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

Borrowed a buddy’s pressure bleeder. Worked out great! Flushed the whole system.

 

I love my Motive system too!

 

Oh yeah. Definitely want to make sure you have the motor and clutch clocked in the right position before you put it in. I though I had them clocked the best and I ended up having to clock the motor while it was installed, that was quite a pain. Removing the grille on my 06 was really helpful also, gave a bunch more room. Overall its a doable operation with 2 people. One of the toughest parts was getting it into the place it was going to be bolted and line it up perfectly, probably could have used something to hold it in place, I just used my friend to hold it up.
Good Luck!

 

These bolts on the tailgate were rusting under the head. Took them off, cleaned them up with a wire wheel, painted, and applied Fluid Film to underside of head.

 

Here is the original...

 

yup had the same problem..cleaned em up, and added a plate for xtra strength and a work space...

 

Did my first Plasti dip job today.. the job itself came out good I feel

The new look is growing on me.. versus chrome.

 

Good job! Don't forget the glossifier!

 

I picked up a can, I feel like if I add it it’ll sorta look like I tried to paint match.. and it’d only look slightly off.

I’d rather it look clear that I plasti dipped it and leave it where it’s at.

Thoughts?

 

I get that! But try it either way. You can always peel it off and repaint. I end up redoing my grille surround every 6 months or so (because of my OCD). The glossifier adds a bit more of stability IMO. @Spizike231

 

I've had mine for almost 10 years now and wouldn't bleed them any other way.

 

Baked my headlights today. My gf thinks I’m crazy

 

Anybody have experience with how long it takes for the TW stickers to come? It's been about two weeks already and still no sign of it..

 

Black plastic seat trim panels/knob/levers.

Never liked how the grey plastics looked with the seatcovers.

 

Did this today. Not the most professional job but got her done. All 4 doors and soon the ceiling and maybe the floor.

 

Gave her the old mid-winter dusting and vacuuming razzle-dazzle. Shes stored during the winter..

 

Trdness

 

Finally gave her bath.

 

Looks great! Those wheels look great on 2nd gens.
