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

Worked to track down a leak coming from the top of the back window track, pulled out all the trim to see if the window was sealed in and found the PO must have had a shop seal it back at some point, black sealant all the way around, but did give all the trim pieces a good wipe down while they were apart. Pulled back the roof trim to see a big build up of dirt and debris, worked to remove and flush out and confirm that water was exiting the bottom drain hole correctly. A few more bucket of water around the channel and it looked to be resolved. Will see how it goes during the next big rain.

 

Funny, I had a flapping noise that started in October. I parked under an Oak tree and thought there must be an acorn lodged somewhere that would blow around at 70mph, just behind the cab. I had son-in-law crawl under just this past weekend and he found this rubber tab. I didn't figure out what it was just yet... let me know.

 

Patience, listen to each other, be willing to bend to each other's wills or desires, don't make her make all the decisions even though that may seem what she wants, spoil her now and then send her flowers it may seem like a waste of money but it goes a long way, a relationship is hard work don't imagine it's all fun and games be a team, and kiss her everyday

I tell my wife I love her everyday when she leaves for work or I do because you never know if you'll see them again

 

Thirty-nine years here. I wasn't the smartest kid in the class, so I married her.
But I was smart enough to know.

 

Decided to get a bit more organized today and ordered the Salex center console organizer (http://amzn.to/2CQA7uY) and the glove box organizer (http://amzn.to/2mf0CmI) for my truck.

To make things better, Salex is running a 20% off deal when you but 2 or more of their items on Amazon.

 

Where can I get the Thermometer/Compass?

 

It's a factory option that came in some models between 05-13 I think. The best place to find an overhead console with the display is junkyards or other TW members. I added one in my 2015. Here's some good info. Let me know if you have any questions.

Yesterday I bought new wheels and tires for the Tacoma. It was dark and rainy last night so I haven't had time to take some quality photos, but I couldn't wait to share the pictures.
17x9 Black Rhino Glamis wheels
265/70R17 BFG T/A KO2's

I REALLY like the new look of the truck. Not only the look of the KO2's, but especially the black out wheels I picked. I think it goes really well with the MGM color. I'll post some better quality pictures when the weather is a little nicer.


Before and After


Album here.

 

First patch: added!



Thanks again @Longboard1110

 

I'm lost on the Tacoma benefit of the crinkle balls.

 

Looks like the rear vent cover. Which... is what I was trying to figure out.
I don’t know the internals of it. But if you tag me later tonight i’ll Send you a link to the part.

Hard to see it, couldn’t get a better picture.

 

And here is the other side of the story.....

After the wedding and reception the new husband and wife return to their honeymoon suite. The new bride sits on the bed and the new groom goes over to his suitcase, removes a pair of his jeans and tosses them to his new wife. She catches them and asks him, "What do you want me to do with these?" He replies, "Put them on." She says, "I can't fit into your jeans!" He replies, "That's right, I wear the pants in this marriage, don't forget it!" The wife gets up and goes over to her suitcase, removes her jeans and throws them at her new husband. "What am I supposed to do with these?", he asks. "Put them on!" she says. "I can't get into these.", he says. She replies "That's right, and with an attitude like that you never will!"

My advice, always be on the same team.

 

Dingle-balls of course!

 

I'm sure someone can tell you on here where to get it.... just not me. My truck is a 2009 SR5 4x4 and it was there when I bought it from a private party. It seems to be factory, I could be mistaken though.

 

Nice! The "Tacomaholic" patch would fit perfectly right underneath it! https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tacomaholic-patch-group-buy.523189/

 

I just ordered these. We'll see how well they do and how long they last.

Nice! I have one of those Grid It organizers in the lid of my center console. Got some good velcro and stuck it in. You have to cut the organizer a little to accommodate the hinges on the console lid but then you put some things on the lid too. I have a little pocket knife, wall charger, car charger, charging cable, pen, and an air pressure gauge in mine. And then the console box has like hand wipes and my hair brush lol

 

I bought some amber film from Lamin-X for the lightbars. It adds some protection to the lenses. I'll get a picture tonight to check the light output.

I like the hidden winch look.
