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

New pads and rotors @88k miles. Probably could have made it to 95 or maybe even 100 but not worth the possible trouble.
The pins required a bit of effort to drive out and the caliper bolts were a mother. Could not have done it without an 18 inch breaker bar.
Maybe do the serpentine belt after a couple beers. It's squealing a bit. Doesn't look too bad but I have the new belt ready to go anyway.

 

Juat finished the YELLOW wire mod and the CV boot mod...

Tomorrow I'll try trac on 4L with a non a-trac truck...

 

Hauled my boat home from my cousins Needs some tough love but it runs perfect right now!

 

That's a cool boat.

 

Thanks! its a 1979

 

I agree. Love the old run-a-bouts

I had a similar Ebtide back in the 1970's-80's. Then a Chaparral in the 90's. And a handful of center console fishing rigs and skiffs since. Another is in my short term plans.

 

I like vintage.

 

Agree

 

Much like a boat from 1979, we've seen a lot of bush.

 

Finally installed my aux fuse panel mount from Pelfreybuilt and a Blue Sea circuit breaker and fuse panel. They have been sitting on my work bench for like 9 months now....

Also completed an extremely time consuming installation of the phone mount. haha. Not really sure I even want to keep it there, but decided to give it a try before i toss it....

 

Super clean install on that box.

 

Thank you!


Speaking of fuse boxes... I'd like to wire constant 12v to my shell dome light, another set of USB ports for charging when the truck is off and a dash cam permanently wired in. All of these things can easily go ape shit and kill my battery. There are a few low voltage cut off products available, but all i see is single line in, single device out, so I would have to get 3 and stick them somewhere inside the cab. Sounds like a pain in the ass. Is there something else on the market that would allow me to connect 3 of more devices? Or multi-in/multi-out? The objective here is to retain the use of the fuse panel and still have separate fuse for each device.

 

spod does that

 

I think you will be happy.

Other than looking like I'm actually driving a truck while looking through the windshield I cannot tell anything was changed. Very happy with the choice, no vibrations at all up to 70mph. Hopefully it stays that way.

 

Not really today but. . .

From my trip to Oregon. Stopped at Moab for some trail riding, Mt Hood, and again in Moab for a restful night.

 

How do your alignment numbers look? @14 Tacoma

 

Keep in mind, I did AllPro UCA's as well. Had some bump steer before alignment, but luckily it went away. Think I could have probably gotten away with stock UCA's, but where's the fun in that?


Before

-0.1 Camber -.5
5.0 Caster 4.8
-.84 Toe -1.03


After

.2 Camber .2
4.1 Caster 4.0
.08 Toe .09

 

Thanks. I'll be on stock UCAs.

 

Yeah, i've seen these before, but I already had the fuse panel and circuit breaker sitting around so I just got the panel. sPOD looks interesting and considering that it comes with everything its a pretty attractive kit, but I would've still ended up changing switches. I don't like how theirs look. Also, the devices I need to protect battery from do not require switches. They are constantly powered

 

just installed these scs things. and washed her.
