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

Covered my center console.

 

tube stepts

 

Put gas in it and drove it.

 

Today, I set out to perform my regular OCI. Hit the store, grabbed some new Penzoil Ultra amd a Mobil 1 filter and I was ready to rock. During the course of the day, I regretabally got into an arguement with my wife over some silly stuff. After that lovely call, I headed out to freshen up the Taco. Got myself set up and proceeded to get under the truck and open the tranny nut instead of the oil nut. All the time fuming of the arguement. I went to my toolbox about 20ft (i thought it was longer before) got a new crush washer came out and said OH SHIT! and proceeded to put the plug back and get red fluid all over my hands.

Luckily, I had a buddy bring me 3 qts of ATS WS and I followed the DIY thread and everything worked out. I am on the 12K preventitive tranny drain kick lol.

Morale of this story is never argue with wife and work on the Taco.

Also, for anyone thinking about changing thier tranny fluid and save $170 bucks or so, do it. Very simple to do actually. Hardest thing is finding a wire the right size to jump the ODB port. Would have been great if the DIY had a AWG for the wire. I use a wire from an old 12V pc fan that was pretty thick for pc fans.

If the DIY is followed, it is just as easy as an oil change. Providing you have the right tools. It was a great learning experience for me once I got rid if the gitters of just draining some of my tranny fluid.

At least it was a real nice day here in RI today.

 

Removed my dash panel and cd player (my first time messing with anything like that) to install an Ipod input cord to the back of an older pioneer (DEHP835R). Got it all put back together and was really proud until I couldn't figure out how to get the CD player to use the input.

 

Cleaned the exterior. Finally cleaned under the hood for the first time ever since I've had it. LOL Full tank of gas too.

 

Just found out that I some how bent my exhaust back toward the muffler almost a full 6" and broke a hanging bracket in the process.
My b-day cant some soon enough, my wife is getting me a cat back!

 

Hose clamp mod on the tailgate. Cheap protection!
