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

Niceeeeee. Just got did the same thing off a local guy around here. One of my favorite mods. NO SLIDE

 

nice, and looks good! I got a “stall mat” from tractor supply and cut it, It covers the hole bed. I have pic in my build if anyone wants to see it.

i got it for $43 a lot cheaper than the OEM one.

 

Rolled these from outside to inside garage...install friday

 

had to get my brother to jump my truck after dieing at the gass station. O well time for a good battery a little earlier than expected though.

 

Might there be a flywheel problem going on there, the ring gear? Did they check that?

 

haha, I did the same thing a week after getting my truck. got a mat out of a full size Chevy and sliced it up with a box cutter (total pain in the ass because MAN that thing is thick...) fits like a glove though!

 

on paying it off!

Could be a damaged flywheel on the Celica, or the gear spacing wasn't set correctly when the 2nd and 3rd starters were installed.

 

OH, I almost forgot. I ordered my 4th TX Pro wheel from Camelback Toyota Parts, super excited about that! Going to be wrapping them in brand new rubber, the type of which shall remain a surprise I will say that they're 265/75/16 though

 

Mine was stolen out of the bed of my truck last year

 

added a new Century cap to the truck. windows w/ screens, roof rack, tilt out front window, full glass rear door, bed rug on order and should be in early next week.

 

I yanked my screens out./ No real need for them. I think a fan in the bed is a more practical thing.

 

I wanted them for my dogs, I think they'd like some airflow.

 

I agree they WORK, but I have ridden in the bed on a mild day. The radiant heat from the bed, road and lack of real air flow really was getting to me in there.

I had the front slide open & both side windows. It really was an un bare able 45min ride. For the dogs, crack the windows open enough for them to stick their heads out and stick a wooden dowel in the tracks so it cannot open any further.

OR get one of these in its various forms to promote ACATUAL air flow back there.

Ride back there once it gets warmer. Even at night. It was horrible.

 

Holy crap, no wonder my '95 Suburban with the leaking TBI got better gas mileage than you do!

 

Same thing sitting in the back of a police cruiser. It gets stuffy quick

 

My GF said i'm not allowed to get another car yet lol..was thinking about the BRZ.

I was considering trading in about 8 months ago for the updated 2012 face, but the dealership offered me 12k trade-in off the bat..guess i'll keep it or sell it private party later. Jest waiting for the title to come in the mail

hard to say about the flywheel, it looked ok from what i could see. I did the work myself, changing the starter took maybe 20min?



a few of the teeth looked a little chewed, but only a few.

the previous starter had shaft play when the gear would extend and spin.

dunno if i've just been "lucky" with pre-mature starter failures or if my car is really chewing them up...

it's been a little strange. that this starter up and quit on me without warning, but the one previous was back and forth.

 

Now I can't fall a sleep.

 

What's he get? I get 15 avg with a similar set up.

 

First mod- NFab Step Bars (installed during a snowstorm).
