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

Fuel pump while I await the Magnuson kit.

 

Use a compass and run it along the fender to ensure clean guide lines. Measure twice and cut once! its not so difficult as it is tedious.

 

Nice setup! Random question how do you like the coopers? Been considering switching to them

 

And that's why I moved to Victoria 40 years ago...ugh.

 

What are your 1st impressions? Been thinking of going this route.

 

Filled the gap between the hood and the new grille with this:

$19 ESI Ultimate Tailgate Seal with Taper Seal 6ft for Either The Sidewalls OR The Tailgate Bottom

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019QFCZ7A/ -- perfect size and perfect length.



Then swapped over my keyfob to the AJT keyfob. I have another in red coming to put on my spare fob.

 

Thanks, I will take your advise, I have received several ideas and will try them all, I will be busy for the next few days but will try them all, & report back as to what I find. Thanks again!!!

 

You should race @White lightning boosted when your done

 

I dig that!

 

Thanks. I like them but might go with at3 next time. They give excellent traction, ride really nice for a E rated tire, and are tough. But they are heavy and pull slightly on the highway due to tread pattern.

 

Strange, with mine, I was able to use 3 screws on each bracket without having to drill anything. I installed the plastic bracket on one side, then held the metal bracket up against the other so that it was lined up, and marked which holes on the head unit to use. Then I marked the corresponding holes on the other side, and crewed the metal brackets on easily.

 

I think i had to drill them to get the HU exactly where i wanted at the time...can't remember though, was a few years ago.

I also ordered it with there fancy low pro swiveling banjo fitting and their pcv valve

And just might have to after i get a tune...

 

My Haynes manual says every 90k for platinum or iridium. It's on the forums somewhere... I.. just... sort... of... lost... the... link.

 

Aren't we all!?

 

Looking into getting a cash 4Runner to build into a trail queen what are the thoughts on the v6 3rd gen?

 

You are correct about the 2nd gen plug interval. I've thought about installing iridium plugs, but find it reassuring to look at my plugs every 30K miles. I'll stick with conventional plugs for now...

 

Haha wow that’s pretty crazy. Prob perfect condition too

 

Hmm. I sold my OEM radio, so I didn't keep the brackets. I HATE the Metra kit that I have. It rattles like crazy. Wonder what else I could do to stiffen it up.

Do it!

 

I don't know why everyone hates the Metra brackets. As long as you reuse the clips for the face plate, the Metra brackets are only one piece of the retention puzzle. Personally, I've bounced my truck to hell and back, and it hasn't been an issue yet. Maybe over time it will develop a squeak or be rickety, who knows.

My experience hasn't been that, yet. But I also reused the clips for the face plate with the Toyota OEM ones and not the ones Metra sent.
