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

also could be this thread, with a lot of people in it I have noticed that it takes a few seconds longer to post in here. Sometime I have gotten impatient while it was posting and pressed "post reply" again and it double posts

 

True dat!

 

But they dont say 4x4? I dont want people thinking I drive a peerunner. How embarrassing.

Im 90% sure (going from memeory) they are M8x1.25 bolt holes

 

I am planning the same. What color scheme did u go with?

 

I thought those things were plug n play now. I want one but that scares me.

 

Paint matched mcneil fiberglass
Added 1 1/4 spacers all around
Just got light bar and pods yesterday have t installed yet.

 

Definitely not. I did my own install (alarm and remote start) and I don't think I would do it again unless I had a detailed diagram for the specific vehicle install or a wire-by-wire writeup.

 

Well I TRIED to change the oil. I couldn't get the filter loose so I took a trip to the local auto parts store for a oil filter wrench. No joy, filter still won't budge. Back to Advantage, this time I bought a oil filter pliers. This thing had to do the trick right? Nope, still the filter won't budge. I even tried the oil filter cap that works with a ratchet. Nothing worked... I gave up. The dealership did the last oil change so I'm taking it back so they can mess with it. dealership won this time, I'd like to meet the dude that hand tightened that filter the last time. I'm praying that they say something to me about how tight that filter was....

 

Punch screw driver through oil filter then turn to loosen.... Although you are committed to finishing once you do that lol

 

I was going to suggest that, but when it goes wrong...

 

If and when you do it, forget driving the truck until you get the filter off and replaced, but I've had a few filters where someone used the Vulcan Death Grip when they tightened 'em up.....And the ONLY way I could get 'em loose is to drive a screwdriver through and through....then use a rubber mallet to persuade the filter to move by hitting the screwdriver shaft. Not something I'd highly suggest....Just a last resort option.

 

Exactly lol... Kind of a last resort

 

I've done it.

 

A couple of times for me, but I always get that oh shit this better work feeling haha. Has yet to fail though

 

Well....That seems fairly unanimous....

 

Like to try that technique on the idiot who did the last oil change...

 

Used the bed to take a nap in after I climbed up a 90' silo, then back down after taking a look around the farm. Once I was up there, I realized my camera was still in the cab of the truck. And I for certain wasn't climbing back up again any time soon. I used to climb it 25 or 30 times a year as we filled it and as it emptied out. It's been 15 years since I've been to the top of it. Back when dad sold off the dairy herd. Oh....also put in a pair of Sylvania Ultra headlight bulbs.
