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

Plasti dipped some badges. Still deciding if I want to try to dip the wheels

 

I don't plan on getting ri of this thing. It's gunna see 1,000,000 one way or another

 

LOL same here!

 

Nice! I know you couldn't do that with a short bed

 

Got my proper front springs in. Funny how much faster jobs go on the second time around. And also with an impact gun.



Now shes sitting properly.



And a bonus shot of the temporary racing stripes she wore for the autocross yesterday

 

As Tacoma owners we should know that you can never have enough rust protection. Thanks to @EatSleepTacos for this vid's outro image!

Lies

 

Hopefully eliminated my throw out bearing chirping.

 

How did you manage this? Push rod adjustment?

 

I added a couple washers to the spacer on the clutch pedal. Probably a temp solution, but I'll enjoy it for now.

 

Nothing... Changed the rack in my brother's 1st gen Tundra. It rusted through the housing behind the mount. Learn I'm getting too old to do this kind of work from the garage floor without a lift.

 

Nice!

 

Some goodies came in the mail on Friday. Can't wait to have it installed tomorrow!

 

Waterproof roof rack storage stage 1 done.

 

Link?

 

Installed a @Pelfreybilt front bumper!

 

Spent some more time with my cab rack today









Starting to feel better about the design staring at it in the daylight.

One huge problem...with the way the Rhino Rack load bars sit on the rack, you have to assemble the whole rack then put it on the roof. Its a pain.

I have an easy idea to fix this, I just need to go to the hardware store and pick up a few things.

Tomorrow, I should have the rack sorted out 100% and hopefully the mounts as well. Once the rack's done and mounted, I can move on to the next project - building a larger fairing with a 40" single row light bar.

 

Definitely put in some sound deadening material. As for your carpet, you'd be surprised what dawn soap, a bristle brush, and some elbow grease will do. I got it with the shop vac after and let it air dry for the rest of day in the hot summer sun. I also set the carpet up off the ground on a couple pallets with fans blowing underneath and over top. Came out like new!

That said, black carpet is really nice. All black everything

Over achiever...

 

ECGS bushing is in! Between my not being the most mechanically inclined and also a perfectionist, it took longer than it probably should have

Gonna put it all back together tomorrow and change out the diff and transfer fluids. Excited to see if the vibes are gone
