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

Love your truck! Where did you get the TRD neck pillow?

 

Thanks man, they’re 33/12.5/17. They ride really nice for a mud terrain.

 

I actually got it at Autozone

And I also highly recommend the TRD seat gap filler to match with it

Got my 255/85/16 St maxxs on my method 701s yesterday at Discount Tire. Super stoked. But not so stoked on what I saw when I got back home... No clue how the hell they could have managed to scratch my shell this badly or even scratch it at all.

 

Did too much to mention regular maint. Installed a Jerry can holder in the truck bed and added additional tie down points. Have 5100,s to install on the front. Not sure what I’m gonna do with height. Haven’t decided on AAL or complete spring replacement. Don’t want to lift all that much. Truck has Michelin Defender LTX M/S Tires (new) and I don’t want to replace new tires. Waste of money. Tires are stock size. Would like black rims or TRD ones. Not sure, but my current basic stock setup is giving me 21mpg.

 

Installed some Depo headlights today first side took an hour other side half an hour. The blind bolt is a pain in the ass.

 

Found out one of the wraps on my All Pro Expo leaf packs was cracked after 3 months on the truck. The TG/AP people sent me new ones at no cost. So I spent 3 hours replacing the leafs packs and adding a Toytec 3° shim.

 

Where’d you get that can holder? I was looking them up earlier today but that exactly what I want.

Oh, and I’d just do the second notch on the 5100’s up front and leave the back alone with factory size tires. Then add an aal or leaves, crank up the front and go bigger when they wear out (which will be never cause those Michelin’s last forever lol)

 

Put 265/65/17's on and did an impression of a baby giraffe, lol

 

I ordered it on Amazon, then made angle brackets to fit the truck rail system. Needed it for my inverter, since I do a lot of camping.

Yeah, I was also thinking that second notch, for now, on those 5100. I have sumosprings in the rear because I tow a pop up camper. The Michelin’s might be helping with gas mileage. IDK. Most of my driving is on pavement, and the Michelin’s are quiet and great on dry and wet roads. Not sure about snow yet. I wanted to get KO2’s.

 

Oh ok, cool. That’s similar to what I was finding, figured I’d have to create the attachment method myself. Good job, looks great.

The Michelin’s will probably do just as well as the ko2’s in the snow. Hell, they do surprisingly well in the dirt and mud. I have ko2’s myself and work for a company co-owned by Michelin so I may be a biased haha

 

Yeah why not.

 

New tail lights and 3rd brake light. I don't know how I feel about the tail lights, maybe they'll grow on me. I'm going to open up the stock ones and paint them, maybe color match with black accents.

 

Used it to pick up a Rough Country 3 inch spacer lift today....

 

I used to use it. Makes it nice and shiny but fades pretty quick. I switched to 303 aerospace, not as shiny can, but last WAY longer and looks pretty darn good.

 

Got my windshield replaced today. The guy showed up about 30-40 mins early, took about 90 mins to do the job and most importantly to me, he cleaned up like it was his own truck. Very happy with the service.
After that I cleaned the throttle body and MAF sensor, installed a new pcv valve, driveshaft carrier bearing spacer and greased all 5 driveshaft u-joints. Apparently the dealership isn't doing it as part of my routine service. My bad for not checking it sooner.
Tomorrow is brake pads, rotors and fluid flush and probably power steering fluid flush.

 

Shined her shoes

 

Nice "spacer lift"

 

This was primarily a "restore" following a long winter and wet spring. I'll use 303 from here one out for upkeep.
