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

Very sexy

 

The lifespan on the two remaining badges turned out to be less than 24 hours.

When we went out to make a quick trip to the store the wife said "Get them off too". Can't argue with that.



I will take the "Pelfrey bumper on a 2WD is not silly" statement under advisement when I show her the lets get rid of the chrome on the rear bumper options.

 

Just wait for another one of their free shipping or 250 off sales, itll make it much easier.

 

Have you changed your diff fluid? Did you use a new crush washer? If you reused the old one, it may not be sealing properly.

 

JD'STaco---Those special Tie wraps are the same ones I/We used at the Telephone Co. when I worked there. They are made that way because they are used in the outside plant on the cables inside on the splices etc . Ive used them on my motorcycles because that steel clip keeps things tight .
If you know/see a phone guy/gal working see if they can give you some to do field testing of your own . They come in various lengths so get the long one and you'll be covered.
The tie wraps you buy at Home Depot etc. have a plastic clip and usually end up slipping

Thank you sir!

 

I wanted to get out of the house, and the golf cart wasn't running. So, I went out for a ride on my place in the truck. Along the way I had to move a tree out of the way, but it allowed me to get a picture.

 

Thanks, I purchased 100-11" ones from Amazon. Thanks for the info and feedback on these. They should last a while.



New Bumper mesh with the Black powder coated optional OEM Toyota Skid Plate back on.

 

Finished placing the new bedside decals today! @amirak

 

No more Darth Vador ?

 

Oh yeah! Dope!!!

 

While I loved the Darth Vader theme, I just had too much red going on my truck to sustain it. Sure Vader has a red light saber, but that's about it. Deadpool felt like the purrfect compromise.

 

I could see that happening.

 

Replaced the headlights with clear OEM ones I bought off craigslist for $100.

 

I was on deployment and my wife had the truck serviced... obviously they talked her into changing the diff oil. I highly doubt they used a new one.

Got a link to a how to thread? I don't know what a crush washer is so I gotta now school myself up on it

 

I'm really liking that lower mesh. Do they have it in silver. I need more color back into the front end. May also give me a spot for the parking sensors.

 

Eyelids and black out emblems

 

A crush washer is a metal washer that goes over the bolt and crushes to form a seal when the drain/fill plug is torqued down. They should be replaced each time. The felt covered 'gasket' on the oil pan drain plug is a crush washer. There are crush washers on the fill/drain plugs for the diffs, transmission, and transfer case. They're only a few dollars.

If the dealership serviced the diff, they should have installed new crush washers. They may have just made a mess when they refilled the diff. Try cleaning up the diff with degreaser and seeing if the oil staining comes back.

 

Thanks, not sure about silver. Would most likely be a special order. This one was sent out to be powder coated black so it would be up to the vender. I would email them tomorrow and ask.

I didn't need one. Took it off a couple times.
