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

All washed up from the last outing. Won’t see trails for a few months. Another baby on the way! She’s covered in pinstripes but das ok! Walking past it to get into the house my son exclaimed “WHAT HAPPENED TO DADDYS TRUCK?!?!” As he saw it literally covered in dirty scratches.

 

Replace my burnt out 14yrs old a/c blower resistor & connector with Toyota’s new & improve shit / fix so they say.

 

Finished up putting some random tools and fishing gear in my homemade bed box. Then washed the truck and applied RainX on the windshield. Waxed the bed so far. By far though, my favorite thing I have done is clean the inside of the windshield. I'm amazed how a nice clean windshiled (interior and exterior) can affect your happyness of driving!

 

I have seen grass growing in frame rails but full trees growing in the bed of a trucks?! Thats a first for me!

 

Yeah.. embarrassing how far I let it get out of hand

 

it carried my bike to the lot

 

Finally washed her completely.
Never mind if she will be covered with dust in a few days

 

This is THE super Taco, as I like them.
Great truck

 

Finally got around to installing bed lights. Finished this up last night, also installed a pin switch on the tailgate to turn them on.

 

Dayum what polish and wax do you use?

 

Added 2 Velcro straps to my fire extinguisher just for good measure.



Also, impressed how much less bindy my steering is. I bought a new intermediate shaft as those are a common wear item because I figured it was my issue.

I flushed the 133k mile fluid 2 days ago and it’s smooth as can be now. Not sure if the fluid actually made that much of a difference or if it’s all mental.

Either way, highly recommend checking/flushing you PS system if you’re experiencing any steering bind.

Still plan on replacing the intermediate shaft because I have it.

 

Very nice I likey

 

You're really tall.

Sweet truck though.

 

Installed some new OEM 05-08 tails and a third brake light because I got tired of the DEPO ricer ones.
Also replaced license plate LEDs because they were flickering and a new stubby antenna.

Next thing I need to do is color match my bumper.

 

Slapped some new 285/70/17 BFG KM3's on the truck! Absolutely love them, so quite & smooth.

No rubbing with my Pro Rims & 3" icon lift with SPC UCAs
