning and nearly getting stuck in the sandy parking lot and I cruised right on in and out without any drama. #TacoFTW!

 

Installed Weboost this weekend! Man really does help with signal! Got it for basically half price too! Well worth what i paid!

Tests are with it off and on. Tested twice. Couldn't pull up anything on internet and then with it on could load YouTube no problem!

 

Got the Prius mounted, Drilled into the roof and totally worth it

 

Damn, that's a significant improvement. How and where did you mount the antenna?

 

If you're looking to have a wrenching party I'd be interested. Got ADS coilovers/struts sitting around for awhile now. Icon RXT leafs arrive january hopefully. I live in Richmond and have a good sized driveway with only a slight slope!

 

Gonna use my dremel to clean it up later but for now no more rubbing lol

 

I would love to see some pics of this Prius mounted on your truck.

 

Paused looking for a larger head unit and just bought a motorized car mount for the phone.
