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

Washed, polished, waxed, and detailed....yesterday anyway

 

Just made myself Texas legal. Front plate installed. Had it suction cup'd to the windshield per DMV instructions. See a lot of folks running no front plate. I fit the description so I want to save myself the headache.

 

Installed AVS VentShades. Went smoothly. Don't like the AVS logo on the front ones. I debadge everything but these aren't stickers. Anybody find a way to remove the AVS without grinding it out???

 

I was thinking of using some rubbing alcohol (or similar) to get the white out of the logo at least, haven't tried it yet though....

 

Black magic marker tones it down quite a bit...

 

Changed the plugs for the fist time at 31,500 miles. The denso seemed to have held up better than the ngk
Denso: .045, .045, .047
Ngk: .048, .050, .050

Also whatever idiot in the factory put the ngk's in the driver side torqued them down WAY over 15 ft lbs. Were tough to get out

 

What adhesive remover would you guys recommend for the sides of our trucks?

 

So this happened today...new hidden winch and mount thanks to @Pelfreybilt. I added on recovery points and ditch lights and mounted my axe thanks to @RelentlessFab. Also the 30" curved light bar for some clarity.

 

Stock springs yep. Set at 1.75. Noticeable lift in front. And as promised here are some pics. When from this to this


to this.

 

Installed the Shmellmopwho CB antenna mount and Hi-Lift mounts yesterday. Then started on the Ram mount phone holder today, have the ball mount, just need the rest of it to come in.

 

Finally pulled my clicking drivers side cv. Not as easy as I hoped but not horrible either. Gotta pick up the replacement in the morning. Also removed the taco lean spacer from my pro comp lift. May need it when the lift settles but for now it's overkill.

 

I did the same and I bought them at 14" long. Amazing the difference they made.

 

I'm not all that mechanical but got the guts up to try the air bag install and ordered all the parts. Then have lots my guts since the parts arrived 6 months ago. How'd the install go? Maybe I'll try get my guts up again.

 

Sounds exactly like me...tank about doing it for awhile, decide to do it, then when it's go time I don't for months.

 

Finally finished her up! Thanks to @ajohnson for helping me with the lift install. Love the ride, only minimal rubbing on inside fender plastic, I'll probably take care of it sometime this week. Very happy with the turnout.

It took me a while to make a decision on tires, I was considering the new Falken AT from DiscountTireDirect, but they ran out of stock pretty quick. Just decided to go with the KO2 and Im definitely happy with my decision. Just aggressive enough and pretty quiet too.

 

nice! looks like the Billies are set at 0, yea?

 

Acetone or AKA nail polish remover sould do the trick. If its paint.

 

Yep, definitely wanted to leave them at zero w/ the 887s.
