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

Those are dangerous, turn them in to the police and you will be much more safe.

 

Put the final touches on the grill and got it installed

 

Installed the sprint booster this afternoon... . Holy cow!

Taco is extremely "punchy" now... Even at setting #4 (goes to 9)

Sprintbooster.com

 

I like those much better

 

Threw a set of husky x-act mats in after I rebadged them

 

Installed the black friday OE skid plate. $125 shipped was my best score this shopping season.

 

I should sell mine not liking mine but getting some real ones.

 

Where did you score that for 125?!?!

 

Where did you find the badges for them?!

 

Well it’s been “what have you done to your 2nd gen month for me”

Always wanted a Tacoma so I traded in my Subaru WRX for a 2011 Tacoma Trd double cab long bed in the so badass magnetic grey metallic a couple months ago..... then found this forum. The rest is history.

The day I bought her.

Found some 3rd gen wheels and tires for cheap. Love these wheels on the 2nd gens.

Alpine head unit along with getta grip shifter, weather tech floor mats and front window tint to match the rear.



Had to get an ultra gauge! My stock head lights were way past restoring so I went with the spyder led tube headlights. They have been great so far. Zero leaking or condensation and I live in the PNW. Only recommendation I would have is changing out all the bulbs from the ones that come with the headlamps. They are garbage. Also went ahead and changed out the interior lights to leds

Suspension time! Had so much fun installing this kit. Headstrong did a great job putting this package together for me. Bilstein 5100 front and rear along with HS coils and 1/4 driver side top spacer. Dakar medium duty rear leafs. All new bushings, extended rear brake lines. Ended up going with the freedom Offroad UCA’s. So much bang for your buck and more than I would ever need from a UCA. Would really recommend these to anyone on a budget.... only question is who is the engineer that lined up that UCA bolt!? What a pain in the ass!
And here she is as she sits today. 265/75/16 BFG KO2’s with 1.5 inch wheel spacers front and rear. I really don’t want to give up the stock wheels but really like the SCS wheels and would like to get rid of the spacers. Also went with the husky fenders.

As for maintenance this forum has been so valuable. Everything I’ve done I’ve found here. Oil and filter change. Air filter and cabin filter. Front diff, rear diff, transfer case fluids. Greaseing zerks on drive shaft. Serpentine belt, spark plugs. Mass air flow and throttle body cleaning. Just haven’t had the balls yet to tackle the transmission flush.

But for real, thank you all! You are much appreciated

 

It’s that time of year again!

 

Put my ********* mounts in (no more rattles!) And put my ditch light switch in. Waiting for the brackets to arrive.

Ordered mine from him too. Great guy

That is a nice truck. Congrats. Now you need the seat mod.

 

-Pulled both spindles off to have the Total Chaos gusset kit W/Swaybar welded on this week.

-Also installed the ECGS bearing because I was getting vibes from my front end. CV shaft came out decently easy.

-I will finally put on the 1/4 spacer on the driver side to take care of the "TACO LEAN"

-Will replace the driver side sway bar end link when I get the spindles back because I had to cut the nut off.

-Finished the Cab Mount Chop I started 6 months ago. I'm running 265s right now it's in preps for larger tires one day.

-Found out my stock rotors holes where the lugs go through have been wallowing out and that's why I get a clunk when I hit my brakes 1st time, means the rotors are rotating on the hub. So it looks like I'll need new rotors. Time to upgrade.

-All the red is not rust it's red dirt stains. It's a Hawaii thing.

 

Took rob out for his first real trail day in his 5th gen 4runner. He had an INCREDIBLY good time and he is HOOKED. his truck has a spacer lift and 285/70/17 AT’s currently. He made it down waterfall without any issues.

And then we ran into this lady within box canyon who made us feel very uncomfortable. She was a little discheveled & all by herself in a stock newer Chevy Silverado in the middle of the canyon (an intermediate trail outside of town), she was blocking the trail and asked to take a ride in my buddy’s Jeep. I feared the worst (a bait and switch) maneuver where she’d have her group of thugs ambush us to rob us and take our trucks but we were carrying “defensive tools” and we asked her to get out of the way so we could go through.


Never wheel alone & always carry defensive tools.

 

Toyota of Naples had a pretty good BF sale and free shipping. I bought the SP and some OE TRD Mats, $200 for everything. Guys were buying the 17" TRD rims pretty cheap during that sale.
