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

Drove it to buy a box of crackers.

 

Installed the 4x4 switch back-lighting kit to fix what the factory forgot!

Got rid of the crappy stock radio.

 

Welded the slip joint in the steering column. My steering is tight again!

 

I know your steering would feel tighter if you weld that but it is designed to slip in case of an accident. It keeps the steering wheel from coming at you in case of a frontal collision. Just in case you didn't know.

 

Yep, thats why its only tacked in 2 spots. Those welds will break in an accident... hopefully lol.

Oh and on my drive back to school (90 miles) I realized I have the wheel cocked to the left by on spline because I stupidly didn't mark it. I guess it is possible to put in in wrong even though it has a notch for the clamp bolt. Now I get to re do it next weekend.

 

Installed 5100s all around. front set to 2.5. aal in rear. front diff drop kit. spidertrax wheel spacers

 

Finished cleaning off the goo from debadging the truck yesterday.

 

Went from 285's to 265's for winter. And took her offroading on some class four roads and power lines. I really like how you can flex fully with the 265's and you don't have to worry about your tires rub against shit in your wheel well.

 

Finally did the bypass on my gps stereo. Changed windshield wipers. Removed passenger door panel. Removed the upholstery from the panel. I will be covering it in black leather tomorrow. I didn't realize I was almost out of black split grain leather.

 

Weekend list: Replaced clutch plate and cover, flyweel, pilot bearing, release bearing.

Changed transmission/transfer case fluids, oil, coolant.

Replaced OME front suspension with King Coilovers.

 

Add-a-circuit + 12v accessory socket + wire and terminal connectors = Hardwired Garmin GPS

 

Replaced my spark plugs for the first time at 70,782miles any they are in excellent shape could probably reuse them and also removed the secondary air filter. It was all black and nasty looking so it was time to remove it.

This weekends to do list
replace 4 tires P265/70R16 General Grabber AT2
Alignment with caster camber adjustments
Oil and Filter change
Rear differential service
remove and lube drive shaft
Throttle body service
check brakes

All of this I am able to do my self I am doing some major maintenance to my taco so far I have cleaned my K&N,spark plugs and replaced the cabin air filter big stuff this weekend.

 

I drove mine today....again

 

Now that's what I'm talking about... none of this pussy, "I went through a dusty road..." shit. This is real man stuff. Thank goodness for that. This site has, in my opinion, suffered from the same pussification that the rest of this country has suffered from long enough. Keep this kind of stuff going!!!

:end rant:



I'd even be happier if that lawnmower was on the living room floor! The same floor that you did burnouts in with your Harley. That's the stuff I'm talking about!!

Carry on...

 

thats a damn fine working area for rainy days, but what exactly is it that you are working on? I cant identify it.. bumper? receiver hitch? i just dont know.. haha

o wait.. bumper with spare tire holder? i cant wait to see it finished and installed. looks sick if thats what it is

 

I'm not a HD guy either but I was thinking of an email that I recieved where the guy said that his wife was pissed to taking a spin on the bike and then you see a picture of a bike in the living room with wood floors and donut marks! I'm sure you've seen it!

Congrats!!! And I hate you!!!




j/k but I would love to have a setup like that!

 

Whipped out the Fog lights on anytime mod before work! First actual mod i've done on my truck, didnt come with fog lights so i bought some on ebay (seller's website is www.racer-union.com) and luckily my truck was pre-wired for them. just had to pop the lights and switch in.
