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

I have to agree, probably not the safest option. I hadn't noticed that the jack stands were holding up the rear. Best to get at least two more jack stands for the front, but I would never rely on my hydraulic jack while underneath. Probably won't fail, but really don't want to risk it. A

I'm sure the tires would save him from any crippling injuries if they're on, so that's good.

 

I always put a lil oil on the gasket then tighten hand tight at a quick turn 1/4-1/2 turn w/ oil wrench.

 

What's a alienment?

 

You only need 50 posts to sell not buy

 

Changed out the roaring front wheel bearings, upgraded from some Mickey Thompsons to the Cooper ST Maxx both in 265/75/16. Old tires were wearing bad/cupping so between new bearings and new tires the ride is so much quieter.

 

No. This was for the tire rotation.

My truck is tall enough on 315s I don’t lift it for oil changes.

 

I can squeeze under mine on 265s stock suspension comfortably

 

No pics but I replaced the clock spring in the steering wheel this morning.

Yay I have a horn again for all the wonderful LA traffic.

 

Yanked out the frontmost sunglasses holder to 3D model it to put a GPS holder in its place

 

Had my frame inspected for the rust “recall” or whatever they call it. No holes, but they say I have “medium” rust. Have one more winter left before the program expires. What sucks is they no longer offer the rust inhibitor service. Stupid CA law. How is rust safer? Anything you folks can suggest I can do to treat the frame (as much as I can reach anyway)?

 

that’s what i use. and of course don’t overtighten in the first place.

 

Spray salt water on it and pray it goes from "medium" to "fail" within the next year. In my humble opinion, "medium" is bullshit. Translated it means, "In time the frame will fail and we hope it lasts more than one more year". By the way, the rust inhibitor service didn't work and doesn't work. Just a public relations ploy for Toyota to sell their customers on the idea they were doing "something" to fix the problem.

 

semi success, semi fail.

 

What tape did you use for this challenge?

 

I hand tighten mine and then back it off 1/8 to 1/4 turn.

 

I was going to say the same thing. You could be on 215s and still pull it off.

 

I did that on my exes car & it started leaking... so I do it this way now.

 

I had a feeling you were going to say that. hahaha I thought you looked pretty lifted!

 

"hand tighten" is quite the subjective measure. LoL
