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

​

 

I listen to alot of rock. Mostly alternative but can appreciate the older stuff too. I agree that alot of rock is better than today's hip hop. New shit fuckin sucks. That being said I've actually listened to all four (old and new rock and hip hop) to be able to make an informed decision. Can you guys say the same? Don't get me wrong to each his own but I'm kinda tired of people shitting on a whole genre of music without having the foggiest idea about it.....


I changed my diff front and rear fluids and oil change

 

The 60" just barely fits in a SB, and I had to store the base plate in the toolbox. The AllPro mounts work really good.

 

Nice! Make sure to do the initial setup items like scuffing the standard bar's paint mostly off, lubing the gearing, and cycling the components both with and without being under load.

 

This is in way a dispute;

Your right! I don't have the foggiest idea about rap music and it's because of my 1st rule. To me music must be played by people on an instrument in order for me to call it music and not be programed in a studio or basement and played by a computer. This is not to say these people don't have any talent because that's not necessarily true at all. The song/lyric writers and programmers have talent as well as some of the rappers themselves. It's just not for me. It's the same with country, even though they play instruments I feel as if almost all the songs sound the same. Lyrics, music and especially the male voices sound all about the same (at least it does to me)
I know, I know!

For the record I will listen to just about anything else. Rock, Jazz, Classical, Rhythm & Blues... etc

 

BTW I thought about giving my truck a bath today... but I probably won't

 

Technically turn tables are instruments.

 

So are my lips

 

I would have to agree about some of it sounding the same. But now comes the argument of what is an instrument? A turntable can be made to make some of the most complex sounds out of a regular no name album. Fuck I've seen guys downtown Toronto playing a plastic pail that sounded amazing. I agree it's not for everyone. I grew up with it and can relate to the lyrics and love the sound of its "instuments". Check this guy out. It's not hip hop or rap or actually any genre it's all of them. He's on Netflix. Fucking hilarious. You'll probably want to fast forward to 7min 30sec

Re torqued all 4 cam bolts.

 

Those AP mounts are nice... But pricey!!! Think I'll be going this route - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diy-hi-lift-and-tool-mounts.260147/

Good stuff to know! Appreciate it buddy!

 

One more time:

a. 2 gauge long red cable to starter (the engine ground is right beside the starter, so 45" should do)
b. 2 gauge 45” long black cable to engine block ground
c. 2 gauge 30” long red cable to alternator charging post on alternator (This one is way too long, 18 to 24" is more than enough)
d. 8 gauge 24” red or transparent cable to top of fuse box with other cable from Step 2 (Bolt in now)
e. 2 gauge 12” black cable to fender ground location at step 4
15. Next reinstall battery, and battery hold-down
16. Connect positive terminal to battery. Of the 2 small wires, only the black one needs to be connected for digital meter to work.

17. Install negative terminal to battery.

Good luck!

 

I'm at work. I have to wait till I get home to watch your video but I totally agree with you that people play stuff not considered an instrument and they are amazing at doing it.

 

RE: Hi-Lift jack

Why? ... and lube with what?

 

.... What she said

I thought this was the "what have you done to your 2nd gen" thread, not the "let's argue about what kind of music we like" thread. WTF?

 

Thanks!

 

Why what? Prep it? Because the thing is capable of killing you.

Use whatever metal lube you want. Hi lift ships a fairly generic one. Lots of people just hit it with wd-40.

 

Thanks to @RadTaco914 for the ditch lights, I got them all mounted up today. The process took a while but it wasn't bad. Running the harness took the longest because I wanted it to look good and be completely protected through the firewall. Next up will be a CH4x4 switch. Anyways here it is ill get some lighted pics up tonight.
