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

Welcome! I’m also a recent 2nd gen owner too (x runner, so who needs a 4x4 in Miami?). The 4.0 is a delight.

 

Yes!!! & I love 4x4s also , had couple but as for the newer Tacoma’s not it my budget

& welcome also!!

 

I heated the hell out of the lower a/c bracket outside-bolt, so I can get to the CKP sensor, so I can remove cam chain cover. Thats what I have done to my 2nd gen Tacoma today.

 

How are the BAMF shackle hangers working out for you?

 

She’s a dirty girl

 

This reminds me of the brat.

 

Got new stickers from CBoy808 for my Husky weather beaters. They look OEM AF. Out with the old. In with the new.

 

Hah!

 

Got pissed looking at my fender flares....

I love that little bit of protrusion....
I ended up using gm 3/8 retainer clips @ 67¢ a piece to cover the holes.

 

Finally bought some sliders from @EddyRRT at SOS Offroad Concepts! Now the waiting begins...

 

3m tape? Just cover the holes?

 

"Riveted style" fenders or really riveted ??
I'm looking for a good brand of riveted (really) fenders.
I have 1.25" wheel spacers and mud tires;
when driving in deep mud, a lot of dirt enters inside if the windows are open

(I know, a lot of folks will say 'close the windows'

 

Thanks.
Any brand I can find on Amazon ?

 

Bought mine with 41K miles on it. Just hit 60K, figured I better change all my fluids. I don't think they were changed,by the original owner. I used Redline MT90 for transmission, and transfer case. Redline 75-90 for rear diff. I also added a Westin bed mat, so my cargo doesn't slide around like it's on ice.
I want to use the original D rings in the rear of the bed, without cutting away the liner. So I used a hole punch, and tried to re install the D rings. I definitely need longer bolts. They are odd ball, anyone found or tried this ?

 

New shoes Saturday!

 

I had nice enough weather to change the oil and filter that were 300 miles past due today!
It snows tonight.

 

Took some spacers and cut them to make custom bushings for the stock bed bolts to make free spinning d rings on the bed bolts closest to the cabin.

 

New, no-chrome grille. Gotta go black. Before and after...
