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

Aluminum or steel Pelfrey?

Edit: Just checked your build, steel

 

Hit 6000 miles on my Fox 2.0 suspension lift, UCA's, deaver add a leaf, new wheels and tires, and ECG bushing. I am extremely happy with it, no complaints, truck is a different machine; handles the road better, tows better, handles the rough trails way better (obviously), and just generally drives so much nicer.
So I spent all day in the garage today. Rotated the new tires (275/70R17 General courser AXT 17x9 -12 o.s.). Also did a full tuneup, including spark plugs(NGK IRx Gap was huge on the stock ones I think they were copper), air filter, PCV, belt (continental gator-back), tensioner, idlers, oil change (Mobil1 oil and filter) and flushed the coolant (Toyota pink). Removed and replaced power steering fluid, and as I do every three oil changes, removed and replaced 4 quarts of Toyota WS transmission fluid. It was a quart and a half low the first time I did it at 15,000, I used the scan tool to establish temp, and checked through the plug, since then I just remove four and replace four. Going to check the level the next time I do it just to be safe
I replaced the rear diff fluid, transfer case fluid, and front diff fluid, filled them all with 75/90 synthetic Mobil one, (TRD off-road no limited slip) the fluid in all 3 still looked brand new when I emptied them, hardly anything on the magnet.(found that a 2 foot ratchet with a 24 mm socket works best on drain and fill plugs) I finaly got around to drilling out the 6 plastic-rivets, and removing the hydrocarbon filter, from behind the air filter. I also took the foam filter out of the secondary air pump, and replaced it with the Uni filter.
I did the brake pads, centric ceramic (came with pins and hardware), rotors (Wagner premium), stop-tec extended stainless steel braided lines, front and rear, removed drums, rear brakes still perfect, cleaned them up, adjusted, and reinstalled, flushed brake fluid in entire system with DOT 4 severe duty. I also refinished the calipers and drums (sandblasted and painted black) . .
Going to keep up this maintenance regiment, see if I can't get a mileage record with this one.

 

That's a laundry list!

Hopefully one day I'll have the skills to do half that list. Love your lift and shop

 

Thanks buddy, I work on all of my own vehicles, then I know it's done right. I was only going to do a couple of the jobs I needed to do; but I kept saying it's already on the lift, and the 70lb tires are off, I might as well do them all..

 

Wax tomorrow

 

If she asks...just say, Honey, I'm making dinner..it's a surprise and don't look..

 

How much did the bumper cost you? How much does it weigh, estimated? I checked the site but they don't list any prices.

 

Thanks! It's TM.

 

Installed and spooled my winch, and also unboxed and set up my RTT.

 

I gave 1135. Shipping included. Price varies, depending on the options you choose. Custom order ,they call it. Options include:
The euro bars ,protecting the grill,shackle mounts, sleeves to mount original driving lights, color of powder coating
Oh , and winch mount, which I did not get .
If ordering don't be in hurry for it, claim it takes 3 to 4 weeks. But in reality ,it took 8 weeks to receive.

 

Thanks.

I got mine from auto anything

 

Damn that's a nice looking truck....

 

Trip to Hazardous Waste disposal. 11 years worth of crap!!

Then, yard sale score. ScanGauge II for $30

 

Fixed my windshield wiper sprayer and changed out the bulbs in my ARB fogs this morning. The sprayer wasnt working so i started out by blowing out the tubing with compressed air and cleaning out the tank to check for obstructions. That didnt do the trick so i then proceeded to take the tank out of my other truck to see if it would work using that. It did, so i narrowed it down to being an electrical problem in the truck/a fuse and eliminated the clogged tube as a possibility. I took the tank out of the one that wasnt working and took the connection apart on the bottom of the tank. It turns out it was corroded and starting to rust inside so i cleaned it up with some scotch bright and blew it out with compressed air also. Then i hit it with some wd-40 and blew it out a couple times repeating that process. I hooked it all back up and it started working again! Im glad it wasnt some other electrical issue, just a bad connection on the bottom of the tank

 

Fun with plastidip. Kinda a bitch to get the lines clean, but doesnt look too bad if I may say myself.

 

Changed oil/oil filter. Lubed up drive shaft, rotate tires. Fixed coolant hose leak and then Washed engine bay with Gunk and Gunk Detailer.

I have a lot of fun doing work on the truck. Anyone else feel the same way?

 

if you do any moderate to difficult offroading, then go with the HC bumper. cut those fenders and dont think twice.

 

Looking good Glen!
