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

I rebuilt some coilovers today
Before

After

 

Welded up a cross tube for the Archive hammer hangers, Lots better on turns now.

 

Just finished adding Noico sound deadening to the door panels and panel behind the rear seats. Also installed new pioneer speakers in all doors. Thanks to TacomaHolic for the ideas!

 

Greased up PART of the drive shaft. I couldn't get to the zerks on the front (couldn't even FIND one of them) - even with my mini grease gun the zerk fitting on it was just too wide to slip between the joint. I'm stumped.

 

Sweet! I'm actually just added the Noico closed cell foam on top of the sound-deadening material on my back wall and will be doing the doors soon too.

 

I had to slightly twist my front zerk (10mm ratchet if I remember correctly) to get the grease gun to attach to mine. The angle of the zerk was just lined up in the worst position from the factory. Even then it was still a pain so I swapped the zerk for a straight one and used the 90 degree fitting (after shaving it a hair) and worked like a charm.

 

The one at the front diff is the one I couldn't get to, the one at the transfer case I couldn't even find (I'll have to pull off the heat shields and try again later). I 100% won't be able to get my quick disconnect style (lock and lube) zerk fitting on it - and the mini gun is only filled with moly graphite grease, not red and tacky like the full sized gun. Which 90 degree coupler did you use?

 

Some numbers!

 

Lock N Lubes Push-on Slotted Right Angle 90 Degree Grease Coupler ... and I shaved the rounded part about halfway down to get it to fit.

 

Got them off Tacomabeast.com

 

Little cleanup maintenance keepin white white

 

Got a bit happy with the white plastidip on my gray grill; mainly wanted to see what the white would look like without dumping $250 on a new grill or doing anything permanent to my gray grill. I love the look! Anyone have any experience with how long plastidip (five coats) might last on the front of a vehicle?

 

Anyone else have some ideas? Sorry to quote my own post.

 

I feel like this is the first time ive seen your truck

 

I called the number, not in service. Considering changing my cell number to it lol

 

Take the heat shield off, you’ll see it after that. As far as the one closer to front diff, yeah ya have to take the lock and lube fitting off and use a regular fitting because it’s smaller and has more clearance to reach the zerk.

 

Added my Martin rack and caliraised light bar

 

My tranny filter screen and pan gasket arrived today. Now to get some WS fluid and change that trans fluid.

 

My grill is plasti dipped and its lasted pretty well for about a year or so
