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

Great advise. Not having the proper tools for the job at hand has caused me to take twice the time on previous repairs/upgrades

 

Pretty much. Blue tape + newspaper + patience goes a long way. I used red engine paint on it.

 

From what I've read they are sent at random, and not necessarily a + and a -

So if you can, put the tougher one on the drivers side but that's not always an option.

 

Aye- I just meant I randomly got +/+ so it didn't matter- agreeing with you

 

That would certainly make sense given all of the extra weight carried on the driver side. Both of my dakars were "+".

 

Caps on and parked the truck on the street

 

That's true. ,but if they are different, then put the higher on the drivers side. And to be honest, I'm not sure how much difference it really makes.

 

I love that cap. I think I have those same NFAB side steps.

 

Mine were a - and a 0. Still gave me about 2.75 after settling

 

Looks great.

 

Crap man hope the fix is quick and painless! Keep us posted!

 

Finished my shackle flip. The truck had not settled yet in picture below but still may move the hanger forward.

 

That's how we learn! Lol

 

Oh I learned.

 

Rear diff fluid change... drained about 2.75 qts and filled w 3qts... still wasn't running out of the fill hole... should I be concerned?
Also finally remembered to pick up the irrigation drip line to tuck in my front door weather stripping. Hopefully this stops the kazoo effect... will report back when I know more.

 

The rear diff calls for a hair over 3 quarts, so you're fine.

 

Just picked up a Toyota Rubber mat used for the 6' bet and a tail gate reinforcing strip used a can of paint with help give it a face lift

Nice! who made that looks good

 

Well I sold my '09 and bought a '15 pro today.

 

76,142 miles Changed the oil, air filter, cabin filter, front diff, rear diff, and transfer case. Spark plugs sometime this week.
