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

You guys are lucky. With the job I have , I put on roughly 50k Kms a year.

 

What's this thing you call a job. I haven't had one in 2 years, reslulting in the low mileage, i really miss working though.

 

Sorry to hear that. I work for the railroad so I travel all over for work.

 

Did my spark plugs. Super easy this go around, helps having the right tools and a nice cool garage to work in! Old ones had gaps of 0.50 after 35k, new ones had 0.43-0.44 going in. Super worth it to have the spark plug removal tool with a magnet. Well worth the money.

 

Nice. Yours looked a lot better than mine coming out when I did them yesterday.

 

I probably need to do this. Got a link to where you bought your removal tool?

 

Happy Friday fellas!

 

​

 

It's going to be a long day for you waiting for those sweet wheels to get mounted!

 

I know!!! 3pm SHARP I will be breaking out of this office!!!

After that, going to a friends shop to stuff the full size spare in its stock location

And trim, cut and hammer whatever is rubbing

Should be a great day! Happy Friday!!

 

Can you be more specific with that Home Depot link? It just goes to the main page and I was looking for this stuff.

 

This one worked perfectly when I did my plugs. Gear wrench #80546 from Amazon.

 

Looks like some thin foam weather striping. Clean look though!

 

Sweet, thanks!

 

I bought my magnetic spark plug socket at the local o'reillys for 6 bucks.

 

Anybody know if 3rd gen RockBlokz mud flaps will fit a 2nd gen???

Thank yall​

 

Uh oh , you need flappys?

Where's the wheel pics

 

Thank you!!

Yeah those types of tools specific to a job make that job so much easier and are always worth it. These are my plugs after 168k miles! The previous owner never changed them!

I got the same one! I will say it wasn't long enough, so I just doubled up and used another normal extension and that made it possible to get it all done.

Taco needs to work for its pay!
I'm going to drag this to Canada 400 miles one way, along the way I will be picking up some windows.
First pic way too much overhang 7' or so

If I add 6" to the front ... this brings the ladder ( 20' long) up enough so I can slide the ladder .. giving me my 4' overhang!

Oh ya the Taco has 311,000 + miles ..
Just need some flags!
