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

1. First oil change since I bought the truck back in July. Now @ 15k. Threw in Mobil 1 and ditched the drain bolt for one of my favorite "mods", a Fumoto...man did I miss this thing!
2. Shoved some 1/4" drip tubing into the hood/light seals and successfully got rid of my freeway whistle!
3. Was about to pull the trigger on an aFe drop-in dry filter to save me the hassle of buying filters down the road, only to open up my airbox and find out the previous owner had already put one in! Merry early Christmas to me!

 

Replaced original 11 yr old front and rear Bilstein shocks with 5100's. Front was set at 0.85."
Looks good. Feels good.

 

Just got my Fumoto a couple days ago. Few more miles and I'm due for oil change. Got six cases of Mobile 1 Full Synthetic in the garage.

Only thing I'm worried about is whether I have to dismount my RCI skid plate....

 

I hear you - that's why I changed my oil with only 2700 miles on it before installing my BAMF skid plate - figured it would be much easier to install the Fumoto before bolting that monster in place

 

Used the heat gun on the inner portions of the front mud flaps to get it closer to the cab mount... Initial test shows it did get rid of the rubbing while backing up inclines with the wheels turned!

 

I just changed my oil about 1 hour ago. I've been wanting a Fumoto valve but still feel skeptical about it. How long have you guys had it and absolutely no issues with it? I see the black thing that prevents the valve to open. I like the idea of hooking small tube and drain it straight into a old oil container.

 

Wash, claybar and a wax today. I always wax my vehicles right before winter hits and they start dumping salt and other chemicals on our roads. I'll do another one this spring once the temps warm up.

I also did an oil change. Mobil 1 5w-30 full synthetic with a Toyota OEM Filter.

I cut down my front mudflaps as well. These things are ridicuously low and drove me nuts scrapping on everything off road. I'm surprised it took me this long to cut them. Took only 5 minutes with some tin snips and a sanding block.

 

Blacked out badges and plasti dipped rims done over the weekend

 

I just installed mine last month so haven't done an oil change since then.

A valve that makes oil changes a lot easier and cleaner.

 

washed it,cleaned windsheild.

 

Happens when you're on this website. The only way to prevent it is to log out and never come back here, but we all know that's not going to happen

 

my wife hates this site, 200.00 this week. lol

 

Put the black TRD emblem to use.

 

Looks like today should be declared National TW Oil Change Day! I had a Fumoto on my '05 for 6 years and one on my wife's Odyssey for 5 years...never an issue/drop with either one. I suppose if you off road through a lot of rough terrain there's the likelihood you could knock it off, but then again it sits higher than the cross member.
I bought the F-103s kit. It's the short-nippled Fumoto with the tubing, adapter, L-bend (not necessary) and the the black lever clip. Here's the exact kit I bought and found a 10% coupon online:

It's a no-brainer!

 

I did this. Prepping for a facelift.

 

Then this that I posted a while back:

Did an oil change today.

Was excited as I was about to use my Fumoto valve for the first time. They claim that you don't get any oil on your hands.

- nosed truck into garage
- placed oil catch pan on floor under truck
- opened the Fumoto valve... worked great, as I didn't get a spec of oil on my hands while draining the oil pan.
- placed an empty water bottle under the oil filter catch tray drain and started to remove the filter
- forgot to remove the black drain cap and the filter tray almost overflowed
- screwed the filter back down (then wiped oil off my hands)
- removed the black cap, but it fell into the bottle (I thought it fell on the floor)
- wiped some more oil off my hands
- removed the filter and let it drain into the bottle
- put a thin film of oil on the filter gasket and replaced filter
- wiped the fucking oil off my hands
- closed the Fumoto valve and replaced the oil
- checked oil and backed truck out of the garage
- drained used oil back into the jug
- looked for that little bastard cap
- realized that the water bottle was still under the hood with the little black cap in it
- retrieved water bottle and slowly poured out the oil into the jug
- fucking filter catch drain cap slipped through my oily fingers and fell back into the fucking jug
- wiped more fucking oil off my hands
- poured the used oil and little fucking black cap out of the jug back into the oil catch pan
- fished the MF cap out of the oil catch pan
- wiped MF oil off my fucking hands again
- reinstalled the little bastard cap
- wiped more go**amn fucking oil off my hands
- went back to the garage and poured the fucking used oil out of the fucking catch pan back into the go**damn jug again
- brought the MF catch pan to the back of the garage
- as I came around the corner (wiping my hands of course) to go back into the fucking garage, I kicked the go**amn MF open jug that my wife moved onto the gravel driveway while I was out back
- wiped up and closed the fucking jug, wiped fucking oil off my hands, poured a cup of gasoline on the fucking spilled oil, set that afire, walked over to the truck, removed the little MF go**amn black cap and threw it into the bush

... smiled, and wiped the oil off my hands.

Fuck you, Fumoto.

 

Sweet! I will look into it now. I noticed there are two different versions. One with and without slots on the threads.

Did you change your oil also? Lol

 

so much for quick and clean oil changes
