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

No idea which brand, came with the xspx package. They were paint matched from the dealer

Bought them when I got the wheels from FN years ago. They’re an OEM cap, I think from the 16” faux bead lock trd wheel

 

I replaced the switch. The old master switch only had auto down on the driver's window and only that button was lit in white. New switch has auto up/down and light on all four. I was able to choose the color of the LED when I purchased the switch.

 

Vacuumed enough dog hair out of the back of the access cab to make a second dog... Cleaned up nice though

 

Curious, do you have a 2nd and 3rd gen or just 3rd?

 

One each 2nd & 3rd gen... 2nd gen is daily driver and dog hauler LoL

 

I didn't want to be an ass and be all this is 2nd gen...

Awesome that you have 2! I'm jealous

 

No worries... Was a legitimate clarifying question. I plan on having both for a long time to come... And follow both 2nd and 3rd gen threads for valuable intel

 

For those considering doing a level lift on their truck I thought this would be a good comparison of 5100's and 3rd gen front struts. Top is my (sold) 2016 Sport, with 5100's set at 0.85", and my current 2008 Off Road on 2022 Off Road springs/struts. Both are rear wheel drive trucks. The 2016 sat higher as built. Gives those on the fence an idea of what to expect with different level plans. The 2008 had more factory rake than the 2016.

 

Looks great. Did the same about a year ago.

 

Defiantly know the feeling.

 

Finally got a rtt.

 

DCLB's with a RTT for the win!

 

Turned 60,000 and changed the oil.

 

Wow you're old, but happy birthday.

Incredible you still do your own oil changes at 60,000.

How many miles on the truck?

 

We have one tree, lol. Their usually not a problem.

 

This happened on the 2008 as I was coming home from the grocery store. Fortunately I was close to home and I did not stop. No check engine lights or anything. Just happened out of the blue. It seemed to drive and run ok the rest of the way home. Good thing I already passed the Ford dealer or I could easily be driving a new "Ranger" right now. Small miracle I guess.

 

How well do those clear with your setup, what is your setup?

 

I'm running 2020 off road suspension on my 2014 SR5. Found a new complete take off suspension on Craig's list and my truck was in need at 170k. Made a huge difference in look and ride, so happy with the results.

 

Changed the oil and gave her a bath. 192k and she burns almost nothing, not enough to top off, between 3000 mile changes. Oil is still clean too. Engine just broken in
