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

Sweet truck

 

got her back on her feet after being in the garage for a week for winterization. fluid filmed everything, new oils, washed and waxed, and changed the plugs out.

 

Well, not today; I'm just getting around to posting some pics from last weekend.

This happened. RCI bumper on my '10 DCSB Sport painted in quart-can Rustoleum (gloss white, it's a Sport thing; even I don't understand)

​

 

Just put the same kind in mine today!! I gotta adjust them though, lol their way out of whack, lol

 

Sharp looking truck! You're making me want those wheels again and maybe a hard shell I have a soft one now

 

Got to love living in Cali! No salt to get up in the cracks

 

I get it!

 

Yeah I was very impressed! It's not a brand I had heard of by a guy was selling it for 150 bucks and when I looked it up they sold for 750+ so I figured why not. I'm pleased with it.

Thank you!

 

Prepping for a bumper tomorrow. More pics to come tomorrow. Cant wait

 

New plugs, cleaned MAF and TB, new gear oil in rear diff, front diff and transfer case. Installed shocks and struts/springs from a 3rd gen TRD OR, makes the front end sit about perfect with the SOS Concepts front bumper on it.

 

Beautiful truck man, what brand is that front bumper?

 

Brute Force Fab. When the funds are available I'll be going through him for a high clearance rear and bed cage

 

Started on some slight upgrades today



More of a PITA than I thought.. gonna finish her up tomorrow

 

And now it's time for an oil change, tire rotation, and driveline grease, hurray. installing this tomorrow! Then maybe @crashnburn80 's ultimate brake upgrade in the near future

 

I've got the oversized 338mm 4runner parts waiting for install. Just need all their companion parts to show up to get it done.

 

I may have to do this as well! Thanks for sharing

 

As @dpele posted, flexseal tape might be a good temporary solution. Ever thought about installing a ham radio or two way?

Got me me from one place to the next in a super early foot and half snow fall! Going through snow is almost effortless and it is why I love my taco.

 

New rear brakes. Old set was original as far as I know. I bought the truck at 50k and currently have 183k miles. Feels tight again. Main spring was a pain but everything went smooth and knocked it out in about 2 1/2 hours

 

Did the OME carrier bearing drop, fixed the take off shudder the 08 got after the lift. Also looks like we may take a trip to Raleigh to have an ECGS bushing installed next month. 30-40mph hum that goes away when 4hi is engaged. Guess that means the needle bearing isnt happy with the lift. Its not a vibration that can really be felt more of a humming noise so I dont think its as bad as others get, but still worth fixing.

Also slapped a for sale sign on the 92...
