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

Installed 4.30 gears today, preassembled by ECGS. Used @MonkeyProof's write up and it went in easily!

And installed wheel bearings done preassembled by @05Taco4x4. Quality stuff and makes it an easier job, just take the old ones off, and slap the new ones on.

Both took all day but saved a couple thousand bucks in Labor!

 

Quick question, with your wiring, does it just up and over the side of the cubby box towards the engine bay?

I'm about to install mine within the upcoming weeks and was trying to figure out where the wiring goes .

 

I drilled a hole in the back to slip the relay and power plugs thru, had some extra 3/8 wireloom that I lined the edge of the mount and hole i drilled.

 

Took the driver side plastic top of the bed trim off today (passenger sider blew off a year ago) and then painted the top of the bed black on both sides. This is in preps for steel top of the bed panels I'm designing at work to be cut out on a CNC plasma table.

Try this on ur clutch I use it on the dakars and its super stuff...lasts about 6-8 months on the springs..

 

Do you have a link to the diff swap write up? I ordered a 3rd member from ECGS on Friday.

Thanks to TW for write ups and helping me spend money

 

The image isn’t there. Would be keen to see them.

 

Don't you hate that when you get busted !

 

Friday i redid my cmc's since i didn't cut enough out the first time, bent my pinch weld back and re welded where i cut it, and added coil bucket gussets.
Then yesterday i put my new wheels on.

 

Did you just replace the light?

 

Did you have to cut up the ARB bumper? And are those 285s?

 

Which hidden winch mount is that? Truck looks great

 

105K Miles:

• Oil & Filter Change
• New engine & cabin air filters
• Replaced (a portion) of power steering fuild (using turkey baster method)
• Cleaned engine bay (simply green & garden hose)
• Lubed drive shafts - who doesn't like lubing a shaft on a Sunday

@Plain Jane Taco - hopefully I didn't drain the transmission fluid.

 

4x4 switches arent illuminated for tacomas, installed a led pcb

 

wonder if this is for an 09 too, and I guarantee me having a HS progressive AAL would knock me out of it

 

I wanna use some bad language here. But I’ll leave it at. It’s a PelfreyBilt Hidden winch mount ... it’s a great design. Pretty easy install
