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

This thought also ran through my mind when I saw your truck! Didn't know they offered a base model DCLB! I have still yet to see another truck like mine (5spd prerunner access cab in timberland mica).. I'm lucky if I see one in the same color lol

 

Ordered Pelfreybilt Bumper and Skids.

 

You didn't ask me for my address though

 

Thanks for being so safe out there :rollseyes:

 

yesss, 77777777777777

 

Cross posted from my build thread.



I go to leave the shop, and the guy asks me how much I'm gonna sell the tires for. I tell him $400. He starts pouring some stuff in a bucket, and tells me to wipe the tires down with it and they'll look brand new. I ask him what it is, and he chuckles saying "I can't tell you that amigo."

Once I get home, I don some shitty clothes, grab an old rag and some gloves and apprehensively try this stuff out. HOLY SHIT WHAT IS IN IT. So far the only ingredient I can tell for sure is some black paint. Not a lot, but enough. Unreal how well this works. The place I went to sells used tires, so it makes sense for them to have something like this.


The sketchy bucket in question



This is a before and after. HOLY CRAP, RIGHT?!



All the tires with the previously brown side facing up.



So when I bought the truck, I put it in 4HI and 4LO and it engaged, but I didn't hear a clunk like I did in my last truck. Today I decided to double check juuuuust in case. Put it in 4HI, jacked up the front end, and spun one wheel. The other started spinning the opposite way, so we're good!!

Decided to do a little driveway flexing too! Coulda gone higher but started getting sketched out.




It's mighty close! I know as soon as I hit a bump while turning, it's rubbing. I'm going to undo some front clips and shove the fender back and ziptie it out of the way.

 

Did a pretty sweet volume knob mod today

 

Yes another man with brain that loves the banquet beer! Cheers to a fellow banquet bro

 

Banquet is the only way to go!

 

I couldn't tell you what's in it, but I sell it at work to the used tire shops. It's literally called black tire paint lol

Here is my thread below. Yes bleed all four lines first then adjust rear brakes. Make sure you don't let any air in when bleeding. The rear brake adjuster is called a star wheel and can be adjusted with a small screwdriver

Well I'll be damned. I zoomed in on the pic, and it says BTP on the side which I assume means black tire paint. Here I was thinking it was some home brewed concoction!

 

My brother did that same mod in his 02 4runner. Adds extreme character

 

Just sprayed my wheel wells with some rubberized undercoating. Man they look better. However I feel a tad high from the fumes.

 

Also I ran over a damn goose. It ran right out in front of me... crushed it. Lol

 

The Safety Data Sheet only lists the two chemicals: coal/soot and a solvent/latex compound.

 

I did the mod where i could do this lol (already had 4gal in it too)

 

Nice. How was the tank install? Are you going to make a thread on it?
