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

Just like PA. I grew up playing the inspection game and finding the shops that let stuff slide. I've been in Ohio for 22 years now, and there is no inspection at all here. There is e-check in two counties (Cleveland and Cincinatti), but that's it. People do whatever they want to their vehicles, and I have gotten into that habit too. I am starting to worry about our eventual relocation and having to un-mod my truck. I also have a '68 Firebird that's been so thoroughly hot-rodded that it probably could never be registered in PA. I hope PA and VA are the exceptions.

 

I once had a "4X4" decal across the top of my windshield and I got pulled over for that.

 

Link? I really want to update the steering wheel. Thats the one thing that makes the truck feel old.

 

Whoa looks like Amazon has them for $90 cheaper.

i put them with the taller side in. then they look down the side of the truck and into the immediate left or right zone.

topper gets in the way of some of my vision. These have saved me quite a few times.

 

They were probably thinking they needed a logo.

 

I've emailed him twice over the last year and a half. Still waiting . . . . . . . .

It replaces the needle bearing on the drivers side. It's a weak part, and lifting the truck can exacerbate the problem making it vibrate like crazy. There's a TSB for it, but a lot of people choose to just replace it with one of these.

 

Oh ok got it, well I replaced my driver cv recently and thought I remembered something along those lines, I might tear into it again to do this

 

From what I've read it's definitely worth it if you're experiencing any sort of vibrations. The install tool makes it loads easier, but since it's a one time thing, there's a few of them floating around here for members to use. Also you'll want a new axle seal because apparently you'll tear up your old one taking it out.

 

I just picked up skids from them took 1 day

 

Looking for used shells. Does this one look correct for a 2nd gen? I thought you weren't supposed to be able to see the black trim pieces

 

oh, didn't mention:

New battery
PA15-TOY aux adapter into the truck just the other day,
had the crack in my windshield fixed
have the topper off for a new gasket and to cut the bolts from the roof rack big washer upgrade
(add large washers to the inside of the roof rack bolts to maximize surface area)

 

Finished install of OME 3" kit (off Toytec)

886 Coils (planning bumper/winch next spring)
90000 struts (fully assembled by Toytec ' cause I'm lazy)
Rear Dakar spring pack
Nitrocharger rear shocks with rock guards

Had it aligned by the local Toyota stealership and ordered some replacement plastic pins for the inner fender liners and I replaced the cabin air filter. Gave it a bath when all was done.
