    ARB bumper install?

    does someone have the install instructions they can scan and e-mail me for the ARB on an 02 taco? I have read several on-line (Scott's for example) but wanted to see the original too... I really need the list of bolts since my bumper was used... TIA

    Protecting your rights?

    As I understand it, both Photobucket and Flickr reserve the right to sell/give to others to use, your photos posted on their site. I was looking into this so I could start posting pictures on this site again (still can't upload) but losing the rights to my photographs is not worth it... thoughts?

    should I install just the front?

    OK I am leaving on the Trans NH trip Thursday morning. I have bought the OME lift for my 02 DC, but UPS lost one of my rear springs. Should I install just the front and use my Firestone air bags to raise the rear (until level) until the rear spring arrives? I know the bags will/can raise the...

    Letchworth State Park

    A long weekend camping trip to celebrate my daughter's 18th birthday. I have been to the park before, but never spent the time just exploring around. Letchworth State Park, renowned as the "Grand Canyon of the East," is one of the most scenically magnificent areas in the eastern U.S. The...

    What to do?

    What makes sense? I have a 98 4rnr 148,000 miles (wifes) and 02 dc Taco 73,000 miles (mine) I live in a rust belt part of NY and drive twice as much as my wife (I drive ~3k miles every 2 months) OK the problem - the 4nr needs rear suspension. It's hitting the bump stops! I had planned to lift...

    Sealing a truck cap

    I just put my cap back on my DC Taco and can not stop it from leaking. IThe cap is a Ranch brand and is all fiberglass, even the bottom rail. I have now doubled the foam sold at Lowes for caps and used 6 clamps (on a 5 foot bed) and still have a leak. I do not want to silicone the top, since I...

    Stupid muffler place... (chat)

    I drove my wife's 98 4rnr after rotating the tires and noticed the wheel shimmy at 55mph. So I make an appointment to take in for an alignment. I tell them the tires have some uneven wear, and I want to fix that before putting on snow tires for the winter. They just called. - They said the tires...

    AT cooler and winter?

    OK, I should have researched harder before but.... I have an 02 DC Taco and put in a AT cooler (Hayden) before a trip this summer hauling a U-Haul trailer. Seemed like a smart idea, but now I am reading about cold by-passes and the like. Mine is set-up going through the stock (radiator) cooler...

    Installing Trail Gear sliders

    Has anyone install them on the 01-04 DC Tacoma? The instructions say to cut the pinch weld... is that good for the longevity of the truck? Since I live in the NE, when I cut the pinch weld, what steps will be best too prevent rust? Thanks Jay in NY http://www.trail-gear.com/instructions.html

    15inch rims on 02 DC Taco?

    My 02 DC taco came with 16 inch rims and 265/75-16 tires. I have a set of 90ish Toyota 15 inch rims that I would love to make my off-road rims. I know they would not fit on my 98 4Runner due to the front disks. But the Taco brakes look much smaller. I know I could always take off the tire and...

    My new 02 double cab/intro

    Hopefully I was able to post a picture of it today in the snow. After drooling after the DCs since 2001, I finally found the one I wanted. Stock except for the Husky Liners, snow tires/rims and ARE bed cover. I plan to leave it stock since I live on the wrong coast for expedition get aways...
