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

Whatcha shopping for at Lowes?

 

Dug it outta the snow

 

That SUCKS! Bird shit all over that hood!

 

I need a little plug I think it's 1/4" pipr thread to plug a hole in the pump on my electric power wsher. It's where the soap hose had gone in but I never use it and bumped it on something and broke it. So, nothing exciting and I've just about convinced myself to wait until I actually need to go to town. Just bored I already washed the truck and about froze

 

Put on a cheap 32 inch light bar I got on Amazon by Nilight. I'm not doing anything nuts, just driving back from telescope nights in the desert.

 

Over winter break, I picked up a used Hi-Lift Xtreme (48") and some related accessories from a fellow Tacomaworld member. I created some winch tensioners so I could use the jack as a winch without buying the super expensive Off-Road Kit. It was very easy and inexpensive! There are more details as well as a link to a related webpage in my build.



I also got a TRD 6 Speed Shift Knob for Christmas, and so far I love it! Shifting is even more enjoyable now!

Good stuff there Bud

 

Thank you! Currently planning the same headunit, how do you like it so far?

 

I'm happy with it. I also changed out my cigarette lighter with a usb adapter to the back of the radio. It charges and car play works. Only thing I want to find out is if I can choose which apps show up on the home screen.

 

Not too much. I actually used your video to do it. Didn't use the the hose to drain the oil filter though just stuck a cup under the drain. Also couldnt get the old washer off so I just left it on. It was fused to the oil pan.

 

For the ones with lifted trucks, I’m guessing our factory jack is useless. Without sliders and a hi-lift jack, what are your plans for fixing a flat? A hi-lift jack, jack stand, and wheel straps or what? I’ve always wondered what I’d do. Maybe just keep a plug kit in the truck with the Viair 88?

 

Got my truck aligned after installing king coil overs and TC uppers, are these good numbers? And Is there a way to improve them?

 

Jack from the axle or LCA and the stock jack will work. To jack from the frame you're going to need another option.

 

Thinking of switching to the fumoto with your next oil change?

 

I'll use a hi-lift ... but you can't just use that on a stock truck. Gotta have sliders, or a safe access point on either the front or rear bumper (or receiver hitch).

 

Maybe, I think I'll have to take my skid plate off to get the washer off. Didn't feel like dealing with that today.

 

I would think the jack would still work if placed under the axel or control arms. perhaps I need to check this myself

 

I upgraded today...From red to blue...

 

Next time use a razor or flathead screwdriver to get the old drain washer off. They always stick. It just takes a second to get it to pop off. Leaving the old one on and stacking washers isn't good.

It should unless you're running a really large tire size.

I'm on the stock suspension with 1" taller tires and my factory jack is barely enough to get the wheels off the ground lifting from the frame. I lift from the axle or LCA with the factory jack.
