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

Used mother's back to black and let me tell you something...holy this stuff is legit.

did my annual frame clean up because I live in the east coast and well, you know.

washed it, waxed it... now it's ready to get dirty again.

also, I don't recommend using rubberized undercoating for your frame..it bubbles and it's a pain to clean afterwords. POR15 is holding up nicely.

 

Powerstop Z36 pads and rotors. Probably a bit overkill, but if I'm gonna overkill something it probably should be the brakes. Apparently this is the first time anything has been done to them because everything was crusty as hell. Even broke a 3/8 extension trying to get the caliper bolts out. Need to get them bled good. Tried with my Motive power bleeder, which I swear by, but the universal adapter wasn't lining up right and then one of the lines from the bleeder broke. Replaced all of the lines and am gonna try again tomorrow. Why couldn't Toyota use a screw on master cylinder reservoir cap like everyone else?

 

Thought of showing close ups on some of the things I have gotten compliments on in the parking lot that I think is useful to add to your trucks if you don't mind spending a little money on it

1) In Toyota emblem front parking camera. You will need the interface as well

2) Eclipse retractable sunshades which make such a difference in the summer heat and don't have to worry about storing them when you are driving

3) Xpel front bumper and hood protector to help with the bugs and rock chips, & the headlight protectors so you won't get the oxidation of the covers

4) Ghost Laser Projector light for doors. Will turn on when you open the door and make your truck look super fancy to other people at night

I have the same one!

 

After I put some miles on the truck and re-torque them.

 

Yeah, my truck would have been a lot easier if I didn't have to fight almost every single bolt.

 

The front flaps got-2-go. You can live with the rear.

 

This may work for you. I made my own for my HID converted hellas and it just shook to much. After this well made product no more shakey. It would provide a lot of options for mounting pods.

Enlisted some help cleaning up rice cake bits in my cab

 

How did you do the front camera? Did it include the anytime rear cam option?

 

Is that the newer style of the eBay bumper?

So you will need to buy the front camera separately and then you will need to buy the camera interface that allows you to have the anytime camera. I posted the links in a later post but I will provide them here. I hope that helps!

Mine too. I also couldn’t get a full day to do it. The passenger upper control arm bolt was the hardest.

 

Update (that didn't take long) : Drove out of town today without the tires and the damn light comes on. Guess I'm gonna knock those tires down after-all. So just FYI for anyone that does the same...drive around for a while before you get rid of the sensors, because apparently results vary and may change over time.

 

Swapped out my broken factory Toyota spring packs for some new, heavier duty ones. No name brand, just gave the measurements to a local spring shop.

 

Ugly, but not as ugly as more rock chips all over the doors.

 

Took some super sexy pics!

 

got a little dirty one some easy "trails" today. Would of stayed longer but the other half wasn't feeling good.

 

Haha Love this!!
