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

Yokohama Geolandar G003 mud tires in 255/85R16. They visually seem a little narrower than the Dick Cepek Extreme Country they are replacing in the same size. Wheels are SCS F5 16x8, 0 offset.

 

yeah, my friend helped me install my winch, and his dad worked for warn for years, and was on their demo team and been all over the world when they do shows or promotional pictures etc. told me all sorts of weird things about my bumper and told me i was likely going to need an adaptor or an offset fairlead for a synthetic cable.

 

The red silicone boots tore after a couple years on my truck. I guess it depends on the angles and possibly what they’re exposed to. I now use OEM. I hope yours last longer than mine did.

 

Sold a couple days ago. Got a a Nissan Armada as a replacement. Family is growing. This forum was great and is one of the better ones. The Armada forum sub par compared to this one.

 

If I had seen that pic a month ago I wouldn't have had my cap color matched. That looks nice.

 

Thanks man!

 

Added some 4Runner wheels I got for $190 off Facebook, and a set of cheap wild peaks for the time being! Love the new look so much!

 

Loaded up for this weekend. First trip out to Silver Lake Sand Dunes for Prerunner Invasion Meet Up.

 

Best of luck with the Armada. Join the FB groups. My wife since covid has owned a 2013 QX56 (QX80 before name change) and is the same as an Armada. It's been a real pain for three years but we might finally be past that. I wouldn't own one again after this, but if it treats us well for a couple more years I'll be happy enough

 

Swapped out my long boi mud flaps for some shortened flaps from @p_chinnici (thanks Pete!)

I think I will like the look of these better. The OE ones certainly seem long now that I’ve put these on.

 

New shift knob. King rod end



And yes my steering wheel is falling apart it's wrapped with tape.

 

i like that, feel it needs to sit a bit lower on the shaft though, wonder if you could bore it out and then get an insert to hold the threaded end.

 

I sent it down to @fatfurious2 he had one his buddies to the fab work on it. It actually doesn't bother me being a bit taller. It is a longer rod end. I know they make shorter ones. And I believe @fatfurious2 has the shorter version.

 

I have a shorter one.

 

It weighs a noticeable amount less than stock so doesn't throw quite as nice, but I think the difference is trivial in a truck. I like the way it feels and it seems well made. It's a nice feeling to have fresh contact points when buying a used vehicle.

 

How much does your buddy charge to bore it the shifter diameter? Been wanting to do this to a fox rod end.

 

Off with the Winter Boots

On go the Summer Shoes

 

I do have a second rod end but it's the long version just like one in my truck. It's has some scraps on it since it came off of another members king suspension. I had two of them made in to a shift knob. If anyone is interested I'm asking 100$ shipped.

 

King rod ends are 7/8-14. We got a 2" bolt, and he put that on his lathe. He charged $75 for 2, and we supplied the bolt.

Auto shift thread pitch is M8x1.25
