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

I wish you well, but in your video it looked broken. That was probably the pop that you heard when panel came up.

 

I'll check it out. Still was securely attached afterward so I'm not too worried about it.

 

Finally got this done thanks to @glorifiedwelder clean welds.

 

Thanks, and no, truck just hit 65,000 that's why I did all of that. I change the oil every 5500 or so and 4 quarts of transmission fluid every 3 oil changes. Differentials and transfer case about every 20,000. This is the first time I have done the belt, so I figured I would do the idlers and tensioner at the same time. And the brakes should be good for a while. Nice feel with the stainless lines and DOT 4.

 

Im organizing a group buy for Advanced fiberglass fenders and bedsides! Up to 25% off if we get enough people. Go check it out!

MT or AT?

Your tranny must love you. I did My first tranny change 2k ago and plan to do it every oil change for the hell of it. I don't drive many miles so it'll be once /yr.

 

me too, know of any threads that cover said thingy?

 

He probably even washes it !

 

Didn't even know people did this. Is it on the cheap mod list?

 

install oil/vapor seperator....hope Toyota hasn't forgotten anything else, running outa room

 

man i wish i could devote myself to that type of routine
that truck is in good hands

 

I just installed that knob by itself. It looks good with the grommets though.

 

There is another camp that believes it should never be cracked open. I'm in that camp.

 

I agree about AT fluid not being changed unless a lot of towing is done.

I have a manual trans so I do whatever.. I also grease my u joints very often.... lol

 

Every 30k on a manual trans is about the correct interval for changing fluids, same goes for differentials. Which reminds me.... I need to do mine again

 

Auto trans, I don't trust flush machines, there's always something left from the fluid that was in it before, and as far as dipstick service, well obviously we can't do that. I do four quarts every three oil changes, fluid is always in the same nice red color, and transmission shifts and behaves exactly the same as when I bought it.

 

Hmmm plan on doing a write-up?

 

Mounted my 60'' Hi-Lift above my platform today.

 

Is this anything simular to an "oil-catch-can" are they one and the same?.....or are these two entirely different separate functions?

 

Well now that looks like fun rt there.
