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

Installed the black Depo taillights and ordered the TRD Pro 4runner wheels in anthracite.

 

I don't know what stores are in Canada. But any home store should have it

 

I found it at Home Depot. What else should I do to clean up my back seat? I don't have a garage as I live in an apartment and it will be 25C + tomorrow. I am debating driving to my parents to use their shop vac to clean at least some of it out.

 

Well dampraid take the moisture out of the airs so put that in the truck all closed up for the night and then let it air out tomorrow if it doesn't rain. Shock vac would help too. Don't be surprised if you get a moldy smell from the water.

 

Stores that have Damprid here are closed so that will be a 7 am pickup. Probably buy a few to go overkill on it. Here is hoping its hot as hell tomorrow to help dry things out.

 

One should be good. Well depends what size they have. I had eater go into my car I use to have and it was puddles front and back and lived in FL. Dampraid helps a lot.

 

I know the Lexus GX 470's had a transmission clunk which felt like a bump when coming to a stop. They had a factory fix for that. Does it feel like your tranny? Any lurching after stopping with the bump thing?

FYI: Not saying this is the problem, but just a symptom..:

My lurches forward from time to time. Always thought it was normal

 

Mine only lurches forward when I hit the gas... It shouldn't lurch without applying gas...

 

It does it when the Rpms change to idle. Idk I may have the dealer take a look at it

 

I used to buy and sell seats from junkyard cars, to clean them, the process went as follows:
Pressure wash
Purple cleaning spray
Scrub with hard bristle brush
Rinse with pressure washer
Let sit in sun till it looked dry-ish
Edit: use shop vac to dry excess water
Little bit of febreeze.


Most of the time, the seats came out looking brand new again. And if they had the smell of wet dog or mold or anything beforehand, it came out. So worst case scenario, just take out the rears and do this. (We had a different yet similar system for leather seats, as the purple cleaning spray can take off dye if you leave it on too long)

 

It is your rear springs. Does it feel like you just got bumped from the rear? There are threads about it on here. Normal with factory springs. I wanna say it is "axel rap"

 

I thought it was my carrier bearing assembly dropping down. But that only happens on 4x4's.

 

I also heard that it was from axle wrap.


Changed the oil today with Mobile1 and reset the light.

 

Made this seat belt blank yesterday. No more chime when my dog rides shotgun.

 

Yes. So if I change leaf springs it will fix it

 

Great idea right there.

 

Yes if you get a better non OEM set. I went with the Iron Man lift and haven't looked back since. Not only did I have the axel wrap but I also had the tendency to have the rear end want to come around under heavy braking/emergency braking on the highway. Both issues were fixed with the Iron Man install

 

Got the Philips Daylight 4 LED DRL kit installed and working on the ARB.





Pretty neat piece. I do wish it was a little brighter as it tends to wash out in the super bright sunlight, but it is a neat unit as far as the way it turns on and off based on battery voltage.
