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

Sooo much cool chit here!!

 

Tried to change my rear brake shoes and drum internals but I couldn't get the drums off...

Finished a 12 pack of Sam Adams between the 2 of us though, if that counts for something.

 

There’s a oval rubber plug on back to adjust kinda a pia to reverse.
I think it’s called a star wheel/adjusters not really sure.
There should also be 2 tapped holes on the drum M-10 maybe?
These are to pop off the drums when beating them doesn’t work!!

 

I tried beating them, and even using an air hammer on it but that wouldn't do it (with the e-brake off of course). Tried a drum puller tool (whatever they're called), pry bars, and a torch to heat it up a little bit but nothing worked.

I couldn't find any bolts that fit into the threads, so i've been trying to figure out what size to get at the hardware store. I'll give the M-10s a shot. Any idea how long they need to be?

 

Not positive on thread size.
M10x1.5 is common M-8x1.25 not sure in the pitch for the M-8.
Think the ones I used were like 1/14 1/12 so like 30-37mm.
I don’t have a drill chart here so I’m running off memory lol.

 

Bought a new dual usb outlet and attempted to install it until the typhoon monsoon of a rain come by and stopped that from happening. No garage so no way to finish the install.

 

Picked up the RTT. Now just waiting on my Relentless 9” bed bars to mount it above the bed.

 

That beer worked pretty well...

 

Yup!

My old Supertones from my WRX are in my wife's FXT now. They're painted white. Not sure what colorI'm going to paint these yet.

 

I walked to my mailbox......and got my new thermostat from urd.

 

Well who said you can’t have a Tacoma and a four runner!

 

This is also an option!!

 

Don’t listen to him...drink more beer!

 

Also took an epic American picture with my Taco!!

Old s10 is my old truck that my buddy still drives as a work truck!

 

I really like the rims you have on your truck they match well with the truck.

 

Can you send me a pick of how you mounted it in the channel? I'm trying to figure it out but the clearance in the gap from the side to the hood is INCREDIBLY tight and I'm worried about rub and hit.

 

used a lubrication spray and if thay doesn't work put bolts in the holes made to help push the drum off it should release off after that.

 

Thank ya! They are the Fuel Kranks 18x9 if you are wondering.

 

This week has been a big week for the truck. I put on some custom decals from CBoy808, installed a 3" OME lift( which I posted earlier), detailed the taco, and installed LED map and dome lights, with LED vanity lights coming soon.

 

Threw a cap on there, with a bed drawer system in the works!
