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

I like people to be able to see my license less which is why I relocated my trailer plug to the left license light.

 

Why invert the rear shock?

 

I had the same problem, after a carrier bearing and complete driveshaft rebuild and balance I also got a @wheelers off road 3 degree shim for the rear. It solved the problem 90% there’s still a slight vib on take off.

 

Slid on my new Wet Okole seat covers. Fit like a glove! Went with all black and a white and red combo for the logo.

 

Not what I wanted, but when I was buying my FOX coilover's, they said they had a set of rears and would give me a great deal for them. I did get a smoking deal on them, just over a $100.00 bucks. Going with Kings next week.

 

I have a set of older SPC LR ucas...no zerks.

Never greased them 150k.

Whoops. A little squeaky

Ordered new bushings and the new style greasable uniball.

 

Did this yesterday. Apparently the wife wants air for the kids in the back seat.
I bought some small vacuum type tube and ran it down the pillar, under the carpet, and connected it to the floor vent under the seats. The vents are out of a junk yard mini van. It doesn't move much air. I think the tube is to small.

 

Last piece to the puzzle....
Shooting for in a couple weeks for install.

Soon to have:
New lift
New 2.5 radflo extended coilovers
New LSK upper arms
New rims
New tires
New look

Old stuff will be for sale soon. 5 wheels in my signature and front lift 2" coilovers. Great setup so far, I'm just going bigger

 

4 pods in a pack...




14 lights total?

 

Did oil change this morning, and took the Yota on it’s first road trip down to Monterey since I got it.

 

Yeah I have 2 extra. Planning to mount one under the hood and have a last one for backup or something. Idk yet.

 

Just finished installing a Dakota Digital SGI-5E to correct my speedometer. Tracks perfectly with the GPS speed app on my phone.

Details in my build thread. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/buyobuyos-build-thread.511891/page-15#post-20240110

 

Removed my mud flaps.lol

 

Stock pro

 

Vibration on deceleration any speed but mostly noticeable around 2200-1200 rpm range.

If I touch the gas it seems to go away which is what led me to believe it was driveline related.

 

what're you going to ask for the 2" coilovers? I May be interested

 

2012 Tacoma 2.7L 5-Speed Manual 4WD (85,000mi): Changed front & rear Differential Oils, and 5-Speed Manual Transmission & Transfer Case.

1. Differentials: Redline 75W-85 GL-5 Differential Oil
2. Transmission/Transfer Case: Redline MT90

$29 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75W-90 GL-4 Manual Transmission/Transfer Case Oil

Front/Rear Differential I bought new drain/refill plugs due to corrosion/rust look. All holes new plug gaskets too. For the last 4 evening I also sprayed all the refill/drain plugs with Loctite Penetrating oil JUST IN CASE I'd run into a stubborn one. All broke loose cleanly and removed smoothly. This was 1st change of these fluids since new (11/2011). I don't tow, carry heavy loads or go off road so I waited this long until it was driving me nuts to change them. Next change time probably 45K-60K.

The transmission & transfer case oils looked normal to good condition. Front differential it was time for sure! Lighter colored and seemed thin. Rear Differential was dark. All magnetic drain plugs had minimal build up of shavings. Very pleased to say the least!

 

$5 and five minutes = +5 HP

 

I don’t think the vents under the seat move much air to begin with. And they are probably outputting most of any air going their way instead of anything going to your new tube. What if you block off those vents under the seat with duct tape and see if that gives you better flow through your new vent?

 

Easily today’s most popular mod in the northeast. Soap and water..
