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

Thank you!

 

Today I changed out my spark plugs. Replaced the stock NGK iridiums with some Bosch iridiums. Everything went smoothly. I would've posted a how to thread but i didnt have time for tutorials. I was in a rush. Next im going to by a sub from a bud of mine, reppace the tranny fluid, rear diff. fluid, flush the coolant system, and probaby replace my belt. A tip for spark plugs: use anti-sieze so they dont sieze up and put up a fight next time you want to get them out. Or worse: they might break. Its cheap as hell and a tube will last forever

 

Had a flowmaster super 40 (suggested by the shop) put on and am now running 2.5 in/3 out.

absolutely HATE it. the drone in the cab in unbearable I think it would be ok if you were doing only city driving but i do many long trips and highway driving and at 2500 RPM the thing is obnoxious. I gave the shop a call and they were kind enough to swap it out for a flowmaster 50. It goes on the truck on saturday so i don't know how it'll be but i feel like it can't be worse.

I loved the sound of the 40 on startup but just can't get used to it.

anyone have the 50 on theirs? thoughts?

New tars. 265/65-17 to 285/70-17 Cooper St Maxx with 1.25"Spidertrax spacers. Slight difference..

 

Tom Cruise called me today asking if I'd play Maverick in the new Top Gun movie. I guess so... Heat seeking missiles get wired up next weekend!

 

Them some nice tars! lol

 

Installed the curved 42" 4D bar on the roof basket, haven't finished wiring yet, plan on putting my old 30" 4D bar on the rear of the basket and then some ditch lights.

 

Nice ride you got there, and most importantly, nice grill! If you ever think about getting rid of it I'd be interested.

 

I,ve heard too many bad things about flowmasters on taco's. I have a JBA cat back system on mine and i Love it. Great sound, little if not no drone, deep sound, and looks sexy. i have a thread of my review of it that you can find on my profile. the cat back system was $268.59 for me on autoanything.com for my taco. No welding required. All you need is a 14mm socket wrench or a regular wrench. I highely recommend it. worth every penny

 

Heatsinks?! lucky. I only have mounted .50 Calibers on top. I dont have the budget for heatsinks. Guess Ill have to go bird hunting with the .50's

 

Use the Hi Lift 4xRac like I did

 

Finally installed my lift and got some new rubbers.

 

Got my bolt-on sliders installed today!

 

What slider are these looks awesome

 

A local fabricator on Vancouver Island made them - he's only made two sets and is now charging about $800 CAN (painted) for them but it still beats shipping american companies up north.

 

Put new emblems on. this is the part number,

 

Nice dude. Looks great I'm gonna have to get some slider eventually.

 

I have started to sell my design for a Low Mount License Plate Bracket. If you have to run a front plate and you want to add a light bar this bracket will lower the plate below the lower opening in the bumper.

I'm in Vic too. Lets chat about fun spots you've found on the island. always looking for new places to go.
