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

Washed her up today while smoking some meat!

Meguiars is holding up well!

 

hey guys i know this probably isn't the spot to do so lol, but i really want one of those grilles that say tacoma or toyota on them in black lettering without spending like over 200 dollars and not be on a 100+ waiting list, if you know where i could please contact me or let me know, thanks a lot!

 

Actually happened yesterday but I finally got one of these put in.

 

Tossed in some usb power. This is the supposed to be for the cigarette console zone but it fits fine left of the steering wheel. I used a 10amp add a fuse mini and grounded it to a bolt behind the kick plate. Took all of 10 minutes and I am stoked. It's all about the little things.

 

E3 was running a sale on spark plugs months ago. We ended up purchasing 18 for my wife's Mercedes. Yeah, some engineers in Germany thought, "Why have one when you could have two?". We also got six for our 2012 four liter. The Mercedes was a HUGE pain and I though the Tacoma would go a lot smoother. Should have read-up more here.

I am sorry I did not buy the Accel coil packs as it would have been easier to do them at the same time.

Anyway, a two beer job turned into a three beer job, with a victory beer when done. The drivers side was a buggar. We had intended to wash the girl when we were done and re-plastidip the badges when we were done. Eff that. Plugs are in and we are happy.

I know there are NGK vs E3 camps, the same way there are Ford vs Chevy, Toyota vs Nissan, you got your peanut butter in my chocolate and so on. I put the E3s in my 92 LT1 Vette over a year ago and love then. The Mercedes seems to be happy with them, and I hope to get 110k miles before the Tacoma needs plugs again.

Might have been overkill, but I did use PLENTY of anti-seize on the plugs. That bracket on the drivers side from the block to the intake pissed me off, but the job is done. Maybe finish up the rest of the work next weekend.

 

Derped my new bullet proof skid.

How difficult is a "drain and fill" diy?

 

CB antenna installed will see if sticking with this setup or using another pending calibration and testing.

Finally put the color match shell on. It looks much better now!

I did a drain and fill not a drain and flush, but here is the link I followed. Great instructions.

Looks like you have a V6? I believe those are supposed to be replaced every 30k

 

Sorry I meant "fill"... Thanks!

 

You can always make your own.

 

I like the Pinoy

 

Made a lil adjustable bump stop pad.

 

Much needed floor mats replacements. Having a toddler and now a newborn, it's about to get messier on the floor..lol

I originally wanted to get some WT's since headstrong had a good price on them but I couldn't resist 125 for a set of the Aries 3D . I would rate these a good 8 out of 10.
