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

I'll be replacing coilovers tomorrow on my new 4x4. Do you guys think I will have to disconnect the tie rods to get the shocks in and out? I never had to on my prerunner but I didn't have a cv axle in the way then.

 

Dont think so
When i did my front struts on my 05 had to take springs out but didnt disconect tie rods

 

I'm just trying to make sure I have a big enough hammer once she's on jack stands.

 

I did the Horn Relocation Mod in preparation of mounting a light bar behind the grille. Also did some measuring so I can piece the bracket together from Lowe's.

 

Seeing yours, I'm thinking I should have gone with silver shackles after all. Did my install a week ago.

 

No sir. I once had a Ford Teflon coated....

 

Clay bar 2 times?? Man that's a lot of work. Props to you

 

Quick question gents, didnt feel like making a thread for it, where could i source the nuts for the top of a 5100. The dude i bought my coils and shocks from mailed them disassembled and i dont have but 1 top nut in the box. So as soon as i can assemble them i can install them at my level of ease.

 

Since Toyota is in the business of selling cars and not detailing them I would stay away and find a better product from a reputable company.

 

Take shock to hardware store. Stainless steel

 

Doesnt have to be any special kind?

 

One that fits....

 

What about nylon lock sturf?











Smartass lol

 

They aren't nylocks. Just change mine two weeks ago to the 2016 shocks and coils. The 16s didn't come with them.

 

They sell those at Home Depot too.

 

This is going to sound really mundane, but I repacked everything in the truck. Went through everything and reorganized the cubbies under the rear seat, the two bins in the bed, the glove box and the center console. Everything is now tidy, in it's place and organized.

I shop vac'd all of the storage bins and cubbies out, washed off the shovel and vac'd the bed.

I replaced the batteries in all four flashlights (yes, I know excessive but one is a headlamp, one is in the trauma kit, D-cell LED Maglite and a Fenix in center console).

Lubed the Hi-Lift.

I'll be replacing the tire plugs and glue in the tool bag as soon as I get to a store to pick some up. I swap this out every couple of years.

Checked tire pressure and underhood fluids. Needed to fill windshield washer fluid and the blinker fluid was a pint low.

Going to wash, clay and wax tomorrow.

 

Bro,, get to the chargaaaa

 

.

 

Nothing wrong with routine maintenance and cleaning. I'd feel pretty stupid if I got in a jam and pulled out a flashlight with dead batteries.

 

Just to lazy. When it dies I can put it down.
