Sure, pickup in Sacramento tho.

 

what did i do to my truck last night... hoping I didn't brick my Kenwood head unit. so ordered a new faster thumb drive in hopes its update will take and no make me pull and send it into kenwood.

 

I need to do this

 

I wandered over to the base today to install

$250 Old Man Emu 2884 Coil

OME 884s, using their lift and spring compressor make it pretty easy job, took about 3 hrs.




the 5100s were set one notch up with the stock springs, I moved it back to zero with the 884s. While it was apart I replaced the top hats with some

$29 KYB SM5640 - Mount Kit

KYB mounts


Added a

$27 Proper Spec ARB FK29 Rear Driveshaft Spacer Kit Fits Toyota Tacoma

carrier bearing drop while it was in the air.


Between the 884s and the HD Tacoma rear leafs I got about 1.5'~ 2" at the front and 3" at the back unloaded, the rear settles nicely with a little gear in the back. The ride is much improved compared to the 5100s and the stock springs.


I have the ECGS bushing ready to go in but it was getting close to 100 this afternoon so I'll tackle that one on a cool morning.

 

Installed a lockable Plano case for my 270 awning walls and meshfloor. Will have to unpack from totes to fit but much better than getting from backseat storage.

 

This is worthy of a write-up thread or it’ll just get buried here

 

Kinda sad to retire these after 17 years but I think I got most of the good out of them.

Trying some of these 3D MAXpider floor mats. Nice fit, good coverage... look good but missing the "rugged" look of my OG's. Great price @RockAuto along with their 5% discount code.

 

No shipping If I pay for it?

 

Yup it’s already been done previously. Posted in there also.

Finished the passenger side with Auto window. FYI the lights stay on and turn itself off after a while.

 

Do you mind the lock/button relocation? I’m actually curious if the position of the unlock/lock button is more ergonomic than the 2.5 switch location

 

Sold out - love to see these in person. How does the back row fit?

now says in stock

 

Yeah, I would have liked to have seen them in person too before buying them but everybody has the WT's. The back row foot wells fit great tho it's snug over the hump particularly between the console & rear seat frame. My '07 front passenger floorboard doesn't have retainment clips but the passenger side floor mat has 2 holes. My understanding is some of the early 2nd gens had clips on the passenger side... kinda bugs me. I emailed the company to see if they have a passenger mat w/o holes but haven't heard back. With the underside having a "velcro" type feel it won't be sliding around thats for sure. The top side has an almost carbon fiber look to it. Overall, I'm pleased.

 

The WT ones are the only other quality ones that I’ve seen besides these. They shot up in price recently & are just as expensive now

 

While it was still cool out this morning I threw in the new ECGS bushing and changed the front diff oil. Once I pulled the axle I discovered the inside wheel bearing seal was toast. $48 later and a trip to the dealer I was good to go. Job went smoothly and the minor vibes are gone.


My budget lift is done, always hated the stock tacoma leafs, even the recall leaf packs. Since I already had the shocks, it was $700 shipped for new springs fr & rear. The setup got me a couple inches front and back and I have allot better weight carrying which was my main goal.

 

idk yet, I'm use to it being up and down but I do like how its left right now.

 

Heh, that's the case I use for my AR-10.

 

Started redoing my rear seat delete.

Ditching the busted cheapo 5/8” particle board and replacing it with 3/4” MDF.







Got the new pieces all cut out and ready to go.

My carpet should be here tomorrow and I can finish em.

 

Redoing mine too. Lowe's has a 6x8 indoor outdoor remnant for $28.00 FYI.

 

Greased u-joints ,lubed uni balls . Pulled this stick out from above the gas tank and this little screw from my tire ( tread block)

 

Sir that’s a damn tree
