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

Thanks Marty. Good price, look good.

On the packaging, each module is a cluster of LEDs, and they give you 4 per side, hence 8 total. But I can clearly see 12 LEDs in each module. Thanks

 

Update on my Bilstein 6112's. Since Tuesday the truck has settled a full half inch. Looks like the final results is 1.5 of lift on the first setting. The ride is great! I'm having the alignment checked tomorrow. Thanks @Bman4X5 and @HeadStrong Off-Road .

 

Yesterday was awesome. Picked up my truck from the storage unit it has been in for the last two months, and took it straight to Discount Tire to get my bronze SCS F5s mounted on my KO2s.

Then, put my Bullaculla tow harness relocate on, and my Husky floorliners in. And to top it off, drove it straight up to Phoenix to Avid Offroad and Brandon installed my powdercoated sliders. Wooooooooooooooo

pics in a bit

 

yes pics

 

Could you post a link for those lights, please? Sorry if you did already and I missed it. I like the idea.

 

Ditched my OME shocks for some Bilstein 5100 B110. Got three inches more wheel travel and better ride.

Install both sides in my driveway in 30 minutes flat.

Old vs. New.

New Bilstein 5100 B110 installed.

 

So the OMEs were the limiting factor in rear droop? Kinda sketchy...

 

They are Rigid A-Series lights in cool white, high power. I bought them from Amazon. Same with the mounts, from Amazon. However, one package of the mounts comes with 1 15 degree mount and 1 30 degree mount. So I had to buy 4 packages of mounts

 

Shit, you have $250 into just the lights... I'm tapping out. I'll keep using my headlamp and Coleman lantern - intended use was for camping lights.

Actually I am more like $350 in this project. 2 sets of lights at $150 and then 4 sets of mounts at $11 bucks apiece.

 

I've got that into my heated mirrors, so not knocking you for the $$. Just more than I'll be putting into that type of project. They should be great trail lights.

I need to be saving for my lockers - and deciding if I'm going stock or 4.10 gears with my 33s. I want the torque, but I'm afraid of possible mpg loss (getting 18 in summer). First world problems.

 

Yes.

Not sketchy at all really. The OME shock is designed that way so the factory length brake lines don't rip out when the Dakar leafs flex out. Shocks have internal stops, so generally speaking they won't rip apart under normal circumstances.

 

I see, hence the common "over speed bump goes clank"

I have N182 OMEs , but with stock leafs - 3" extended brake lines too. No need for concern here, apparently.

 

Can't wait to see pics...Damn it! youve done more to your rig in a few days than I've done in the last nine months!

 

Got rid of the stock steelies and replaced them with some trd sport rims from a 16

 

Looks great!


I went this route....similar idea.

 

Built and installed a rear storage compartment. Best part is I have one big level floor now. The covering has a flap that overlaps the stock storage hatch, I can just flip that cover back to access the hatch. The center area got a cover that is hinged off my storage box that will swing up and give access to the center storage area that is between the two stock hatch covers.

 

Dam that actually looks good on our 2nd gen

 

wow thats nice, i might do something like that.
