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

Just made a second key for my truck. I got the key off Amazon a while ago, just to find out it can't be programmed like all other Toyotas. I read another post in here about https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UUOTNZ4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_pNM4BbR588D1J
It worked good.

 

Been a while since I last posted on here. New tail lights installed. Loving the look

 

I like the white badges too!!

 

Just picked up from Eddy at SOS Concepts



Recovery point welds look like they’ll hold just fine

 

Oh, and I really like the look of the silver xspx trim on the bumper, should I paint this thing silver or just stick with black? What y’all think?

 

Murder it out!

 

Since I’ll probably do black retrofits eventually, I’m kind of leaning that way...

 

I agree with him.

 

Unless the product has been redesigned make sure you check to see if there are any rubbing issues with the panel. I had some chaffing marks where the panel scratched through to bare metal over time. I ended up trimming the panel in a few key places and touching it up with black paint. I love the look of the panel and still happy I purchased it.

 

Welcome back!

 

May I ask why two brands of Spark Plugs. NGK and Denso? do they go on different banks of engine? I am just curios I keep seeing it in this forum. Thanks

I'm sure it's a dual source contract thing between Toyota and the 2 suppliers of plugs. If one supplier does down for whatever reason, Toyota can just order more from the other supplier.

 

Before: After:
I cant believe I waited about a year and a half after buying this truck to take them off. Looks way better IMO. They felt sturdy when I had them on, but they weigh less than 10lbs each and probably would've caused more damage if I actually hit something.

 

Woke up to this tag-along this morning. Was not able to actually get a plug to stick so I decided to load it up and take it to the nearest tire store. Dropped the spare and found out it only had 20psi in it . Waited 15 min for my tiny air compressor to get 40psi in it and pumped the tire up enough to limp me 2 miles to a firestone just up the road. Fun fact firestone stores will not attempt to plug a tire if it has already been attempted to be plugged for "liability reasons". So now I am waiting for them to mount and balance a new tire. I asked for the original tire back since I just bought them in the spring. I am going to have a small place that doesnt have legal breathing down their neck to plug, mount, and balance the original on the spare steelie so I have a matching size spare.

 

What's wrong with 20 psi? I drive home from the trails @ 14

 

washed and while washing i found a torn boot -- looks like ill be swapping in a spare cv this weekend and rebooting

 

Looks like your "A" team is on the job.

 

He loves helping papa. He is like my shadow....obviously I'm loving it it
