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

Happened so fast I forgot to even take pictures....that was the easiest oil change or nearly any maintenance I've done on any car I've ever owned...maybe because I finally got a truck!

Also wanted to treat her nice before we crossed our first milestone...oil was pretty dark so glad I got around to it...now to update that pesky light and plan my front and rear diff fluid changes!




Any of these rust spots of major concern? Unsure of the reason for the rusty bracket that attaches or holds nothing below the oil cap...should something be attached there!?


Also the rust on the top side of the rubber boot down behind the random rusty bracket.

 

how many miles did you drive before changing out the uniball on the TC UCAs?

 

About 40% shorter I believe per the description on URD 's website. Definitely felt an immediate difference after I put it in. Highly worth the coin if your rig is your daily driver. Will post up some pics later on of knob and install.

 

Volunteered to pic up dinner so I could roll her over before I had to go to work in the commuter tomorrow! Also got rid of that pesky light!

 

Did some reorganizing of my roof rack. Now I know, I can fit it all up there!

 

Nope. Seems like PA DOT paves the roads about as well as they plow them.

 

Thanks boss

 

Changed out grill, well Made and perfect fit for a faux TRD pro
Many thanks to (op) jp_flynavy for the GB

 

i rode em for about 40k and i bought the UCA's used..probably not recommended but both uniball and bushings seemed fine still..in fact i kept all 8 bushings and both uniballs to have as "emergency trail back ups"

 

Mines rusting & I have 4popper but I think it's a heat thing. Feel free correct me if I'm wrong...

 

That's bout right to pittsburgh... & originally I thought western md was bad lol

 

That's awesome. Wonder if it would fit wide mouth hydro flask also

 

Them wheels though sick combo

 

I restored the black trim parts on my 08 this weekend using TriNova Plastic & Trim Restorer. Kind of pricey, but a little goes a long way. Even the black trim piece next to the mirrors look brand new, and the rubber window trim looks better than it has in years.

I wasn't expecting big results, so I didn't take any before and after pics.

We'll see how long the results last, but so far I'm a believer.

 

Someone might have asked this already but did the new skid bolt right up or did you have to modify it? Been looking for info on this for so long!!

 

it bolts right up.. you remove the old bolts and use the ones with the new skid. easy peasy!

 

Installed my new Headlight Services wiring harness, bulbs are on the way. I just couldn't wait! Pretty easy to do actually.

 

Used it to jump my work pickup this afternoon, battery is from 2010 probably due. Also, taught the summer help guy how to jump a vehicle also.

 

My truck got 5 years old this week, time fly. I gave her a bath. Here are some pictures, I think still a beauty, what do you guys think?

 

Curious if anyone has added a Rhino rack with the Rhino backbone on the cab. If so what size (model #) how is the fit and finish? I have seen a few pretty good deals but wanted to make sure I picked up the right size. (if you have, let me know the size and post up some pics)
