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

Did some garage cleaning today, and put my baby in it. Washing and detailing tomorrow.

 

No you just used to loud vehicles. Peeps keep asking about a noise in the back of the cab. Im like what noise. Its not as noisy as my 93.

 

I guess. It’s the quietest truck I’ve ever had and that’s just it it’s a truck so I’m good

 

Installed some OEM fog lights today. Oh and had a delicious beverage to go with it

 

I replaced my serpentine belt today, since the shop that did my alignment said it needed to be done...

Old belt:

 

Scored a used toolbox from a friend for $40, then slipped him an extra $20 for braving the rain to install it!

 

You're right. Michelin are very good brand and quality.
If I had to use my truck on paved roads, I'd use them.

 

That looks right.

 

Hold up brether.

And please let me know your outcome with this as I've been waiting to do the same!

 

Gave mine a good bath to rid it of salt ,then get ready to rebuild my front end heavy maintenance with new hub assemblies from ( 05 taco 4x4 ) new bilstien 5100 struts ,stop tech rotors and pads, and new bushing from Eastcoast Gear.

 

Did you at least offer to yank em out?

 

Washed it, greased the upper control arms, driveshaft and adjusted the coilovers up a bit.

 

Went to the BAMF flash sale. Picked up TC skid, BAMF LCA skids, bumper frame plates, flip up license plate holder and some cool BAMF swag. Got another smoking deal. Totally stoked.

 

I love the configuration of your truck with the standard cab and short bed. I just needed the extra room of the access cab but I think the standard cabs are saweeeeet. That's a good looking setup you have there!

 

Took my truck in to have it re-aligned. Found out my alignment tabs on the front passenger corner are flattened. I smoked them trying to remove a seized alignment sleeve with the 'special' alignment tool a few months ago. I bent them back but they didn't stay.
I'm stopping by a buddy's house tomorrow to weld them and then back to the alignment shop next weekend. He got the camber and toe in adjusted well but the caster is off on the passenger side. He said not charge today, bring it back next weekend and he'll get me lined out and we'll settle up then.

What really bites it that I've just about ruined both of my passenger side tires, Michelin Defenders...... I'll probably only get about 35,000 miles out of those two.

 

Hows the wrap holding up?

 

There’re actually aftermarket headlights from eBay designed like factory headlights.

Put my snorkel to use yesterday (not really it was only like 2ft deep)

 

Hahaha. We have the same problem......

 

Well at least you have a backup now.
