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

Do you have spacers? I have 265's, and was rubbing because of spacers.

 

Today while out tearin up the town with my dad, we stopped by REI and as I was walking around inside I looked out and seen this bad ass rig parked.
I know it's a horrible pic. I went out and talked to him for a few minutes. It is a twin turbo diesel Land Cruiser that they cut the back off of and added the camper box.

He had just backed out of the spot and was leaving when I took the pic.

 

That's some money cutting up a 200 series!

 

Sorted out my ML-ACR switch issue. Faulty pin caused it to not light up.


Alignment cams showed up today. Hopefully I can get all that shit done this weekend.

 

Vinyl came in. Thanks @KENNY !

 

Did some 1 1/4 spidertrax wheel spacers to push the stance out a little. Not too much but just enough

 

Yes, I am going off of the scan gauge. I used to do back up math of actual miles and file fil ips and find it to be very close

 

Thank you . I may have to invest in getting one for accuracy.

 

Oil change yesterday. Another f-ing 2 hour wall job from Wesley Chapel Toyota. I really need to do this myself or find a dealership that has a clue.
Glad I rotated the tires myself or I would have waited another hour while they scratched their arses.

 

160k wheel bearings, just a little rusty

 

Just put them in some coke for a while and then throw them back in the truck.

 

Just got my exhaust leak fixed at a local shop. Three gaskets and not one broken bolt they said with just a little heat. The best $125 I’ve spent in a long time! Feels like a new truck. So quiet. Can actually hear the motor. It’s funny that I had gotten so used to the extra noise I forgot how quiet it should be. This should improve my mpg and stop spitting 0420/0430 codes as well.

 

If you can rotate your tires than you can change your oil. Probably in less time, too, as you don't even have to jack it up.

 

True, though I hate dealing with the leftover oil and the residual mess. I like taking it to the dealership since they check everything and do all the TSBs.

 

That's like kicking a boulder then complaining that it hurts when you kick a boulder. To each his own!

 

"Check everything"

 

Get an oil drain valve like a fumoto or a catch container that seals up. Take it to your local disposal site, let then empty your container and you get it back.

You get a feel for the way things look/feel when you do your own work. Helps prevent issues or spot them before they get too bad.

Added some eBay seat covers by FH group. Decent quality. Easy to install. Let’s see how they hold up
