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

Aactually a friends truck but were pretty much twinning it

 

some new switches

 

it was 63$ for 36 sq. ft. on Amazon, I got 2 boxes of 36 it was about 126$. It was noico 80 mil I figured if I was gonna do it, I wasn't gonna half ass it lol

 

is the roof relatively easy to get to? I imagine it would be since the whole cab wasn't very difficult for me to tear apart anyways

 

Simple green. Then 303 to protect.

I'll be cleaning my engine bay soon. People keep calling me out about it.

 

The Simple Green makes it a breeze.
​

 

Got a link to the one you are using specifically?

 

Yeah, sorry. I said 303 in the other post.

I meant Simple Green, that is the cleaner.

303 is just to protect it once its all clean.

Gotcha. So for the 303 you just spray down the engine bay after it's been cleaned with the Simple Green and allowed to dry?

 

Negativo!!! Just spray a little bit of 303 on a clean micro fiber (you dont need a lot, you will know if you used too much because it will streak) after the engine bay is clean and dried. It will leave a really nice shine and protect against dust and mud.

 

Sahweet! Thanks brother. Been meaning to give the engine bay a good cleaning, guess I don't have an excuse not to now.

 

You got it man!!! I usually rinse, apply 50/50 mix Simple Green/Water.

Rinse, wipe down, let dry and 303.

You can add some scrubbing time in there depending on how bad it is.

 

Cool. Is it not a good idea to just spray the undiluted Simple Green in the engine bay?

 

Matte black vinyl.

 

While I don't think it would hurt anything....I wouldn't recommend it.

 

Can we get a video of this when you do it. I am very intrested in cleaning my engine bay and making it look just as nice as @ChadsPride ‘s

 

ive heard that simple green dries out the rubber belts hoses an stuff?

 

I have not heard this yet. I always rinse till its gone.

Wipe EVERYTHING down thoroughly.

Then use the 303 on all plastics and rubber.

 

A video is coming for just about anything I do to my truck ....
