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

Put red backing behind the logo cutouts in my bumpers.

 

A wise auto tech once told me that if you were ever interested in buying X brand vehicle, drive around back to the staff lot and see what they are driving. I have yet for that advice to not pay off.

 

Y'all don't have any emissions inspections or anything in CA that's the first I've heard that!!!

 

What grade of gasoline do you guys put in your trucks? I've always been one of the overachiever 'premium always' guys but man is it breaking the bank lol.

 

Regular and once every couple of weeks non ethenol and once a month premium

 

I ran 91 for a while, didn't do anything for me but paying 1.40 a liter was fun for a bit.

 

ordered ECGS bushing and tool.

 

Wheels and tires. Next is CMC!

 

So what, 85?

 

87 is reg for us. pump gas goes 87,89,91,94

so 87.

im sure 85 would be fine?

 

Oil and filter changed over the weekend using shell rotella gas truck; put in a fumoto valve, too. Bando serpentine belt today and rolled over 100k.

 

so def have not been updating progress, but.......
i got new UCA, 33" skinnys on as well as baja design amber fogs in the pelfreybilt front bumper. mounted some T track on the cap and fabbed up mount for the traction boards. threaded rods will be trimmed and the knobs i have actually will have a set screw so there are no visible locks unless you look for them, can't just be taken off.

last pics are of a 4x6 enclosed i picked up for cheap im converting into camper, slide out kitchen, roof rack with solar etc. started by repainting frame and suspension, flipped to spring over for more height and redo the shotty stock electrical


(yes my sliders are getting blasted and line-x here soon)

 

OKAY - I know you're all sick of seeing it, but this is the final config in the truck. Now the fire extinguisher isn't a missile in the event of a collision and both it and the med pack can be reached from either passenger or driver seat, if you can't get the suicide doors opened for whatever reason. I need to get that birch deck built for the back.




Also finally got my Yakima Q towers attached.



Now working on where to mount the CB's firestik.

 

No the SX isn't compatible with Apple but the OBDLink MX+ is.

 

Testing the new-to-me Deaver J66.

 

Installed new SPC light racing upper control arms! Ohhhhh they are nice. Marie at @HeadStrong Off-Road hooked it up and now I’m riding super smooth! It took just over 1.5 hours.

 

Installed and hardwired a new dash cam. So much smaller and so many more features than my old Chinese one.

 

What bolts did you use to attach the cross bars to the t slot? Reason I’m asking is in your pics it looks like Nylock . I’m sure it’s not or at least hope it’s not because what will stop someone from unbolting that and just taking the whole thing with them.

 

Driver’s seat belt was missing the button stop. I got some on Amazon and clipped one on.

 

I have the same ones, here’s a pic I took in 2016 when I installed them
