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

Gotta love the beer mod! One of my favs!

 

Put these in my fog lights to match headlights. Nice white color with no blue and not blinding people.

 

Awesome! Enjoy the Tundra powerhouse!

 

Thanks, I think I will like the 5.7...

When I changed my oil. I put clear tubing on the spout under our 2nd gen oil filter spill catch . I ran it down to the bottom of the frame So no more oil leaking on my radiator or frame

 

Isn't that how everyone does it? I take it off after I'm done.

 

what about putting a solo cup and putting under the drain hole.

 

I just wedge a styrofoam cup under it and leave it there. Just remember to take it out when I'm done.

 

Solo cups are for booze

I'd forget it

 

True.

 

I took my Taco to Ken Towerys several weeks ago to install my 5100 struts, once the weather cleared (almost 2 weeks) I decided to rust proof my frame, as I was doing so I noticed grease all over my passenger front wheel and all the suspension, after searching for the source of the grease I found the CV boot had been punctured by a screw driver, long story short they agreed to replace the axle due to their mistake. My issue is I don't think they used the correct axle, the boots don't look right and from all my looking neither does the inside of the axle (not sure what that part is called besides the housing. is it just me being paranoid? Or am I right that they used the wrong axle? Seems it should look EXACTLY like the one that come off.
first pic is of drivers side OEM axle boot, second is of the axle they installed, the boot looks too small, seems that would matter if I am off road and the suspension articulates to maximum.

 

Looks like they went with an aftermarket instead of OEM.

 

Definitely aftermarket & looks like the inner boot is stretched a little, it could just be were they put the clamps?

 

should go back. suck it up and use. or suck it up and use while I order OEM and put an OEM back in it... the wimpy boot concerns me. I always use OEM, especially when I read reviews about using cheap after market parts that come apart when going off road. am I over thinking it? I will add he was a little upset because I didn't buy the 5100's from them, he said "this is why we don't like installing customers parts because now I am loosing money"

 

Take it back and have them make it right. No way I would be happy with that boot looking like that. It will be torn in no time.

You can't expect them to use OEM parts. You had used OEM parts, they replaced them with new aftermarket.

ETA: and stand there and watch them work on it while they do it.

 

Boom! Got these bad boys wired up and running. I need to take the truck out for a quick overnight trip.

 

Wired up the winch and installed synthetic rope. I had removed the steel cable before installing the bumper.

 

That bumper looks great, do you have any pictures of the whole front of the truck?
