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

Installed these bad boys today! Love the black look!

 

Today.

I put the roof rack/basket/light bar/side pods back on for this weekends camping trip.

And I started packing the truck for camping.

Thanks.

 

Any full pics?

 

Anyone having their steering u-joint rusting up?

This is the second time I've had to spray some wd-40 on it.
As you've notice it's slushy on the ground today.. shit doesn't brake in nice weather..

 

I can't tell from the pic but are there zerk fittings anywhere on there?

 

That pic is not of the actual u joint just some thing to get the point across.

 

Steering shaft has no zerk figttings.

Why are you spraying wd40 on it? Mine squeaks when turning around the rubber that it goes through the firewall. I know at least @EatSleepTacos replaced his due to noise and found a fair amount of play when he too it off. Mine also makes a rattling noise while offroading so looking at replacing mine soon as well.

 

Are those the Depo lights?

 

Stiff turning

 

Does it help after you spray the u-joints? The way u-joints work unless the WD40 is getting into the cups and lubricating the needle bearings an exterior oil film won't help any. Checked the PS fld level?

 

When I did it the first time it did help.. This time I'll spray some lithium grease.

 

Pops got a new truck! 2007 TRD Sport. 60k original miles, 1 owner, garage kept, no accidents.

I'm going over today after work to give it a wax job.

He's decided to keep is 1st gen also (2001 with 450k miles, runs and drives perfectly)



Yall be on the look out for member name @ClydesPride

 

Will he 'like' everything too?

 

Highly doubtful lol. But, you never know!

 

You should probably just replace it. Like I said you spraying stuff doesn't get the lube into the cups to lube the needle bearings. It's not that expensive and a pretty simple fix there are a few write ups on here on how to do it. @EatSleepTacos did his recently and can link you to his build page where he did it and where he got the part and cost I can't find it.

 

Hell of a good find!!

 

Is his pride bigger than yours?!?!?!

 

Did he actually get a 4wd

 

Hey I have a 2008 with 332.500 original miles ..I wonder what I could get for it..
