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

Nah, the plug is still there, probably full of crap.

 

Looks like SOS streamline without hoop. I have one with hoop and love it with or without.

20% SOS Black Friday sale going on right now if you’re interested!

 

Are you referring to the tailgate anti-theft brackets? If so I’d be interested in a set for 2nd Gen

 

I have a 1st Gen, but got tagged... Either case, I can attest that the struts are pretty SOLID!!! I've had them on a few months now and have had to lift my hood a few times since for whatever reason and everytime I do, it's honestly gotten to the point that I kindof forgot that I even have them and just lift the hood without even thinking.

I've done some wheeling since my install and the struts still work like champs. This picture is from the TW Big Bear 2019 family reunion,
coming down Heartbreak Trail.


Not super hardcore, but I can assure you the body is flexing and that was a little bit of a concern at first, but no, NOT a problem!!! We aired up a few hours later, again, not even thinking I had them installed as I open the hood. They just lifted the hood like nothing.

Btw, to the one poster,

I have CBI ditch light brackets, even though I'm a 1st Gen, I honestly wouldn't be too concerned. The hood, and mine is max lift, doesn't come all that close. Again, I realize I'm a 1st Gen, but I believe even yours would be fine and clear at max hood lift. Hope this sorta helps you?

@SpikerEng sorry brotha for being late to reply to your tag. HAHAHAHA, been pretty busy as usual!!! Tired brotha!!!

 

I accomplished a whole lot of nothing but I had fun doing it.

 

Ah ok, we’ll see if it lasts the bedding process. No it wasn’t an up charge luckily.

 

Just giving you a hard time.

 

I've been wanting to ditch my radio antenna but I don't want to leave a hole there. I want to cap it off without it looking janky.

 

that's crazy. $25 filter with new gasket, MaxLife from Walmart is $18 for 4 quarts. Easy decision for me.

 

I got the address of that person that bought something from me through PayPal... but I didn't get their name. Lol

 

Yea i was kind of shocked with the quote too, they talked about how time consuming it was to get old gasket off and wiping out the pan. They said it was over a 3hour job and around 200 in parts. I may try to get them to Email me that quote, because I couldn't make that job last 3 hours with taking my time and eating lunch and having fun with the process. And Im not an auto mechanic nor have i ever worked on an automatic transmission.

I used the Auto Zone Duralast TF225 gasket and filter, the gasket was formed perfect to fit and felt like it was of good quality. And it cost exactly what you quoted.

 

just add their TW username.

 

Nice

 

put a new pipe and filter on the old turboski and now it matches my wastegate

 

Bad ass!

 

Thank you, thank you. If I could keep the gremlins at bay this would be my greatest master piece

I had to read the original post about 3 times but I finally got it.

 

For all the married guys out there

 

Switched out the X-Grip for the RAM Magnetic Mount...100% better. So great not having to use two hands just to mount my phone in the X-Grip.

Just got Falken Wildpeak AT3W 265/70/17 to replace my Toyo Open country AT2 after 58k miles on those tires. Also gave her a nice wash/wax and rain-x treatment.
