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

Need to box those up so they don't deform when you throttle down!

 

Great stuff! That and Meguiars

 

Removed my sway bar

 

Get out of the hills and run some flat ground for better mileage

 

New bumper.

 

HELL YEAH!

 

Just completed Lexus LX460/470 complete Front brake upgrade with a new DS Wheel bearing, new dust shields, hard and soft brake lines, pads and rotors

 

Mine too. I found these on marketplace for less than the cost of tires (at least the prices I was seeing)....$700. And even if it was a little more, I got the wheels I wanted, and I can sell the 2nd gen sports now.

It took quite a while to find 'em, which I guess means I should start looking for my next set now...and when these are done, swap em out and sell these wheels.




BTW, does anyone know the range on the TPMS sensors. I would have sworn I had em (I'm pretty sure the one time I had a flat tire, the light came on), but last night after I unloaded the old tires I went up to a local conv. store and the light never did come on. For reference, the store is...well let's see.......about a half block up, then 2 blocks to the left, then another half block to the right. These aren't New York blocks or anything, but typical small town blocks so...kinda far. Definitely farther than I would have thought they would still pick up.

If I'm not going to get a light, I'm just gonna sell 'em whole and let the next guy worry about getting the tires off.

 

Going on two years without sensors with no light. My spare has a sensor and the light comes on when it is low. Fill it up and good 2 go.

 

Interesting. I would have assumed it needed to see 5 "good" signals, or it would light up. That's good to know though...guess I'll just sell 'em with the sensors in 'em. Thanks for the info.

 

Did you bring it up with them? What did they say?

 

S/c trucks see the biggest improvement. But if you want an all around better truck and improved mileage its money well spent sir.

 

The battery hold down bracket had some rust so I hit it with some Rust-Oleum today.
Love this truck!! - you never run out of stuff to do.

 

God these things are ugly.

 

Missed the 250k mark by 3 miles

 

Got my front Superbumps on this morning.

As far as adjusting g the Fox Coilovers, that was a no go.

The spring compressor I got from Autozone to pull some tension of the adjustment collar didnt really fit and only succeeded in putting some scratches on. I piled the threads and loosened the retainer screw a little but wasn't successful in getting the collar to turn at all. I was hesitant to loosen it anymore for fear of it possibly jumping threads and damaging something.

If anyone knows of a compatible spring compressor that'd be awesome. Otherwise I may just take it somewhere and have a shop do it, though I'm leary of them doing it right.

 

Installed led amber fog lamps today

 

Thanks! I’m looking into getting winter tires on my spare oem rims. Betches is just hip lingo for bitches

 

Still working on it. It's been a pain in the ___.
I thought the rear was going to be harder. Nope, the front is.
