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

Doing my 07 tacoma w/53,000mi., coolant flush & replacing spark plugs to denso iridium.

 

Greased my driveshaft and JBA UCAs today. I also lubricated the inner/outer tie rod ends and swaybar end links with white lithium grease injected into the boots with a syringe. I then cleaned them with some 303 protectant and sealed the puncture holes with RTV silicone.

 

Clean truck

 

Thanks!

 

Good things are coming.
Thanks to @At The Helm

 

Got the roof of the wedge on!

 

how close to the door are you when you roll back out? looks super close to the door

 

I just measured lol. It’s 4” of clearance and I’ve got a 7’ garage. I’m on an OME heavy pack with the 2nd overload leaf removed in the rear and on 295/70r17’s

 

Do not fit

 

Greased driveshaft, changed oil, and rotated tires on my 2013 at 21k miles.

 

Washed it and installed the Morimoto third brake light. Received the cat shield so will install that this weekend.

 

Finally swapped out the blue LEDs for amber & wired/installed the USB port.

 

noticed steering wheel a bit crooked after a hit wheeling
Not by much
Can’t tell if it’s been that way, happened from the hit (blew my bumpstop)
or resulted from swapping to HD springs and moving LF 6112 1 clip higher per instructions for taco lean

truck has some reinforcements but not everything

alignment shop said could just be tie rod out of whack need a little adjustment

Knock on wood hopefully it’s just that straighten the toe and call it a day.

If a bushing is wrecked that’ll go before metal bends and be easier to find so I’ll check that. And compare left to right.
(Hit was left)
Would be hard to see though. Unlike a sedan eating a curb with aluminum arms and taking out a bearing very easy to see.

fingers crossed it’s nothing more than a blown bumpstop and tie rod being off a thread or turn on the nut.

 

Not bad for $73 shipped from Ebay. It has the same part numbers, looks exactly like the Dobinson and Safari snorkels (minus the company name). All the parts are identical to my buddy's dobison and Safari snorkels as well as from the install videos of both of them.

 

Installed fox 2.5 along with camburg uca, new cv axles on both sides along with the ecgs bushing. Thank you old heads for posting your experiences. Made install so much easier

 

Dobinsons IMS installed

 

leaf pack and exhaust chopped, I need bigger tires now.

 

Took all the fluids from my coolant / trans flush to oreilly’s … damn if they don’t take coolant anymore!! So have to make an appt with the city for collection.
