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

Cool project. I was watching your progression on the NOVA thread. Once you got past the removal of all the spring hangers it should have been fun

 

Removing all the mounts was the only bad part and took longer than everything else. It has been a lot of fun!

 

Just a car port

 

Oh yeah, that, and the Monster Taco!

 

Absolutely nothing

 

When we did the "63 swap" on Skips truck we removed the bed as you did boy did that make things easier. Even with it out of the way removing the spring mounts and shock mounts it was a lot of cutting and grinding. Thank the Lord for the plasma cutter. I should be getting my "Hammer Hangers" in a couple of weeks so will be removing the rear spring hangers but not removing the bed for that should be interesting.

 

y'all have no idea, NY winter conditions my man!

 

Just buy new ones. I gave up on getting them turned down, years ago. I will be buying new ones soon. Let TW know what you get and how you like them.

 

I really could have used a plasma. I butchered my spare carrier years ago installing a shackle flip. I think an air chisel would have made life easier. I’m always missing that one tool.

 

That’s how it always seems to be. A garage full of tools and always missing something

 

I do woodworking as one of my hobbies. The motto of woodworkers is “New project, New Tool”

 

I didn’t do anything, but the valet at the hotel I’m staying at decided to show off a couple tacos. Proud dad moment right there, the taco has made it to the big leagues lol

 

Cleaning the mud off

 

Cool pic

 

My brother sent me a screenshot of his 37 degree weather down in Florida. That's like summer in NYS.

 

Spark plugs, intake air filter, MAF & TB clean @ 96781mi. I think the original plugs were still in this mf; they were too tight, as well. I bought it at 75k miles...changed the whole sound of it running. Purrrrrfect!

 

Cleaned the throttle body, by the looks of the towel I don't think the previous owner did. The other side of the towel is just as bad

 

Finally got my 5 gal tank mounted on my rack. Getting ready for Big Bend.

 

The poor thing. I hope he survives.

 

picked it up this morning. couldnt be any happier how it looks. also the dealership i got it from gave it to me for 1000 instead and gave me a free bedrug that was in the other tacoma.
