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

I have to do this soon. I have the TC gear all welded up, just need to have them burned on. Did you do this yourself or have someone else weld them?

 

Changed rear driver side axle seal at 149,811

 

New battery terminals and 0awg ground

 

I did all the welding myself. I'm not the most experienced with welding but seemed to turn out pretty good. Instead of using the cams to clamp the tabs down when tacking I just used vice grips and made sure everything was straight. Other than that total chaos instructions were very helpful. Welded and aligned the truck before lunchtime lol

 

How big of a worry is ripping my bumper off while winching? The mounts aren't super heavy duty looking. Wondering if I needa invest in bamfs reinforcements

 

Wheeler's Super bumps up front.

 

Spent yesterday replacing the spherical bearings and misalignment spacers in my ADS front coil overs. Then took today to give a much needed wash and wax.Be Safe All...

Changed the oil, washed her up and had 265/75/r16 toyo open country rt trails installed yesterday on black rhino shogun wheels, looks badass my wife said

 

Went from E rated 265/75 R16 Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws to P rated Yokohama Geolander AT G015. Found em used but like new on CL. After relocating, I mostly drive on pavement... The ride quality improvement is drastic

 

I would think for recovery you need reinforcement. That’s way they recommend.

ARB comes with it. Don’t know if other brands they throw them in with it or list to get separate.

 

Guess I better get some bamf stuff otw

 

Tailgate is weak relative to the bed/bumper so if you have to tilt something really heavy out out it’s better to remove the tailgate than bend it.

 

Long shot question. Back in late 2014 I bought a set of wheels and tires that supposedly came off a 4runner. Didn't question it as they had the correct bore, bolt pattern and Toyota center caps. I have never found exactly what the wheels came off of. Never saw this exact wheel on any other vehicle.

 

Judging by this site, looks like a rav4 wheel.

 

how was it? thinking of doing mine but have major doubt on my abilities..

 

New 33" Cooper XLT shoes!

 

No 6 lug wheels on RAV4's

 

Welp, that place got it wrong then

 

That is the closest I ever found but only 5 spokes/lugs. Been trying to figure this out for 10 years. Every time I see a picture of my old truck I try to identify those wheels.

 

This looks eerily similar to the first pic I took of my truck
