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

Used my tailgate as a stand for a chop saw as I attempted to cut and install Crown moulding. Thank god for wood putty and caulk.

 

Installed Front OME 884's paired with Bilstein 5100's and a Toytec 1/4" top spacer on the driver side. Rear is GeneralSpringKC 90-297HD leafs with Bilstein 5100's. Gave me about 2.25" all around which is exactly the range I was hoping for. I'm hoping it will settle just a bit.

It's hard to tell it's even lifted unless you park next to a stock Tacoma. If there is any vibration, it's negligible. Ride quality seems just a tad stiffer than stock. Over all, couldn't be happier thus far

 

Pics of molding ? Doing the same soon !

 

I had the same issue. Twice. Took it to the stealership and they replaced them both times

 

Unfortunately the black oxide will be brown from rust in a few months. Not trying to be a Debbie downer, just learned that one the hard way.

 

What all did you do to get that extension to work? Is it removable?

 

Dumped my exhaust right after the rear axle!

 

Saturday I swapped plugs and fixed a vacuum leak in the process. Also swapped out the serpentine belt twice. (First belt came apart after a few miles... napa quality!). And cleaned some crap out of my blower motor after finding that there is no cabin filter in my truck. These repairs made the engine run smoother, the transmission shifts better, the blower motor doesnt vibrate the dash anymore, and there is no more squeal for the first 10 minutes of driving. Also moved 3 loads of brick a short distance. For a truck these dont have much payload. Thank the lord for add a leafs.

 

Rough Country

 

rotated tires........that is all


oh wait, also the everexciting swap brake reservoir fluid out with new fluid too, woohoo!

 

^x2

 

That black gas hole is one way to hide the mess that ends up in there. Nice truck.

 

So whats the deal here new rubbers?

 

Spaced bumps and shock relocate?

 

Finally installed my lift kit this weekend. Went with front: Nitrochargers w/ OME 884 coils and / rear: Deaver U402 Filthy Stage 1 w/ Nitrochargers. I forgot to measure first but it was supposed to be +2" front and +1.5" rear. And the new ride beats the snot out of the stock suspension, I LOVE it!

 

relocates, was going to put in air bumps but my hands were shot after all that grinding

 

So credit where credit is due, @0uTkAsT is the one that figured it out.

-Basically you just undo the snap ring that holds the pin in to secure the base plate.
-Swap out the HF pad with the pro eagle pad, which can accept the extensions.
-Reuse the HF pin to secure the pad. Its a little undersize so there is some play in the head.
-To take up the slack, go to Lowes and get yourself a 1 inch washer from the loose hardware bins. I found it had the exact thickness needed to make it rock solid. I believe the washer part code is 10643. Should be a 1in ID, 2.5in OD, 3/16 thickness washer
-Sandwich the washer between the pad and the jack assembly. Insert the pin back in. Mine was misaligned just a hair ~1/64 of an inch after the new washer. a love tap with a hammer got it through.
-Reapply snap ring
-Celebrate with a beer

 

Freaking genius. Do you have any idea if it will work on the harbor freight 3 ton steel jack?
