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

Got some groceries, the taco lien was really noticeable in real life, but less noticeable in this picture

 

Shaft looks bent .Try running straight edge down the middle

 

I verified the new front bed supports are compatible with my camper shell.

Good news: They are!

 

How are you liking those tires?

 

Absolutely nothing to dislike about these tires. They are very affordable, durable, smooth and quiet MT’s.

 

Good to hear! How many miles do you have on them so far?

 

5k

 

Detailed the inside this weekend. My youngest son vacuumed everything out while wearing his Monster Jam headphones and then I went over everything with 303. Then I read all 286 messages that I hadn't read since last Wednesday. I have read every message in this thread since I joined TW.

 

Thought everyone could use a little laugh during this time.

 

Save you money right now, at least until all this crap blows over. And then keep your 2nd gen.

$1.49 at Costco in INDY. It will drop below $1.00 between the Oil war and the Lockdowns/less demand.

Is there a write up anywhere on adjusting them. I haven't messed with drums in years. I plan to change out my factory fronts soon and would like to adjust the rears when I do so.

I wish I was surprised. Pisses me off and its not even my truck.

Trucks looking good! I washed the Taco too, then took the mower apart and greased all the gears/wheels, sharpened the blade and re-gaped the plug. Did the same with the weed eater. Gotta keep moving forward.

I like those! I do not recall seeing them before now. Super clean build BTW!!

I like to use feeler gauges.

So clean!! So clean!!

Tire plugs for the win I've had a plug kit in every vehicle I have ever owned. And I am talking 10 year old kid plugging a tire on a Warrior 350 out in the woods with a mini basketball pump under the seat.

Id plug it.

My theory is both suppliers came in at the same cost. So Toyota used both of them knowing that if one supplier couldn't keep up, the other one was already in production. They would't have been able to react as fast if both suppliers were not already in production.

 

well, they are supposed to be longer to accommodate increased lift, and travel of lifted vehicles. These are the ones I have. Better to have too much than not enough?

 

got my frame recall notice in the mail over the weekend. makes me feel a little better.

 

I’ve been running extended lines on mine for over 3 years and no issues with the front. Actually those same ones I think. Except my black sections are a little longer.

 

Swapped in a new steering wheel.

 

Looks nice man, are those factory leather seats?

 

So I did this during the Apocalypse. Trying to add all the stuff that Toyota forgot when it designed my 2006 Taco.

It’s not a badass BUILD like so many here, I have just done about every interior and electrical mod possible and is your typical lifted Taco with black rims and 33s but I like it.

THANKS TO @MESO AND @caribe makaira FOR THEIR HELP! Check it out:

Yeah, that's pretty noticeable. It's probably that shackle, you need to move it to the driver's side.

 

Wait....did you install a power rear window on your 2nd gen, then used a 3rd gen power window button to open/close?? If so; this is exactly what I want to do. Does the button fit in your lower dash without modifying?

 

Good call, or maybe replace it with a $250 forged overland Lightweight shackle So it doesn’t affect the lean.
