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

Nice, which one?

 

A blue

2007 access cab v6 manual transmission. I think it’s good find 80k miles for 9k.

 

That's a great find, assuming everything is in good shape. At 80k miles it should be. I'm partial to an access cab, the V6 is a genuinely good engine that is damn near bulletproof, and a manual is just a choice for the extra grunt. Good for you. I hope it's in great shape and you get it.

 

Greased the 5 points on the Taco with my new Lube Shuttle. If you’re in the market, I highly recommend one. It’s so clean I hung it on my OmniWall.

Pro Tip: once the truck is in the air, put it in neutral so you can spin the drive shaft by hand. Just DO NOT forget to put it back into park.

Then I flushed the PS, using this method.

We’re almost there!

 

Yeah will be going to check it out today take it for a drive. Hopefully everything goes through well with the 1st gen I have to upgrade to the 2nd gen

 

Well for me I popped the headlights in the oven for like 5 minutes and took off the lenses from housing and dried it all up. And resealed them with new butyl gum sealer and after I went over the seal with some silicone waterproof sealer.

As for the tow set up it's from Bullet Proof Fabrication.

 

- Changed the oil.
- Threw on some Yakima pads on my crossbars for kayak/surf board/etc.
- New yakima bar ends which are a very minor mod that turned into a half hour ordeal because the bar ends had rusted and trapped the old end caps inside the tube.
- Installed a new to me OR front tow hook.

To do:
- Plasti dip the rear bumper soon which will be the last bit of chrome on the truck.
- Install new sway bar end links.
- Corona and chill

 

Inspected the recall leafs on the truck, getting ready to finally install the General Springs HD set I picked up from a TW member awhile back. My front and rear 5100s, and 885s, are still at a friend's house, her husband picked them up for me just before quarantine dropped on us, so they're an hour away. One piece at a time, I guess.

Also ordered the stuff to do the hood snorkel modification. Time to route the intake up to the shroud on the hood vs the fender.

 

I wax the hood interior and everything that it’s painted inside the engine bay.

Like in everything prevention it’s everything. If you start doing all this when the truck it’s new and be consistent it’s easy. Also for me it always been a hobby to have my cars detailed. And my truck it’s a mall crawler.

 

Thank you for the links. I’m ordering a weekend warrior tool kit. Also the grease gun. Mine made a mess last summer, because of the heat the grease melted and leaked everywhere.

 

Glad I wasnt the only one thinking it

Only question now is who will it be and what will it be about?!?!?!?

 

Unloaded the tube sand I keep in the bed (and the frame brace I made to keep it over the rear axle) since we're now firmly into spring. Also used it this morning to haul 880lbs of soil home for the raised bed (I might need another 280lbs to top it off) from home depot. Sadly I didn't get it yesterday because there was a line out the door. Apparently everyone is there right now for projects.

 

How many more posts?

 

One more??

 

Ahh ok, I’ll have to try something else, To get the water out Of mine and hit it with some silicone.

 

Kind of sounds like loose heat shield or exhaust hanger or something. but again cant hear too well.

 

Man I need to do some mods. Nothing really planned but I love looking at all the nice ones in here. Cheers to another 10k pages of glory
