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

Installed this bumper from southern style offroad and a winch from RC. need to remount the plate somewhere. Any ideas?

 

I saw one guy mount his license plate to the skid plate underneath.

 

Make a bracket that shares the fairlead bolts so you don't need to drill.

 

Installed Off Grid Engineering Aluminum Battery tie down. One of the quicker installs on the truck, but it is solid.

 

Met up with another member to charge my rear Kong’s with some argon. They’re about ready to go on the truck!

 

Finally scored some of these, fairly cheap to, in excellent condition to!!!!

 

New TSB springs with an AAL until spring when I order the Dakars

 

You’re gonna love the flex you get with dakars and b110. Just be mindful of bottoming out your shocks right now if you’re running stock bump stops. May need to limit uptravel a little bit to prevent that.

 

I can’t wait to try it all out! I’m going to get superbumps and a u bolt flip kit at the same time as the leafs. Rather do it all at once while it’s apart. The truck won’t be wheeled until then either lol. The trails around me suck right now with a thick layer of ice under a few inches of snow

 

It isn’t anything you should worry about man. It’s 1 big bolt. I did mine myself

 

I just copied this from the spec sheet on them, hope it helps!

Bilstein / RCD F4-BE5-B110-T5 Specifications:
Extended Length: 27.28" Inches
Compressed Length: 16.34" Inches
Travel: 10.94 Inches

 

i thought that was for 6" lifted trucks only?

 

X2. The brake lines might make it a slight pain in the ass with the bolt on the drivers side but it’s doable and doesn’t take long

 

3-4”
I’ll be running them with Dakar’s
They do come with the 5” lift tho

 

ah guess it just bolts right on or did you need to relocate the shock mount?

 

Should bolt right in from what I’ve read. I may throw them in tomorrow because I’m impatient lol

 

gotcha i was reading on them and it said you are going to want a bump stop if its less then 4" lift

also i have dakars they dont have 5" lift?

its only 2.75" of lift

 

Crawled under it and finished my 120k service with the differential oil and transmission drain and fill. Took a 1/2" drive breaker bar to get the diff fill bolt loose and then like an idiot I forgot a washer on the level bolt for the transmission and tried to pull it back out to correct on unlevel ground and got a nice stain on the driveway from that. Didn't lose much of the fluid at all, but I'm still going to top it off next oil change (within a week). All things considered though the standard maintenance on these trucks is so easy, dealer wanted a huge amount of money to do it.

 

Yeah I’ll have the bump stops and ubolt flip kit in there before the truck flexes at all, I barely drive it as is.

I meant they came with the rcd 5” lift, sorry I’m tired lol

 

ahh i gotcha was bout to say i have dakars and they dont have that much lift lol
