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

Wasnt to bad, the most difficult part is the top bell housing bolts on the tear down and on the rebuild it was tightening the accumulator lines (I crossed threaded the top line). ALOT of people delete the accumulator but I have a kid that is learning to drive so I wanted it for obvious reasons. Soak bolts with PB Blaster. Buy a GOOD wobble or universal joint 14mm and 17mm socket and 3 or 4 long extensions in 1/2 inch. If a bolt gets rounded off use the extractor set from Harbor Freight. They work like magic.

 

Bilstein B110-5100 extended travel rear shocks and Wheelers extended brake lines installed! Droop is definitely better than the crappy OME shocks that were on there, but the springs are the limiting factor now. Hammer Hangers are in order...

 

Finished the body lift!

 

Hand washed it for the first time in 2019, changed the oil (yay fumoto valve), chassis and drivetrain lube, 5 tire rotation, and finally plasti-dipped the RWL that face the inside...I got tired of seeing the lettering in the rear view mirror after 15,000 miles.

 

Looks rad man!!

 

Nice work Jesse!

 

Put my softopper, sport wheels, and side pipes back on today

 

Installed a wireless charger for my work phone. My personal phone is always Apple Carplay in and its one less cord to keep the company phone charging or any phone w wireless charging. Cost: $15. Simple and effective. I used this how-to.

Spark plug change

 

Replaced the battery holder. New one was only 5 bucks.

 

Changed oil and filter
Cleaned MAS probably rotate my tires tomorrow for the 1st time and cleaned the interior

 

Looks good, nice job

 

Looks great!

 

Finally installed a snorkel that was laying in the garage for about 5 weeks.



I think it is some clone of Dobinson's. Bought it in local store owned by our chinese neighbors for about $55. Retail price was about $165, got a crazy discount

 

Did the bumper brackets that raise the bumpers come with the kit?

 

Wrong quote lol

@TegoTaco

 

Oops

 

Rear bumper has a 1” gap, it’s really not that bad at all...doesn’t bug me.

 

Dipped the badges...looks so much better on this truck.

 

You need to do better blocking out your license plate if you are really concerned about it.

From the picture where its blocked out and the picture where its only half of the plate but not blocked out it wouldn't be to hard to figure it out since the first half isn't blocked out well.
