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

You might try spraying down the connections with some electrical connection cleaner. Nice Rig BTW!

265/65/18 which if you round up is a 32" X 11" LoL I haven't taken a good side shot in a while, Ill try to remember to take one when I leave for lunch.

Need to do a little wet sanding when this dries a bit. Then final coats of Rust-oleum matte custom

Looks awesome, what size Falkens do you have?

 

Hey that sounds pretty cheap for dealer work

 

Finally got around to giving it an oil change as I did not know what the dealer put in it, also put on a larger filter. Got a tank of fuel treatment and lubed/protected the steering joint. Last week it got the needle bearing replaced with the upgraded sleeve bushing. Truck drives a whole lot better now!

 

Can you explain the "clunk"? I think I have this same problem...
When I take off from the line fast (manual transmission) it sometimes clunks. Sometimes a single clunk, sometimes clunk clunk. Make sense? lol

 

That is a sharp lookin' truck! I really like the bronze wheels on black trucks! I've thought about painting mine bronze.

 

I think it’s broke...

 

Numbers are hard. I just recently realized it wasn’t 2018 still

 

Finally got around to applying my custom decals from @CBoy808, plasti dipped all badges on sides and rear.

Color matched the grille surround, it turned out alright. From far away it looks good, but it could use a bit more clear coat I think.

Trimmed front and rear mud flaps.

Mobil 1 synthetic oil change, washed the entire truck. It's been a busy week!

 

Looking good. When I moved my license plate I threw these Bumper Plugs in. They aren't cheap but it's a good way to cover up the holes.

It’s a replacement grill. The insert will not fit 12-15 oem grills.

Do you have a link for the grill insert?[/QUOTE]

 

It’s almost as if there’s a softball in the bed, rolling forward or back when you develop enough momentum to start going forward or stopping. Or it feels like the driveline has to clunk into place when you take off or stop. Mine has done this for almost 10k miles. Couldn’t figure it out.

 

Nice looking AC SR5. Much respect for leaving the TRD where it belongs. This is a great opportunity to ask a nagging question...
Have folks ever painted that vertical aluminum frame of the radiator that is so prominent? Is there a concern doing that with the heat involved?

I've got a AC SR5 as well, with the faux PRO grill, and I've been thinking along those lines. Thanks Ninja Steve, for the perfect photo op to ask the question!

 

I painted the radiator on my 2015. Never noticed a difference

Yep. Did it 7 years ago when i installed the satoshi grill. Gonna touch it up again soon.

 

@Ross09, I believe u have the reservoirs on the rear on backwards. Here is a picture of my Pro

 

I sure do, thanks man! Gunna have to turn them around.

 

Maybe this is from not putting them at the right torque spec

 

Those are 2 led light strips that are zip tied to the grille of the hood scoop. it did come with double sided tape but i wanted it on the inside for it wouldn't be noticeable. strips were made for 2012 and up so that why i have 2.
