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

I temporarily mounted the under hood fuse box so I can determine the length of the wires going in to the cab for the switches.
I got the length and added 6". Today I'm going to paint the edges of the hole that I drilled larger for the new grommet.

 

What all am I missing on this actuator? Is there supposed to be a pig tail of some kind of?

 

Personally I would, but I’m also crazy for buying dumb things for cars.

 

Not what I did to it, but what my new boy did IN it...

 

Plan is to upgrade to that size and did not consider re gearing unless I’m throwing a harrop elocker. But if I had money he’ll yeah I would!

 

As far as offroad mods go a rear locker is good, but having front and rear makes it unstoppable. Especially with skids/sliders/bumpers. Even with basic 265/75/16s and a away bar delete it would be extremely capable

 

Pulled all this shit apart





I was able salvage all the hardware for the new hitch surprisingly.

 

That my current combo, when I said the harrop I meant the front but then I’m already sourcing parts for the doubler. Check my built i started as a Prerunner DCSB with rear locker

 

Will do! Maybe I’ll even see it around sometime. I’m in 1000 oaks!

 

Hell yeah dude! Love pedals n pints by the oaks.

 

I really like that. Plain and simple yet looks really good too. I see they have a long version that covers the chrome shaft of the shifter, however the only description available to buy that I can see is the short version. Do you have this shift knob?

 

New rear
Also added new shocks, a front locker, oba, another battery for my fridge and boxed the frame
Going 4.88 for my 37s

 

My truck goes to Stellarbuilt soon for some goodies! Love that shop and that wild 80 series. That thing is always in there.

 

Here's a better shot of the rear shock mount Stellar made for me to keep the lower mount above the bottom of the axle tubes

 

that is beautiful! I wish I was more skilled to fabricate, but if i was id also be way more able to build horrible things

 

I’m dropping my truck off with your garage!

 

What gears would you recommend & how much do you think it would run me?

 

Not yet, but I also have my eye on his battery hold-down, after purchasing two fob cases and a set of four climate control knobs (keeping the fourth for possible addition as the transfer case selector later). Adam's instructional videos are a "must watch" if you consider these products. Quite a personable guy!

 

Got new shocks rear, new struts front and new steering rack. Done by a mechanic but needed at 170,000 miles.

 

For an automatic I would probably go 4.10, 4.30, or 4.56 depending on a few things
how true to size the tires are since all brands are different
How much armor and what it’s made of
Engine modifications if any

it cost me around $3500 for the front and rear with an arb locker + small G2 compressor in the front installed and with a lifetime warranty regardless of tire size

not really sure if that’s a good deal or not but my options were limited at the time
