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

Mine didnt?... wtf?

 

Idk bud there’s so many little differences and quirks with these trucks I’ll never figure it out. Mine was a ‘13 sr5 ac at 4wd. The guess some years they did and some years not.

 

So what to do on a rainy day....been trying to figure out what to do with the winch line blanket....was gonna tack weld em ....naw ...went old school, drilled out a coupla threaded rings and made rivets outa some alum rod, attached a fender washer to each and 2 slot nuts done...nothing fancy, may not be permanent, but shot the afternoon,,did I mention a couple of Angry Orchards were involved....





Also sometime back Nub pin striped a bunch of shovels for ??? but I thought they were way cool, got one done to follow thru the tail gate work....

 

Yes, you pivot it upward a bit, and it just slides right out of the side mounts.

 

Received my subdued American flag decals from @CBoy808 this past weekend. Just installed without issue and I think they look great!

 

I did the OEM big brake upgrade, braided lines on the front new hard line between the braided and caliper and put new wiper blades on...

Rear braided will hopefully get done next weekend when I do the oil.

 

How much of a difference is there in braking?

 

More than enough that it was worth it.

 

Sky's out, thighs out! Don't be jealous!

 

Spc

 

Your telling me... again wtf? Lol

 

I did a non EAF thing today.

But this has been needed since day 1 back to August of 08. Bluetooth, Apple car play, cd/dvd, so many features. And for $340 I but the bullet

LCD screen has been messed up for years. Changed the lights to white and pressed too hard with my thumb lol

 

Got my 5w30, filter, Redline MT-90 for trans and 75w90 for axles. Doing some servicing on Saturday. Need to replace UCAs and LCAs and all four tires.

 

For the past few weeks I've been hearing a clicking noise when I raised & lowered my passenger driver's side window. It had gotten progressively worse recently.

Just about a year ago I had that moose collision and had that outer door skin replaced as part of the repair. The shop that did the work has a lifetime guarantee, so I stopped by after work to see if they could take a look. I figured I'd have to make an appointment, but they took it right in. One of the bolts that holds the window on the track had loosened, causing the window to shift.

I was in & out in under 15 minutes.

Standup business!

 

Good stuff! That sound is normally associated with a loose or binding power window arm/linkage thing, so you should be good to go!

 

Yup...the noise is completely gone now and no more shifting. It was only doing it when the window was near the top where it's tighter in the side channels, thus causing the shifting on the bottom track when going up or down.

 

Yea I understand I the whole taking apart housing, I’ve done the black headlight mode

 

Pelfrey aluminum bumper, saving 55 lb. Gotta outrun the S5 and Tesla somehow

 

Looks not so bad, but I wouldn't do it.
With big tires and wheel spacers, the truck is completely sticky with mud, including windows, windshield, mirrors ans roof
