What Have You Done To Your Tacoma Today?

silverback07 · 06-11-2009, 03:32 PM

Installed two brand new CV axles today. Took about 2.5 hours, longer than planned. But now its good as new... no funky "clanking" noise.

mjp2 · 06-12-2009, 07:04 AM

I dropped off a box of parts at a driveline shop so they could reassemble my front CVs with the longer axles to work with the Camburg LT kit.

Reassembly requires a press, which I don't have, so I decided to let the professionals do their thing.

4" deck plate mod

SRQ TACO · 06-12-2009, 08:36 PM

Debadged the tailgate today....

STLharry · 06-13-2009, 05:22 AM

the lower spring on the passenger side brake that holds the shoes broke, which made the brakes squeak like hell. It only took me about 25 minutes to fix though with a new spring. I hate drum brakes.

changed the coolant as well. Does anyone know where the drain plug for the engine is on the 3RZ-FE?

neslerrah · 06-13-2009, 05:27 AM

I had the tires balance and rotated.

Which drain plug? Oil?

ChrisYoTaCoMa · 06-13-2009, 08:24 AM

Installed my Sirius satellite antenna permanently this morning, mounted it in front of the third brake light. I basically glued it to the roof with silicone, then drilled a microscopic hole for the wiring then silicone sealed that. Looks professional, I took my time to do it right.

Mike when are you gonna paint those fenders

And are those the new BFG Mud terrains the kt2 or w/e?

HerNameIsLucy · 06-14-2009, 10:34 AM

I got a free toolbox! Friend of mine had a boyfriend leave her a motorcycle when he passed, she needed ramps to get it on and off the trailer. Round about 5 years ago a neighbor gave me a set of ramps, I had no use for them so me and her traded for the tool box that was in her truck when she bought it!

Long ago I asked if anyone knew if a 2nd gen toolbox will fit a 1st gen bed...yup, it does!
