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

Before and after pictures of the controversial raptor grill. Haven’t made a decision myself on preference. Haven’t hooked up led yet. Many people ask if the grill insert will fit in factory shroud and that’s a NO. Totally different mounting style. I had the shroud color matched to my mgm. Any comments ?

 

Wash your gashole you filthy MF! ROTFL

 

I had to remove old peeling window tint the other day from our Chevy Equinox (wife's vehicle). I found a great video on youtube that I thought might help others wanting to remove their tint..hope it helps..

No, lazy I guess, I just stick a hose in it when it gets to acting like it needs it jerk the hose out and shut the door. Its gas hole ya know.

 

Is tint easy to install yourself?

Should keep laptops powered up in mobile office during x-country trip

 

Thank ya my fellow PA brother.

 

Got my T case drain plug in the mail. Stock has no magnet so I upgraded to gold plug. Royal Purple going in T case and front diff.

 

No dice on the tensioner bearing. Chirp is still there at idle, went away if you put it in gear. Im at a loss, it will go to the shop in the next few weeks I guess.

 

Today was min-mod day! Did the following mods:
- UNI filter mod
- TRD Aluminum Oil Cap replacement
- A/C Controls Knob replacement

Small tweaks.

EDIT: Pics of the mods:

 

Try taking a small rod of some sort watch out for the fan, and touch it to each piece spinning while the other end is on your ear like using half of a stethoscope to listen. Water pump bushing maybe?

 

After a 20 minute test run the noise went away. So

 

Went and got everything I need to do an oil change including the oversized filter everyone here seems to recommend. On the way home it dawned on me that I should install a fumoto valve while I'm at it. Long story short, oil change is on hold till fumoto shows up.

 

Finished installing All Weather Flooring in my 2014 DC

 

That's normal behavior for bearings. They shift in place and noise may go away temporarily; but noise will return. The other bearings to look at include water pump, power steering, alternator and AC compressor.

 

Im reading a lot about a throwout bearing issue. Next time we hear it I may poke my head under the truck.

 

Rotated tires . Better than going to the dealer and waiting 2 hours while they screw something up.
Plus i get satisfaction of maintaining my Tacoma.

Is that (in the pic) to the right & in the background actual houses?

 

It's refreshing to see someone:
a) use the word stalagmite
b) use it properly

 

Installed an UltraGauge last weekend. The selling point over the ScanGaugeII were the confirgurable audible alarms. As much as I try to always take a peek at my gauges as I drive, I find myself going long intervals without looking. The audible alarms give some peace of mind if coolant starts to go high, or voltage drops, etc...
