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

True I didn't think that I could do them separately / different days as long as I don't activate 4x4

 

Filed a claim with State Farm today. I was Uber driving last night when a dude ran a red light and T-boned me.

 

What a shit show...So I need to build a mounting panel for my sPOD and ML-ACR...pretty much the only thing I got done today was trimming the overhead console and routing my wiring for the sPOD through the headliner.





And does anyone see an issue with my ARB Compressor positive leads going to the power post?

40amp fuses on each lead with the sPOD acting as the switch. Thoughts?

 

Haha man I am ocd to the max, so I was freaking out(even tho I knew it would be fine) when I did the front by itself. As long as there’s no 4wd activated tho, it’ll be all good!

 

Moved my brake controller from the storage infront of the shifter (da** you uhaul for drilling a big hole through the alignment pin) to below the fuse panel door.

 

Got old blue out for some fun. Still out here going everywhere these Jeeps go, lots of black diamonds and did great!

 

Installed a new set of rear drums. Painted them so that they didn't look all rusty like the old ones.

 

Wear your knee pads gonna bash it good for a few weeks then periodically when you are in a hurry! I moved mine to the storage compartment by the shifter.

 

Lol. High mileage oil is good. I ran it in my 3.4L when I had it.

 

I checked that. No problems for me. I actually zip tied it up before I mounted it just to see if Id hit it.

 

Curious as to how you like it, I also have a 2.7L

 

Did the oil change today and filled her up with gas

 

Finished the install of my Pro Comp ProRunner UCA's and Sway-A-Way 2.5" coil overs as well as replaced the lower control arms with new ones. Looks good, rides good, just need to get that Alignment completed!

 

Got up early and drove 100 miles to buy a set of TracRac's for my Taco I found on CL. I put them on right there where I met the seller before driving back home. Going to be set for this kayak fishing season. Save a lot of dough so well worth the drive.

Came home and threw in a new 6yr Napa battery after giving the battery tray and surrounding area an good cleaning.

 

I removed the rear bumper and tow hitch from my truck to knock the rust off of the hitch with a grinder and then I epoxy painted it.
It was 50+ degrees out today perfect weather. Going in for a frame swap and I couldn't see putting the rusty hitch on a new frame.
it looks much better. the best part is i don't need to put the hitch and bumper back on, I can just hand it off to the dealership.

 

Primed a nice pair of DOM 10° BAMF sliders today!
Thanks again @JLee


Have these to go on soon:
Pretty sure I read that a hole needs to be enlarged though.


...and I may need some welding help with these:

 

Did my 80,000 mile oil change today. I think next time I will start using High Millage oil.

 

Swapped the tiny factory trans cooler for a real one! Still need to finish trimming the bumper cap for the DTF bumper but got caught up in a few other projects on the truck so will have to wait till next weekend to button the front back together but almost there........

 

Its a 32 inch bar. But thats bolt to bolt. The actual light is 30 inches.

Its an ebay noname bar that I got from a coworker, but it is on the list to get upgraded. It does well for something that gets used so seldom, but there are far better options if you have the money.

 

For those who have done a regear, did you get the TACOMA 8.4 NON ELD/ T100/ TUNDRA - SOLID SPACER installed?
