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

Derped the wheels

 

Archive 2.0 kit. I modified it a little.

 

Cannot speak for them as of yet, but in light snow they did pretty good!

 

Not yet but probably should make one.. Probably make a Revkit and link it here for build

 

Alpharex Pro Chrome's from Tacomabeast and Cheap Amazon Fog's adding DRL and turn signal feature.....FIRE!!!

 

Looks like it is almost time for a beefier skid

 

Ya. the class 4 roads in Vt are in rough shape. I should be better now that I went from a 31 to a 33 inch tire.

 

Almost the same thing I just put in my truck. I love mine so far, they really top the truck off. Good looking front end man

 

Thanks hembreee…bout to add this too with Tacoma etched in

 

I've been looking for those LED backlit grilles, finally found one I like on Facebook. Waiting on my wheels and tires for now though before I do anything else major lol. I need to find a paint matched grille bezel and get rid of the chrome one on mine LOL

 

Installed the Spyder headlights from Tacoma Beast last week.

 

This guy doing mine matches paint. I will keep you posted and share pics when I get it.

 

installed some used Deavers Stage 2. scored these from a cool ass dude on instagram. i got about a 2.5" lift with these. def leveled out the truck nicely. and man do these feel and ride nice!!! worth the money for sure!!



Before and After

 

Any more pics before the install? Shot you a DM as well

 

Muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh better

 

Made a shovel and snow brush holder Bc I was too cheap to buy one.

 

That works! And probably a lot cheaper!

 

what were you on in the rear prior to the Deavers?

 

Just finished changing diff and transfer case fluid along with greasing the driveshaft and doing another application of Fluid Film. I dont know how long its supposed to take but it took me 5 hours. It also took longer because the previous owner stripped the front diff fill plug so I had to hammer the Allen head in but it came out after that. I'm guessing it's been a long time since the front was changed because it was jet black or looked like used motor oil where as the rear diff looked amber colored.

After all that it coasts much better, shifts from 1st to 2nd smoother, and accelerates much better.

 

Made it to an important goal today. Truck has never let me down. Only major work done to it has been when the frame was replaced under warranty in March 2017.

Only had one other vehicle that made it this far. My 1992 Chevy S-10 Blazer made it to 280K before I traded it in and got $ 100.00 for it. Body was rusting in all the usual spots, exhaust system was holy, front suspension was a joke, door handles were held on with drywall screws, rear window hinge was broken and patched together, AC didn't work until you hit 100MPH, valve stems seals were replaced, Multiple fuel pumps, new alternator, both front wheel hubs had been replaced by 100K,replaced blower motor switch due to small fire, at least one water pump, rebuilt tranny at 176K (expected that), 4 wheel drive quit before 200K, drivers window would not roll down, and I am sure I have forgotten many other things. Despite nickel and diming me to death I never had a problem with the 4.0 V6 - it ran like a clock while everything else fell apart around it. I drove the truck to Richmond and back couple days before I traded it in - I trusted it. I drove it for work and I drove it hard making laps around the beltway. Also hit a good sized deer with it and it got mildly rear-end twice at the same stop sign.
