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

Got my coolant flushed and filled at Tires Plus for $80. I wanted to DIY but I can't carve out the time.

 

Installed a GNTX-453 mirror from Bob's and replaced rear door speakers.

 

Detailed the engine bay, my technique is mint as you can see. Then got her dressed up for crimmuh szn

 

Anyone have experience with the 4th or 5th gen Rav 4? Can't decide between the two for my new DD

 

5th gen. My mom has an adventure and is great minus not being fast enough for my tastes.

 

I think you meant to quote @Its_Your_Cousin_Vinny on that one.

 

Finally installed a rear facing camera for my new head unit. It's a game changer in my apartments cramped parking lot. Wish I did this before I got a few bumper and fender flare scrapes trying to squeeze into my parking stall.

Pretty easy install. Hardest part was getting the wiring through the grommet leading into the cab. Those things are a tight fit!

 

ive had 2 4th gen RAV4s, a 2015 XLE and a 2018 Adventure. If they are just daily commutes, they are fine. Sold my 2018 Adventure because I live in the Rockies and it had a hard time getting around—I was killing it. The 2015 only stayed in town, so no problem. The 2015 and below to ? Has a auto transmission problem (defect) Ours started acting up under 40k miles—got rid of it. Also water pumps don’t last long and had nothing but problems with power lift gate on 2015.

 

Thanks If I went 4th gen I would get the last year offered, 2018. 5th gen would be 2020.

 

Does anyone know if a 2018 TRD Pro exhaust would fit a 2015 trd offroad? (Both double cabs) Ive seen posts that they are almost identical from the Cat back in length and the bends as well. But would like to confirm before buying as i have one close by i see for sale for cheap. PLEASE, has anyone done this mod?

 

Do you know what exactly they flushed it with? Just curious.

 

Last night I swapped out the muffler. Today I was going to finish it up and install the tailpipe. It turns out that first I gotta change one of the nuts that's welded to the Y pipe because I boogered it up last night in the dark. Lol
Uh oh, it looks like I've weakened the flange with my welder... back to my welder I go... lol.

 

Swapped out my smittybilt awning which worked perfect on my Jeep but is to long for the taco for this arb I was nervous going with such a small awning but it actually has a pretty big footprint when open.

 

Thanks yeah truck will most likely stay the same but maybe the camper I never have liked the green

 

Oops sorry

 

One of the pulleys of the serpentine belt is making noise.

Is there any way to know which one I have to replace ??

 

I've used an auto stethoscope but it's a bit risky putting the prong part on the bolt of each pulley while the engine is running.

The other option cold be to spray some silicone lube or something similar at each pulley one by one until it becomes quiet.

Thanks for this idea

 

The oem Lexus fogs mount up no problem? That's really cool! How much light output are you getting?

 

And here I thought only my dad liked Schlitz. Cheers!
