What’s your quarantine project?

Bought me a 06 TRD Sport w/ 160k miles last weekend and hand my hands full with maintenance:

1. fluids: oil change, differential drain/fill, power steering flush
2. plugs
3. air and cabin filters
4. New sway bar bushings and sway links
5. wash, clay, wax

I tried to replace the PCV while doing the spark plugs yesterday, but I didn't realize I needed a deep socket 19mm to get that damn thing off. I'm too paranoid to go into a parts store to buy the tools, so i guess it will have to wait.

 

Various little upgrades and maintentence projects. Here's my list:

Diff Breather Mod
Fumoto Oil Change Valve install
Rear Bumper Chrome Delete until I can save up enough for the bumpers and skids i want
Front Lower bumper plastic refinish/bedliner, Really like those SSO hybrid steel bumpers with bull bar. This is until I can save the cash for it.
Debadge/Chrome delete emblems havent decided yet. I also got some TRD Off Road emblems similar to the TRD Pro Red and Black ones under the mirrors, I might consider slappin those bad boys on there instead of the normal taco ones.
Tow Lights plug relocate next to license plate in middle of bumper rather than hanging down begging to get bashed.
Wiring 2 pod lights behind grill (just because theyre sittin on a shelf rn and why not. just gotta come up with a custom mount so it sits properly.

I should do the sway bar delete too, or at least give it a shot, i do alot of highway driving too though, im thinking the 887's i got should be tough enough to keep me from rollin, not gonna be doing any kind of baja style turns anyways

 

Busy working.

Projects happen on days off.

 

Oh! And i got some new horns to replace these shitty stock ones, Amazon has deemed them non essential (fair enough) so they’re taking their time shipping it out, which I’m good with cause I’ve got plenty of other projs to do til it gets here

 

Oh that sucks... To bad you couldn't have removed the whole trap and pour it into a bowl.
But sadly, if the trap was clean and it is indeed a P trap vs a standard trap; it probably got pushed through.

 

Don't we all...
3 bays, tall ceiling for a lift, I beam for a hoist, air, welder, mill, lathe...














We now return to our regularly scheduled reality. Lol

 

finished off the shelving and workbench, now filling it up.

I have all of these projects and no time/space to do them... hella sucks.

 

Looks great, are you going for a specific species?

 

I am still working, apparently Security is considered "essential personnel" by FEMA. But I do wanna do some stuff like take it in for detailing when I get my Stimulus money. Anyone know how to clean the "sport fabric" in 2012 Tacomas? (feels like leather but I think it is Vinyl or something)

 

Thank you. We have several cardinals, blue jays and robins where we live. The hole itself is 2.25", so we're hopeful for anything really.

 

Be sure to take a discrete a picture of the nest and eggs sometime and post please. You can also use this website to find specific dimensions for certain species if youre trying to be particular:

Since Amazon began their non essential claim I gave ordered a tv, battery cables and heat shrink tubing, bicycle accessories etc. all have arrived in a few days. Hell the battery cables came overnight. It seems like amazon is either very liberal with their definition of essential or it’s just a feel good ad campaign they are not really following.

 

I think they just are saying - shit may be delayed, don't be mad at the free 2 day shipping. As Amazon and shipping companies have had a large amount of infected people, it throws off logistics, so if they tell you its gonna be late and it comes on time, you are happy.

 

most of the crap ive ordered from there has taken anywhere from 3-7 business days, where normally its 2, and very rarely 3 days. so i've definitely noticed

 

Built our garden bed today. 16’ x 4’ x 1’ out of untreated red cedar. 1/2 yard of compost, 1/2 yard top soil, 1/2 yard river rock (weed-proof tarp underneath). Very happy with it. Planting corn, peppers, tomatoes and rhubarb for sure.

 

Don't let CNN or MSNBC get hold of that picture, cause tomorrow they'll report that its a mass grave in New York.

 

First time ever wood working made a desperately needed work bench it’s really tall and fugly but sturdy.

 

If the weather will cooperate, the frame, drums/rear hubs and front dust caps will get some much needed attention...



Otherwise, I I’ve got a few things to keep myself busy. Lol.



There’s a 9” Android headunit and front camera in that box, Matt Gecko under hood and bed LEDs in the priority mail package, a new fuel door that needs paint (one of my hinges broke months ago) in the parts box, a Cali Raised stealth mount LED bumper bar in the long box and rear stainless brake lines with new hardware and hard lines I probably won’t ever install. I also just got my Energy Suspension steering rack bushings today, but I’d really have to motivate if I want to tackle that job...

 

Working still, but mostly at home. Tonight's project, wife and i ranking the best snack cakes in bracket form.
