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

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

 

That's why I'm waiting for his response to further my hatred for led bulbs in stock housings

 

Up against a garage would be superb.

 

it is. temporary solution. recommendations?

 

I would swap out for a carriage bolt on the outside with nut on the inside. The biggest thing is finding one that will inside the t track.

 

So a week ago I did some trail riding and got Thee Ole Taco muddy. So this Sunday I pressure washed everything and then set my $5 WallyMart sprinkler underneath to get off what ever was left under there.(aka: Redneck Undercarriage Cleaning)



Then yesterday, I decided I'll pop off the brake drums and clean in there good, since she was in a good amount of mud for a bit. I'll let the pics tell the story......(yes, I chocked the front tires)

 

I’ve got a carport

 

stupid question. the nut would be in the T track and i couldn't tighten the carriage bolt down to it

 

I see f*cks were given. Excellent!!

 

Yeah scratch that. I was looking at the wrong part of the pic. If you can find the t slots that fit that track get some of those. Then grab some security torx bits and go that route. Fastenal would have everything you need. I got my bolts for my prinsu there and used security t30 on it. The bolts were about .29 a piece.

found these real quick at Home Depot. Pack of 5 just get the right size for your application.

How hard is it to pop those drum brake covers off?

 

Side of the house

 

Dometic fridge just came in

 

87 all day every day. My truck will never get anything more

 

That's why I was flipping them off they were a BITCH w/ the mud that was in there.

 

I think the only reason to put higher octane in would be in the higher mileage timeframes. They say that added stuff in there helps clean the valves and stuff. No idea if it actually works, but meh. I still use 87 currently at 146k

 

The knock threshold is increased so timing can be advanced when you run high-octane fuel. Ton of info here on TW from dudes way smarter than me, but it does make a difference, both in power and fuel economy, in the 1GR-FE.

 

Smog every other year with a visual inspection for emissions related stuff. Just no full vehicle inspections like some states. We'll see how i do when I'm up for smog later this year, but i don't see it being an issue unless i get some picky smog tech.

 

I've done many many engine rebuilds in tech school, in the military on boats and ships, and personally on vehicles. Nothing ever gets premium fuel just the cheapest stuff and they are all clean and never have fuel problems related to the fuel itself. Only thing I've ever put high tier fuel in was helicopters taking on JP5.
