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

Full gas tank mod.
Stretched her legs on the Alpine Tunnel Road outside of Pitkin, CO. Pretty bumpy if any locals are headed out. Real obstacles start about a mile past the Hancock Pass turn. Avalanche did some significant damage a few years ago. I walked that part a little.

 

Sorry for pulling this from so far back... found image on Google. Did you mount the gas can mount to the bed rail? And what did you use?

 

Probably t-nuts. Those things are amazing.

 

Someone on T4R.org weighed them in at 32lbs. I think the methods are 25lbs.

 

I was close, which is pretty good for me since I have the dreaded CRS disease.

 

Glad you did that. Ive seen people leave their synthetic line spooled loose, and then melt it when they actually use the winch. Dynema line binds to itself when it is compressed that way. One of the downsides of not knowing your gear

 

New cabin air filter at 40k

Damn I surprised at all the crap in there.

 

Today, I finally got around to modifying my mods... Light bar protection.... Mesh for the light bar....

 

What do you use the LED bolts for in the license plate holes? Running lights?

 

While there, moved my license plate, and also making good, better by means of Blue Sea...

 

Oh yeah, that blue can is my oil catch can, aka, oil/water separator. The brackets with the two dangling relays were temporary after relocating catch can... All will be neater, cleaner, and better... Lol!!! All in the name of "Taco-ly Love"

Actually, I'm wiring them into my Rock-Lights... Sometimes light bars, ditch-lights and headlights aren't required. Lol, that stealth approach I guess.....
Also as a means of covering those damn unsightly holes...

 

Crazy, huh?

Here is mine at 23k:

 

Installed my new AFE Filter today. Was able to find a damaged box one on Amazon for $37 shipped! Filter is literally brand new.

 

I like it!

 

@CBoy808 these look great, can't wait to install!

 

It's not that surprising. If you pull off the cowling below the windshield, you can look straight down the fresh air vent and see the filter.

 

Visited the Dealership today regarding my tranny. 2015 TRD OR DCSB. It's staying in 4th gear after overtaking vehicles at freeway speed on slight inclines. Downshifts from 5th into 4th and stays in 4th even when I take my foot all the way off the pedal. Went out with the tech and we actually duplicated the issue. He said it is weird and suggested we tackle this in steps. He thinks it's the computer forcing the tranny to stay in 4th and that could be caused by the 33" tires. Whatever, Never did it before and it just started doing this in the last 5 weeks. Anyway, First try, we'll flash the computer so everything is back to the factory default settings. He did his job and on the way home I hit an incline and made it downshift into 4th gear, it stayed there. I'm gonna play the game and go ask what the next step is.

 

Changed front and rear diff fluid to Redline 75w-85 (Amazon) and Xfer case to Mobil 1

$29 75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75w-90 LS (autoparts store). 83K miles on the 2014, this is the 2nd time I've changed these fluids. Some metal mud on both magnets. I'm going to let the dealer do the transmission fluid.

 

A lot cheaper than a TRD KNOB lol!



Test fitting it, will post once its stitched on.

 

This makes me miss my home growing up, Marble, CO.
