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

15k on mine and i love them

 

I got four Kicker KS600's from Crutchfield for $81 shipped, including adapters and harnesses. Replaced the stock speakers (non-JBL), which I have to say are not worth a crap! Unreal how light they were when I took em out. Don't speakers have to have magnets?! Still have the stock HU for now, but the sound is so much better already. No more of that boomy muddy sound. Sharp and clear!

 

Put in rear diff. breather behind gas door, changed oil, had a little water in it and a some metal fiber on magnet, 30k on her so far. Great truck

 

painted skid plate

 

1/2" driver's side spacer is because you sit there? So you want to compensate for sag in single person situations?

Just asking cause I noticed my stock tacoma was lower on the driver's side when parked. I guess it's just those 150k miles. I doubt they'd engineer it like that, right?

looks sweet btw

 

Looks great. I've been wanting to paint my skid plate for a while. I think this is my next project.

 

yep to compensate for taco lean. driver side has gas tank and battery to deal with

 

Finished up tinting all my lights with a tint I got off ebay, finished up plasti-dipping my center caps too.

Tint on headlights should last until I do the BHLM or buy some projectors.

 

O.K. let me figure this out you have a total of 1.35"s lift on the drivers side and 1.1"s on passanger side so your truck should be level in the front because of the taco lean. TSB in rear. Your are running 285-70-17 titers on this amount of lift with spacers. What kind of rubbing do you have ? I have a 1.5" spacer lift that I want to put on with 265's and I have been told it would rub to much I also have spacers for my stock sport wheels. I have the same truck as you including color but mine is 4x4 . I like the tires how are they working out.

 

he has more than 1.3" lift. Eibach at .85 setting with spacers gives average a full 3" or more of lift. i have the same setup but 1/4 spacers on each side and they have settled to 3". YOU will RUB with 285s it depends really on the tire. i have open country a/ts and they rub only the fender corner in the front. I had to take off the front flaps as well

 

Who told you it would rub too much? You don't even need a lift to run 265's. You wouldn't even need the wheel spacers.

 

So the Eibach's actually give a lift at the lowest setting.

 

Sorry I ment 285's

 

yep they give 1.5" lift at the lowest? not sure? they give the 1st gens more lift tho.

 

OK. That's completely different. And yes, I believe they will rub like a mofo with just 1.5" lift.

 

just bought an almost new roll up tonneau cover today, will put it on tomorrow.

 

Oh didn't know that.

 

I have a subscription to 4wd toyota owner magizine and in the july/august issue on page 42 they did a tire test for they new bf rugged terrain they were 285-70-17's on 17x8.5 vetec 326 wheels don't know what backspace they used they come in 4.75bs or 5.5bs.They used a 2007 trd sport with no lift they said quote "they have plenty of room to stuff on our stock non lifted 2007 trd'.

 

iPod interface!

 

Hit a coon with it. Bitch sat in the road until I got right up to it then it moved. U felt a bump and that was it. 50 points right there
