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

Right on, thanks for the link and info. I didn't know the XRunners came out in BRM. Most XRunners around here are black or red. Small town I guess.

 

Loaded her up yesterday with one of my kayaks for a short dive.



Also did the secondary air filter change.


Everyone's doing it...

 

Just purchased JBA UCAs

 

When I put my clamp on I put the gate at a 45° angle and tightened the clamp up thru the gap between the bed and bumper.
Gives it a little more added security since I've had my gate stolen before.

 

Good call. I went with the ones that are not tightened with a flat head screwdriver.
Its closer to a 1/4 inch ratchet fitting when the plastic piece is removed. I should have taken a closer pic.
I'll probably redo it the way you did just to be safe using an extended ratchet.

 

That is what I have to do now, 285/75/16 and 285/70/17 are 0.1 different in height. Love the ride with the added width. Gas milage went to hell, but it is a truck

 

Rough day....10 miles into the CO backcountry the truck wouldn’t drive....no way in hell a tow truck was getting in (2 steep river crossings) no cell service....put it in 4 Lo and noticed that when I gave it the beans everything except for one wheel worked....turned out to be a seized parking brake... was able to jarr it loose by banging the drum...put everything back together, drove it to make sure it worked (it did) then. Pulled the brake out of habit when I stopped and had to take the wheel back off and do the whole thing again....:/ brake now has ductape on it and says “one time use only” on it...glad I have a manual tranny


Note

The most useful thing of any highlift jack is the handle.

 

I ran it thru a car was to remove all the Saharan sand/dust it was covered with.

Also used it as a truck to pick up a load of cedar mulch.

 

Similar thing happened to me while wheeling the other weekend. I was trying to make it up a steep obstacle, and got my front end up and was using the parking brake to keep from rolling backwards. When I disengaged it, my rear driver tire was locked up. I reengaged and disengaged it and it made a loud bam and broke free. Haven't had any problems since. No idea why it happened.

 

Weird...I’m doing a 10,000 mile trip through the us and Canada right now (coast to coast) so i just got it to the point where I felt it wouldn’t be an issue and left it for now...definitley an “ohh shit” moment though...
I’ve been chalking the the truck when I park it now but that’s just cause I like “2 layers of keeping it in place”

 

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it too much and I agree with chocking the wheels. I always do parking brake and first gear when parked for that very reason. I don't want my truck rolling away haha I'd just service the drum brakes when you get home and call it a day.

 

Haha that’s the plan

 

I just got the Uni filter for the secondary air pump filter mod. Are you guys oiling it?

 

These are taller tho. They’re 75 not 70 so they’re 34s. Gas mileage gonna suck regardless prob

 

I've been really enjoying my power tailgate lock. I initially installed the manual lock model, then added the power later. Should've just done everything one time. The lock is a little loud locking and unlocking, but since disabling the truck lock beep, I listen for the tailgate lock now.

 

Negative.

 

Maybe he is meaning 285/75r17.

 

I think I'm tracking now. I thought that @mreen428 was saying there was an inch difference between 285/75r16 and 285/70r17 (which is wrong) but really I think he's saying that he switched to 285/75r17. Makes sense now.

 

Now I think you were right!
WTF is going on here?!?!?!?!

 

No one knows!
