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

Niiiiiice... really wish I knew unassembled and raw finish was an option but... niiiiiice...

 

BRO!!!!!

I got one of these valves and it drained SOOOO SOOOOOOOOOO SLOW, not to mention it stuck down too much for my liking. swapped it out for the stock drain plug and returned it to Amazon.

 

chill bro, gives me time to enjoy an adult beverage

Edit: also you may not have noticed the hole in the skid plate in the photo... this will avoid the pool of oil on my skids when i change the oil

 

Here you go. Honestly pretty impressed now that I see them at night. The pics really don't do them the best justice.

On. If you zoom a bit you can see the tree line about a half mile away.

Not nice. Lol

 

I'm impressed

 

How did you get all of that for just 2k?

 

You’ll need to black out your hood so you don’t go blind!

 

Added a pair of Rockford Fosgate component speakers to the front and 3-ways to the rear. Sound was better but not what I'd hoped so I added a small amp tonight. WORLDS better. Sounds fantastic now.

Morning everyone. Gotta take the truck to the tire shop at noon because last week they found a nail in my tire that couldn't be repaired. I guess one of the blessings of owning a tacoma is the full sized spare...

bigger hole.

 

Stick a tire plug in it, you'll be fine! LoL

 

Ehhh....didn't mean to come off like a jerk.

If you are patient enough and dont mind it, it's a cool little valve to have.

 

Did the old midwest idle and wait this morning at 0430.

 

just about to reach 40,000 kms

 

Hah no worries man was just returning the bro...mance?

 

Sorry to hear your troubles with the Fumoto drain valve! I remove the filler cap to help gravity drain the oil and your right... this gives you time to have a cold pop and or grease the drivetrain, argue with the neighbors, cuss out the....

 

I have the Fumoto and yes it drains slower but I really don't notice much since I am usually starting the drain right when I get home from work so the oil is warmed up. Pull in the garage, place oil collection pan under truck, open the valve and go inside to change clothes and have a drink. By the time I come back out, it's all drained.
