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

She actually loves the taco. She always says the girls (dogs) and I love the truck. She just dosent always like me spending money on it until the mod is done than she likes it lol

 

Yesterday - 70,000 miles

Oil & Filter change
Tire Rotation
Greased Drive Shafts
New headlight assemblies installed (they also came with bulbs so I now have spares)
Replaced engine & cabin air filter

Front break pads are down to 5mm (yellow zone). Thinking of replacing at next service at 75,000 miles. Will most likely go with OEM again.

 

Do you have a lift? How big is it? Might want to step up into the longer one's if you lifted more than 1.5"s

 

Scored a hitch rack

 

Just went and picked this up from Fastenal...







Dropped off at the powder coating shop, hopefully ready to be picked up Friday, and installed over the weekend!!!

 

Same issue I have. haha. My wife hates a stock looking truck, but doesn't like me spending money on it to mod it??? lol.

 

NICE!!

 

Ok...I want to install my flush mount LED pod lights in the rear bumper. My bumper is chrome...Will a dremel tool be sufficient to cut the holes out?

 

I do have 2" of lift in the rear. Any idea what the model number of the longer one's are?

I remember I originally steered away from them because I was afraid of bottoming them out.

 

Finally got around to fixing my smashed front bumper. Decided to go with a simple winch mount bumper. Got it from U.S. Offroad. No affiliation, but I will say it is a well-made sturdy piece. They shipped quick, it was packed well, and it fit perfectly. With painting a new bumper cover, took me about a day to install. The winch is a Harbor Freight model. Not fancy, but works well.

First was the mockup -

I realized how shitty the stock one was during the install of the the BedRug tailgate mat this wknd. Would be boss for some additional protection for the tailgate.

Anybody run one? I'm too lazy to go back and read the search results for this.

 

I have one. I love it and it is absolutely worth it. The plastic piece bends when you lay 2x4's and drywall on it. Now no more bends. Also, the tailgate feels so much better, you will notice it the first time you lift the tailgate after installing it.

 

Looks like you should step up to the 5125's with the 2" lift

Thanks for the response! That's all I had to hear. I hate hurting my hands on the sharp lower edge of the tailgate when closing it

 

Got some depo tail lights in the mail today! Ignore the mess of a garage, been doing lots of projects.

 

That at sounds like a reasonable explanation...... When I was in the military, I was told stars always go forward if you reverse the stars it show a sign of retreat ? Idk but this is how it was explained to me

 

Assault Forward Star field always faces forward...because Murica. lol.

 

Got my oil dample results back. I strongly recommend this should be done. Who would know how the engine is performing. No codes on dash.

 

Been reading mixed reviews on those Depo's. Let us know how they hold up! They look nice!
