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

Nope!

This is Old School! V

 

Finished up my Firestone Airbags last night. To dark to take pictures. What a difference in the ride, wow. Even the old lady commented that the ride seemed smoother and not so rough. I like it. Did have a small leak that I had to fix last night. Didn't tighten up a fitting tight enough. Gonna check my air pressure this morning to make sure it held psi all night.

 

Installed led reverse lights, and 3rd brake lights. Reverse lights are by far brighter, and actually project light. Yay.

Later today a Putco tailgate light bar. I'll actually be able to see now when I back out of my driveway at night. My regular job requires me to be on call 24/7 every other week. The phone rings at 2 am a lot. Blech

 

Just got back from the Dealership for fram inspection, all good to go on my part. My fram is rust free

 

Got the Cali Raised 30" 4D lightbar in yesterday, should have the wiring harness in today.

Got a big weekend ahead on finishing out CB install, installing the lightbar in the lower grill area, rear diff breather mod, and a few smaller things to do.

 

I have had these on for about 3 months now I think and I love them! Makes a huge difference to the soft leaf pack. Plus I tow a boat quite often and it makes a huge difference. Just make sure to keep them clean and free of rocks. You would be amazed at what gets trapped in them. Every once and a while I fill them to roughly 40-50 psi and give them a good clean.

 

Yeah, I heard that you should rinse them down and in the cradles every so often. I usually go out and rinse the truck and under carriage every couple of weeks or so.

 

What I did:

 

Is that the stock winshield? Your mirror is damn near the middle of it

 

got my trail team wheels today. missing one lug nut. next tires.

 

Ha, I believe so? I've owned the truck since October '15. Now i'll have to go check!

 

The stock rear view mirror sits super low.. There's a relocation bracket made by a member here named ImMrYo that raises it up. One of the first things I did when I got my truck and it's a huge improvement.

 

Out of all the mods that I have done to my truck, the @ImMrYo mirror riser is my absolute favorite. I strongly encourage everyone to get one.

 

Got tires balanced, rotated and alignment

 

I've been considering that and think I'll just go ahead with it. I saw a couple of people report cracks appearing in their windshield right where the mount was but I'm pretty sure in those cases they had both the mirror and some other device hanging off of the bracket.

 

Actually I was wrong that was another members bracket I was thinking of. Do you have a link for the IMmrYo bracket?

Thanks 05moose!!!

 

What did you use to clean the engine bay??!! Curious because I just picked up something "recommended" by KB VooDoo that I'll be using this weekend if it's nice out... which doesn't seem like it will be.

 

Your memory is correct, there was a group that was making their own and had added a RAM mount ball to it and that proved to be too much for allot of people's windshields.
