    That's a great resource. Thanks for the info. I hadn't found anything quite that good in my online searches.

    Ignition coil problems

    The new ignition coils were about a year old. The connections all looked good and I double checked them after swapping things out. I'll make sure to keep it in mind, but I don't think that's the issue.

    Ignition coil problems

    The other day my truck threw a P0352 code (Ignition Coil B Primary/Secondary Circuit Malfunction). Earlier in the year, I replaced my old ignition coils with RIPP coils but kept the old set in my garage. When the code popped up, I put the old ignition coils back and hoping to have fixed the...

    E-brake adjustment after rear brake replacement?

    I replaced my drums and had the same issue. Was told it would "auto adjust" over time... it did not. I had to manually adjust the drums on the back until I got a good feel from the brakes and handbrake. There is a rubber grommet on the back of the drums that allows you to put a screw driver...

    OVTune VF Tuner | OVTune - Tacoma ECU flash tune options and feedback

    I flashed one of the OV Tunes when the truck was still stock and really enjoyed the tune. After the lift, 34s, and 5.29s I flashed the truck with the new corresponding OV Tune and was hugely disappointed with its performance. Not long after that I installed the Rough Country inline speedometer...

    I'm debating between Deaver Stage II or III leafs for my truck. Their description says a "bed weight" of 400-600 lbs and 700-1000 lbs respectively. My question is in regards to how they define "bed weight". Is bed weight defined as all additional weight added to the existing truck or does it...

    Winter tires -- are they sticky?

    I ran a set of Cooper ATW3, their winter tire, for 2 years/35K miles. They did excellent in the winter and decent of road in the summer. They handled wet roads really well in the summer but got slick when it got a little tougher off road. Their compound was definitely softer and the tread wasn't...

    Tire Size Fitment and Lift

    I've got a high clearance front bumper so there isn't anything left for me to rub on in the front. You may have to do something like the "viper" cut. There are a few videos on here about that particular cut.

    Maintenance Revving at idle

    Lately its been about -30F in Montana. When I'm idling, slowly moving in traffic, or completely stopped my truck will start to rev up to 1500 rpms and immediately drop back down to normal. If I'm moving the truck will lurch forward a bit then go back to normal. When I start moving at anything...

    Tire Size Fitment and Lift

    I have pretty much this exact lift and tire size. In addition to the CMC I had to fold the pinch weld over or I'd rub when turning over bumps. I'm running my caster around 3 degrees on Icon UCAs so if you can squeeze out some more that might help you too.

    Pinch weld

    I've just fitted 285/75/17s on my truck with an Icon stage 4 lift. The CMC and fender trimming is done as well. The last real thing I need to do is the pinch weld. That being said does anyone have any tips on how to bend the pinch weld out of the way?

    What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

    Finally got my lift and new wheels put together. Every single part that I've added to this truck has been done curbside, mostly in the cold Montana winters. Over a couple days the Icon Stage 4 lift and 285/75/17s went on the truck.

    What was your previous rig before your Tacoma?

    I was and sometimes still am rocking a '91 Isuzu Trooper and a '91 FJ80 Landcruiser. Bone stock that Trooper is one of the toughest little SUVs I've ever driven and the Cruiser is a tank. I'll try and find some pictures in a bit.

    Ya, I've got that bumper on my cruiser and it is solid. It's a bit bigger than what I am looking for on the truck though. Thinking about going with a CBI T3. It's steel and has a more sleek design.
  48. haas.evan

    Thanks man. These trucks can take a solid hit. The future definitely holds a steel front bumper with full bar work. Hopefully that will give even better protection.
