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

did you use the TW search or google?
google gives me better results. i just typed in toyota tacoma sealed joints in google and the first links was the one i posted

 

Ha ya I'd go crazy too. My prerunner factory u joints are sealed, and all the ones we install/replace here at the shop have zerk fittings to grease

 

I cleaned and lubricated all of the seals when I first bought my access cab. It's amazing how squeaky it was beforehand. What did you use? Honda's shin etsu grease is amazing!

 

Swapped out my OEM battery for a new pretty one. Thanks to @TacomaCody for supplying the image for this vid's outro!

Great! Something else I didn't know I really needed!

I started painting my bedrack finally. Waiting for the primer to dry now. Going to hit it with some black spray on bed liner.

 

Painted my trim yesterday.

 

Looks so damn good.

Did you removed the dash piece to get the cluster rings off?

 

No I just popped them off with a set of micro picks. They look just like dental picks just cost 45 bucks from Matco tools.

 

Shifter bezel is still drying in the garage. Will post a pic of that when it dries. Oh and the color is rustolem colonial red.

 

Nice!! Anything break?​

 

Yeah. The far left one cracked a little. I ordered a new one this morning. Just gotta be wicked careful. The big piece sound the radio was no trouble at all. I think I'm gonna pop the rings off of the tweeters that are in the door and give them the old sand n paint treatment.

 

Those rings don't come off like the cluster rings... the tweeter rings are glued on, so you basically have to break them off and then glue them back on. That's what I had to do.

 

Q bond will take care of that with ease. That shit is amazing

 

Never heard of that stuff... what exactly is it, and what does it do?

 

It's a mix and ready glue. I buy it off the tool truck.

 

AH HA. Cool. Good to know. Thanks!

 

Man that's a sexy truck in the outro... That guy must be pretty cool.

 

Haha I was too. I'm either gonna put on some heavier skids, a new front bumper, or a winch to pull the front down a bit. Or maybe bring the back up a tad. It's raining here, I'm gonna remeasure later to see where it settled to. 3 inches was measured as soon as we put it back on the ground.
