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

rear diff breather

Replaced Cv seals
Ecgs bushing
All new control arms and bushings

 

I really don't feel like I lead foot it. Dont really go over 70 on freeway and not exactly ripping around town. I did an experiment where I drove really lax and made sure to not go over 2k rpm, only got 1 more mpg. I was driving so slow that even the girlfriend was complaining about my granny driving

 

It only appears that way because it’s larger than the stock ones. It compresses to the same height when bottoming out. It’s MUCH softer

 

Where did you source the foam?

 

Finally put my stickers on that I've had for at least a year

 

Washed all the salt off.

 

How long did it take to get it?

 

Good thing I ordered new seat covers .

 

I need to get one. Every time I leave my complex, making a left turn, I never see the person waiting to turn into my complex. Damn mirror blocks their car perfectly.

 

Checked my transmission fluid today. Just opened the check plug and almost a quart came out before I could close it up. Truck had been off for maybe 15 minutes and the fluid was just warm, not hot. I think it was overfilled as well as terrible. Going to do a full flush in the next couple weeks.

 

Gave Rosie a well deserved bath.

 

Rocking the Carolina squat after installing 5100s and 885 coils yesterday and today. 5100s and AAL going on next week

 

Did the serpentine belt, idlers and tensioner today at 138K miles. Here's the old belt.

Trick is to do everything from the bottom after you remove the skid plate.



This video was a great help to visualize what to do...

Holy crap, were you over due. Stuff won't even pour out of the cup!!

 

Got my hands on a 2012 scooped hood and did the switch. Love the look!! Anyone looking for a 13 excellent condition non-scooped hood let me know!!

 

PART 2...

She passed her inspection so today I put her 'Comphy Shoes' back on and re-tinted the windows.

Side note... I already know what I'm doing next Saturday, LOL! I pulled off the 5% tint and used 2% film this time. I NEVER thought I would say this, but 2% is entirely too much, you can't hardly see anything. So, next Saturday s project is back to 5%, LOL!

 

Finished doing the power steering fluid swap. I removed the fluid and refilled it four times over an eight day period. Looks much better now.

 

I would guess the anti drain back valve (little rubber flapper) in the filter was not working properly. What filter do you use? I use Fram Extra Guards. I know, Fram is crap. Blah, blah, blah.
I won't use the cheap ones, just the XG series. Mine always have oil in them when I change it, and I usually do it first thing when the day comes.

 

My friend is doing the firewall tub.

 

Truck was running when you checked it correct ?
