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

I changed mine at 140,000 miles. I do try to change my oil around the 7000 mile mark.

 

Gotta love this.. Dust shields arrived today, no plastic bags, not even a sheet of tissue paper between the two pieces of metal. Coating scratched up in a bunch of places(which I can paint, no biggie), one was bent, but the kicker is all the damn paper stickers that just shred when you try to remove them..

 

Yeah I was wondering if it will do that too. Time will tell I guess.
Thanks for the heads up

 

Hahahaha. I work in a bodyshop and that aggravates the heck out of us. Every single part has those dang stickers all over them. We just spray 3m adhesive remover on them and let it sit for a minute. Then they come right off cleanly...but still aggravating

 

Garden is looking amazing!

All that stuff on your dash is blocking your view! Im sure that camera will help a lot! lol

 

I left the stickers on mine hoping Mother Nature removes them.

 

Hey @Rick_Taco, I have reached the limit that I was looking for. I will never go more than 327mi on one full tank of gas. Now I know exactly where my limit is.

That is the number I feel comfortable with...







Cheers.

Rick

Got a little photo shoot for the website this weekend

 

Ah gettin Betty all spiffied up and photogenic

 

Made a bracket for my prinsu rack to attached my 2m antenna to.

 

Good wash before some rain

 

Added some ICON LCA skids today

 

Looks good! What kind of brackets did you use to mount your BD lights in the stock bumper?

 

Changed my oil tonight and rolled past 265k

 

The BD fogs came with the hardware to pop right into the stock spot

 

So the front end clunk I thought I had fixed, wasn't..

It wasn't the sway bar bushings and it wasn't a bearing either. It turns out it was the intermediate steering shaft where I found it to have some play and consequently a thud whenever I made a turn over a bump.

I was quoted by my local mechanic around $1000.00 to replace the steering rack. It took him a few days to figure out where the thud came from. However, he did not advise it as he thought the front end was solid. I agreed.

Here's come the fix. Temporary or not. Grab yourself a medium size zip tie and that's it. I've taking the truck for a spin and I can say the thud is gone. I'm amazed. Thank you interwebs!

 

got the same reverse lights, best $20 I spent after I tinted my windows 5%
