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

Those rims are nice and you made them look even better.

 

bumper looks good!

after the success of painting my chrome grille silver streak to match, I've been thinking about doing the same to my bumper. but I plan on putting a better bumper on it in the future so I may not bother, lol

 

test mount, just 'cause

new rubber goes on this Saturday if every goes according to plan!

 

About time!

 

did my first mod lol, I added a color matched grill

 

New Guard Dogs!!!

 

If I ever do it again I won't remove the rear bumper, it was a complete bitch to reattach, and it's way easier just to tape it off and spray it on.

 

yeah I pulled mine off by myself when I installed my trailer hitch... no fun...

 

nice! I came REALLY close to ordering some TreadWrights, but I found a deal somewhere else on some brand new tires

 

installed this:

 

Thanks a lot. It was really easy.

 

Who provided the double Cardan joint? Tom Woods?

 

tom woods has Zero offerings for Prerunners... but no, its a Spicer double cardon custom built by a local drive shaft shop.

 

^I thought Tom Woods driveshafts are custom anyway? So a locally built one would be just as good if you know what you want.

 

from what i understand tom woods only deals with 1 piece... not an option for prerunners due to the front yolk.. and being that they offer more of a "buy and install" option with little to no measurement ( i could be wrong on the measuring part )

but yes a locally built one can be just as good if you know what you want. i'd work with your local driveshaft shop, but a Double Cardon has solved 110% of my problem.

if you 4w, i would go 1 piece DC at top, call it a day. bam.

 

What problem were you having?

 

8MPH and 18MPH take off vibes... and a nasty 70+ vibe that i thought was tire related but turned out to be the driveshaft.

Nice!!!!

 

When I got rid of my roof rack and picked up some of those ditch covers on the roof (found them online somewhere for $70-$80 each IIRC), I glued them down really good and put a screw through the front of each one of them near the windshield.
