What have you done to your Tacoma today?

[OU81taco16]

Mastercraft x2. About 5500 lbs with it full. It actually pulls well. It was a little unstable and hitting the bump stops without the bags. Much better with them. With the daystar cups they make a slapping sound that’s driving me crazy, so I’m putting cabinet rubber stoppers with 3m tape on the bottom to see if that shuts them up.

I installed the heaviest Dakar pack they offered and empty it was 4.75 inches of lift. Throw on my Leer 180 cap and all the tools , recovery gear, fishing gear sits about 3.25 inches of lift. I got the heaviest load front springs for a winch and bumper. I ended up getting a Fab Fours Rear premium . Might match the front with a FF premium. Or the centerline winch bumper that won’t offer any additional offset corner protection.

I could get a nice fat surface on the inside for the nut. Not sure yet if I want to paint them or powder coat.

Looks like mine with the black and gray, I’m thinking of painting mine in hyper blue and leaving the ring black.

Do both sides at once to save time and reduce mistakes.

Use really long pliers to bend the sheet metal.

Ratcheting wrenches would have saved hours.

Other than that, take your time and enjoy the project.

View attachment 20215 How about what was done to my truck today. WTF, why even leave a note at all? I think I would have been less pissed without it!!

Someone probably saw it happen so the person faked a note with contact information. Or he had a passenger with him.

Yeah seconded about the ratcheting wrenches. Makes it way easier to take off those top 3 nuts.

Wow. Those are really dim. Still looks kinda cool.
I changed mine out first thing to LED. It makes a huge difference.

Any maker of led’s you would recommend? I’d rather not waste money on dim ass leds again
