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

Thanks man, I knew I kept those skis for something.

 

Well they appear to have worked well

 

Very nice. I may have to copy you as we have extra pieces laying around after making a “ski bench”.

 

Replace driver Hardline and bleed the calipers

 

Amazon bar replaced with a Lightforce bar:

BEFORE


AFTER

 

Good Lord... I'd need a refund plus something more for my wasted time. That was abysmal!

 

Is that an IX? Does the software update to filter out false K alerts from the bullshit poorly designed new GM and Honda Collision Avoidance and Blind Spot Detection systems actually work?

I still run a 9500i and ZR4's in my Tacoma. I heard IX's has a software update to filter out the false, also heard mixed reviews on the Max versions?
Been waiting to get some concrete proof on what detector will kill all the false K alerts before I spend the money to upgrade detector and shifters.

Do you use LIVE too been using it for almost 10 years, works awesome on the interstate! ( I was a beta tester hehehehehe)

 

What did I do to my Tacoma today... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

Lol, in about a year, except for my baby girls wedding last summer, there hasn't been a Saturday when I actually, never did anything to my Tacoma, lol! Was going to pull front calipers today, but couple old friends stopped by last night with a used 1GR-FE, the goal was to pull the valve covers, intake, rail, injectors, upper oil pan to see if it was still good. Lol, started drinking beer and BS'n playing cards... All the sudden the sun was up. I just woke up!

Lol, I know this is the what did you do today thread, but I just realized that for me at least, I think it's more of a special occasion when it's a "what didn't you do to your Tacoma today" lol!

Just a little comic relief

 

Silicone paste on the door weatherstripping to prevent them from freezing shut. Trucks parked outside all the time

 

They look good in the dark

 

Not usually a fan of aftermarket taillights, but those look sweet!!!

 

Same here! They sorta remind me of 3rd gens.

 

Are those half red half white and selectable?

 

I actually have K locked out. They only use Ka and laser here so I've had it locked for years. I use live with my iPad mounted and yeah it works pretty well. I just sold my 9500ix for this IX so I can run the M1 with it. Super happy with it all. I got the IX at Costco for 250 with a 3 yr warranty and 1 yr of live.

 

Same here. Took my ‘15 in for service last Saturday and had dealership test battery. At 450 cold cranking amps, I thought I’d milk it out a little longer since it was showing no signs of dying.

Lesson learned, went out Monday morning and it was dead as a door nail.

 

Back in the day youd have a sign. Now the vehicle adjusts to the starting power so to your point itll start just fine, until it can't.

 

Yes they are.

 

Over the last week I have been living in my garage, which is usually a good thing;

Installed;
New Rack & Pinion
Intermediate Steering Shaft
Outer Tie Rod Ends
Serp. Belt
Idler Pulley
Power steering Pump
Alignment
Neutral Saftey Switch

Hope that I am done wrenching for a little while!

 

Selectable by use of a switch on each one

 

TITS.......
