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

Oh, and today at the office...

 

Get it good and clean and seal the paint with a good product. It makes keeping it clean way easier. When mine gets filthy, Ill hose it off at the pay and spray, then hit it with quick detailer when I get home and it looks like I spent hours detailing it.

 

I have the Maquire's clay bar kit and wax, but haven't even washed my truck this year.

 

Me too! They'd probably make my truck look fruity being its red lol

 

How much more $$?

 

Well my Taco is a new one to me (as of Sunday) so forgive the bland mod, but my first is black plasti on all chrome emblems and grille. I just hate chrome on anything after 1985. I also sprayed some Ice on them as advised by a couple of threads I found here and oh man. That stuff made a huge difference and surely boosted my confidence in my new finish.

 

Pic??

 

I don't have any good ones right now, but here's some ok ones...




That being said, I'd like to find some form of the newer TOYOTA TRD grille as I'm not a fan of this one.

 

I think it's $150 per pair / $300 for all 4 corners. Don't quote me 100% as I'm trying to recall from a previous GB thread a few months back.

Their website (http://www.buykingshocks.com/king_options.html) has some prices.

 

Installed a air ride with a U-bolt flip kit. You can see details here of how I did it.

 

I think 300 is right. Not worth it for me (I would have done black if it was cheaper), but blue is my favorite color

 

Spark plug/ coil pack misfire maybe?

 

My 2012 Double Cab TRD Sport 4x4 just turned over 50k. I have owned the truck for 1.5 years now and bought it used from the dealership at about 38k miles. What kind of maintenance should I consider doing now that it is over 50k? I know the dealership told me that they "certified preowned" the truck. I hope they did basic maintenance before putting out for sale but I know they are all crooks and this is unlikely. I have yet to engage the 4x4 for more than a few feet and that was to make sure it was functional. Had a baby come into our world so camping and snowboarding have been sidelined for a year which is why I haven't gotten to get it as dir

 

Treated her to some dirt yesterday

 

Got my Wobble fixed a Baierl Toyota (an hour drive) as they were the only ones with the Lug-centric adapters needed to properly balance my tires. Bad news is, the stupid aftermarket wheels that came with the truck dont fit the hub properly. The good news, Wobble was fixed for FREE!

Picture for attention:

 

If they are Moto Metal 951's you can fix the issue with these....

I had the same problem and the rings smoothed things out by 90%. The rest I attribute to worn out tires that will no longer balance completely. But the rings made a night and day difference none the less.

 

Thank you i was about to look these up!!

 

Where you guys get your power?

 

That looks good, just replace those screws with black ones so it doesn't look like a wall application in a home

 

Still looks really good. I still cant believe how well it matches!
