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

Not sure if this info helps in this situation, but I had a mirror lense break one time and I broke the rest of the pieces out and made a template out of cardboard that I took to a local glass and mirror shop and they cut a new lense for me the exact shape I needed. I just put it in with some 3M double-sided tape and was good to go. It was fairly cheap. If your new lense needs to be re-shaped to fit, that might be an option to consider.

 

Excellent! Well done! Subscribed....

 

Just a heads up 5100's set on 0" with OME 883's will net you a 1" lift in the front. Pair that with a Wheelers Offroad AAL (remove your overload leaf) will net you 1.5" in the rear. This is the route I went because I wanted a small lift. No vibrations that I can tell of and still retains the perfect OEM rake look.

Edited: I also have the OME carrier bearing spacer kit as someone mentioned above.

 

I would have pulled over to let my heart rate come down. Boy that was close. Kudos to you for actually paying attention to the task at hand (ie. driving).

 

Thanks, and pulled over for that reason too, heart was on the windshield.

 

The OEM mirror lenses can be replaced very easily. Just tilt the mirror all the way up, slide a flat head screw driver in the back, twist the screw driver to pop the lens out. Done.
The aftermarket assembly seem to have the mirror screwed in from the back somehow. It's a totally different style and manufactured differently.

I don't think your method would help me.
A new replacement lens is only $30 aftermarket ($70 OEM), and a new aftermarket assembly is $60-$100 ($185 OEM). All CAD$.

 

I wish someone made 305 75 17 tires.

 

Recently put 3rd gen suspension on and just yesterday upgraded to a set of the TRD Pro Wheels.

 

What type of headlights are those? They look great.

 

Nice! Mine is sitting the same, 3rd gen springs and shocks all around, and OR wheels. That’s a sharp truck!

 

Oil change, other routine maintenance, new pads and shoes with resurfaced discs/drums, and a much-needed bath!!!!

 

how hard was that to install? and roughly how much did it cost? I need to start replacing my suspension and have been considering that

 

So you installed the bearing kit along with the 5100s? I like the stance of your truck. I want it slightly lifted with upgraded suspension like what you've go there.

 

I think I paid $350-$400 for the coil overs and rear shocks and the UCA’s (they were newer, so I swapped them too) + $100 for rear leafs. Only tough part of install was swapping the UCA’s which is totally unnecessary.
If you find some cheap takeoffs on FB or Craigslist, it is worth it.

 

I did 5100s at 0 with 884s and an AAL in the back. Didn't do any bearing or differential stuff. Got 2" front and rear and have no issues with shaft vibration. I absolutely love the stance of it.

Oh man that does look good. Knowing my luck it'll have vibration lol. I don't even have bilstein stock on it now since it's a base model. But I wonder if that affects the drive line angled at all anyway

 

Dpele, it was not OEM but it looks just like an original. It was 35 bucks plus tax. I just went on Amazon.

 

Finally gave in and did it.

3rd gen steps arrived. I had nFab hoops but they really rusted out over a few winters. Hopefully better luck with these aluminums.

 

That’s what I thought but it doesn’t at all. Even at full flex. CMC, pinch weld, and trimmed fenders at the bottom with metal trimmed inside as well.
