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

Those are some of the best videos though. Nice to see other people struggle like I do from time to time!

 

winch solenoid, arb signal/parking light harness gone..... bumper ready to to be detached

 

Yesterday, in the variable rain... I replaced my 1.25” spidertrax with .75" Bora spacers. Like the reduced protrusion, and makes room to put bigger tires in the future without rubbing.

Before (with 1.75”)


After (with .75")

 

Well, mystery burning/hot smell in the engine bay returned. No idea what the source is. Maybe just road grit burning off the exhaust from all the black ice/salt.

 

Thanks!

It's lifted on Bilstein 5100 Shocks and OME 885 Coils, Deaver AAL, 1.25" wheel spacers on all 4. You can purchase the kit here: https://www.headstrongoffroad.com/store/p440/Coil/Bilstein_5100_Kit_-_(HS05BK-1).html




Back when I ran 35s for a few months

 

Truck started to rattle directly under me when I put it in gear and accelerate from a stop but it didn’t seem like it was coming from the transmission. Looked under the truck today:


Anyone have any idea what this band clamp is on or what it used to be securing...?

Thanks in advance

 

It may be the clamp itself rattling. More than likely a heat shield for the exhaust.

 

Pulled 30in led bar back to wipe down. What a big difference it made.

 

14 zerts? Do tell.

 

Is that an Off Road bedside sticker on your 2nd gen DCLB?

 

Mine has 9, soon to be 13. Aftermarket UCAs and LCAs have 2 per arm.

Plus the 5 on the front and rear shaft.

Edit: What he said ^^^

 

Not sure but definitely check your catalytic converter heat shield. Know to rattle. I would take it off and get new bolts and put it back on. Fixed my rattle

 

Shew I thought you were going to say you paid her to warm your but cheeks up

 

Today I finished installing a cheap-o grille. Last week was headlights. Swung by the dealership and grabbed rotors, pads, plugs and some misc. fasteners that had fallen out.

This is all the consequence of hitting 300K and having some sort of truck life crisis. I might even start washing it now.

 

Lol I was just picturing her holding a hair dryer on it get your mind out of the gutter
