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

Usually an option if you own it outright. Else, you have a third party with a vested interest in it being repaired properly.

 

I installed a new Stainless steel overflow tank (next to the air box) to get rid of the plastic one. I’m just about done, I just need to install the new intake manifold I reinforced w/ fiberglass and painted “Wrinkled Black” w/ the fuel rails. I then need to detail the engine bay with touch up paint on all the places we scratched doing the swap. For anyone wondering it’s a refreshed GM LS L33 HO aluminum block 5.3 w/ a truck cam. In trying to keep it quiet we installed high flow cast iron exhaust manifolds, TWO in a series the largest mufflers Magnaflow makes w/ a 3” hidden turn down in the stock location. All back up w/ a twin clutch, a wide ratio Tremec TKX, pushing 3.73 Gear w/ a TrueTrec and 275/45-19’s P7 rubber, mounted on 19x9 semi forged Enkei’s. To make sure this all sticks to the ground we installed a set of low pro CalTracs. This setup pushes a 07 reg. cab 5 lug pretty good. The truck chassis now has 37k original miles. Oh, and to slow it down it has a set of two piece StopTech’s w/ 255/45-19 P7’s.

 

well then...

Just under $1k out the door. I have Wildpeaks on my ‘22 4x4 so I went with the Rubitrek on my 2wd.

 

Did the body shop provide a written (itemized?) estimate for the work before your approval to proceed? Insurance companies have their preferred providers, though you are free to get other opinions before treatment.

 

Nope. They did not
