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

What exactly is it?

 

That's the end of my driver side rear axle shaft.

 

The diff end of his rear axle

Smokey beat me to it

 

I hope you have a good story...

 

First outing with the crawlbox?

 

That's a lie because I saw your test video and that counts.

Did you at least bust it on something gnarly?

 

I was part way into a gnarly trail at least. I think it could have been damaged before and the extra torque was enough to twist it.

 

That's fair... Time for an axle swap? Dana 60?

 

Those are the smaller caps and the same ones that fit the wheels I bought. The newer ones have a spring type ring around the outside and for some reason are 1/4" larger in diameter. I saw some pics of a 2nd Gen with the 4runner wheels on it, so they should fit my Taco Pro if I use them for my second set of wheels. The fit my Tundra with no issues.

 

If it is the factory isolator (mine did it too, toytec lift) it's probably from all the extra spring pressure. I don't think there is a way around it.

 

That's in the plans.

 

Got rid of the stock radio and installed this single din.

I also replaced the shift lever with another OEM. The two piece lever was broken and rattling around.

 

I don't have a link. I bought it years ago when I had my 08. It's the most common one that everyone uses on this site. Came from ebay. It fit my 08 perfect. My 14 it's super tight and had to do some shoe horning to get it in

 

Replaced the instrument light/parking light/tag light fuse yesterday. A byproduct of my headlight removal drill last week.
Lots of lights connected to one little fuse.

 

A couple days ago, but I did some spring cleaning and maintenance. Replaced two blown out rear shocks. Pulled the skids pans off and wire wheeled and painted them. Also took some extra weight off that I had welded on to help keep the front down a bit. Don't need it now that it settled out. Changed all the oils front to back. Pulled the seats, trim under the doors and mats out and vacuumed and shampooed and armor all'd everything. Plastics in the back are scratched but it looks good for the use it's had over 126k. Then took it for a drive.

 

^^^ I relentless skids

 

Painted my chrome grill surround black


here's a link to my write up if anyone's interested...https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/painting-grill-surround-full-write-up.431936/

 

Which model is that?

 

That is a clean stereo install. That surround fits flawlessly!

 

Thanks for the pic, it gives me another reason to never just rev it up and dump the clutch..........
