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

-2hp.

 

Changed the rear differential fluid. Also found that one of the rear Billies sprung a leak. It pissed fluid out while I was under there. Looks like I'll be replacing the rear shocks after I can put some cash aside.

 

Pulled out the bed bolts and slathered them in antisieze. Luckily they were all still in rather good shape. Installed Relentless Fab quickfist and hilift mounts. Was going to make them myself, but for $100 I couldn't turn them down. Also got my Tepui rtt "assembled" so I can get it installed tomorrow.

 

Good enough, I’ll take it!

 

Dropped it off at the dealer for the frame swap. They said see you in a week, here's a Camry....

 

Installed @CaliRaisedLed bed stiffeners

 

How much room do you have under that hi lift jack? Do the mounts rest on the little lip above the wheel cover? If any of that makes sense

 

Swapped antennas from the OEM whip to a modified CB antenna I got from a member here. First thing I did was take the tip off the firestik and extend it to the fullest possible length. It's just about the exact length it needs to be to be 1/4 wavelength for the middle of the FM band.

Just teased her a bit today. Showed her the five SCS F5s (17s to fit a brake upgrade in future) I got for her. Then told her I just ordered five 315 Cooper St. Maxx for her too. She is so excited and anxious.

 

Hardwired my radar detector and mounted it with a BlendMount.


Also covered the cable for the radar detector and my dash cam cables in some braided split loom for a cleaner install look.

 

This past Thursday I had my 6 month oil change done and had the mandatory annual NC State inspection done, then Friday I paid my annual registration renewal (license plate) and property taxes.

 

installed witch mount from @usoffroad with smittybilt x20 winch

 

WoW, talk about getting lucky, an "09" the most desirable year, the fastest color, and if that weren't enough, its an Access Cab, almost like winning the lottery. Congrats.

 

Fastest color until a pyrite mica shows up

 

Truth

 

With blinkers?

 

I finished a four month long project.

 

Thanks @HAVOC

Great info. I think I'm going to get this done.

 

Did you attach the spindles yourself via drilling or did your bumper come pre built for a swing out ?
