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

Which 303 product do you use underneath the truck. Looks great, by the way.

 

Those prices seem ridiculous...IMHO, but then again I do all the preventative maintenance myself, for almost 3 decades, so my frame of reference for pricing is a bit dated. I only go to the dealership for recalls and parts, which I order online and pick up at the dealership. Dealership usually offer way better pricing through their online storefront.

If you don’t want to do the work yourself do your research and find a good local mechanic and get prices. If you go the “do it yourself” route this forum is a tremendous resource, as well as other places such a s decent YouTube videos.

 

Tires look good, flat not so much!

 

Parts, tools and accessories arrived today.
I'm going to install the lock cylinders first and then install my tail gate lock and code it to the new key.
The pouch is so I can put my wheel lock (aftermarket wheels) in the truck and not have it loose.

I ordered the pouch on Amazon, tried to order it from the dealer and they said they have to order 30 of them at a time.

With the new crimper I can finally start on my fuse/relay boxes. Hopefully it works well and I get a good crimp.

 

Till today I have done nothing. But garage kept it and covered for 6 years. Just last year added a few things. Only 762 original miles.

 

I am going to do it! So the trans drain fill that you are going to do - will you replace the gasket?

 

4 more pages to reach 10,000. Holy shit

 

One tip I can give you is to make sure you can get the fill plug out first. I've seen a couple times where someone has drained a diff and can't get the fill plug out to refill it.

 

I would like to get in the practice of DIY - just want to make sure I am doing it right!

I've done alot of the work on my BMW F800GS (brakes, oil, adding electrical components, armor installation), so I hope to build up to that on my Taco. Did the spark plugs recently, and am gonna just go slow.

Thanks for the support!

 

What USB port is that?

 

Got off work and started hanging out with her. She’s my speaker

 

I think after seeing those wheels on my truck twin, I may be over the F5s I always wanted.

Try getting under the truck and jiggle all the drive shaft sections front and back if anything moves its most likely a bad u-joint and its bad to the point of replacing. got any video of the rattling? is it like a faint rattle or is it very noticeable?

 

I have been getting water condensation in my passenger headlight all winter. Since i had to pop off the headlight to I figured i may as well retrofit them to projectors before resealing them.




Also, I'm having trouble getting the high beams to work. When i was testing them out on a spare car battery i had they worked fine, but when i plug them into the harness in the truck nothing. Any pointers will be appreciated

 

Clicked my 5100s to .85 with 885s to get an inch of front lift back after front bumper and 4x4 conversion. Rides fine, is definitely a full 3 inch lift now, especially with the dakars on rear

 

Washed, polished, and waxed today

 

I have the Eibach 2.5" lift coils but my lift in the front is down to about 1.5" now with all the extra weight and I have been considering doing the same thing. Honestly, it would only be for looks as everything works really well the way it is. The 4" of lift in the rear gives it quite a bit of rake though
