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

Put the short bed to work

 

I folded mine in half like a taco when I sound deadened the roof and it didn’t leave any creases or anything

 

Are you even allowed to "Truck" with these vehicles?

 

Got to test my BAMF hangers yesterday and loved how everything felt.

 

5...???? I wud be moving, finding new way to get where yer going or get a different truck...them odds suck but glad ur ok....always the only important thing..

 

Used it to pick up my new RTT.

 

I am when the wife says so

 

Finally replaced my 15 year old headlights!

Check out last week's photo (quoted above) vs. today's... and keep in mind that I had literally just polished and refinished my old headlamps before taking last week's photo. It was far worse before.



Side by side during the swap:



Can you spot the difference?

 

Highly underrated upgrade, looks good

 

from early model 2nd gen to late model 2nd gen

 

Almost. Yes his taco looks new again but Headlights are just newer & still Shiney. He didn't do a mate model 2nd gen (2.5 swap). This is a late model 2nd gen aka 2.5gen. Notice the headlight shape

 

that’s funny, I have an 06 and a 15 and never noticed there was a difference until you just pointed it out haha

 

2.5 is 12-15. Only thing really different is the front is the front clip.

 

Yesterday I “fabbed” a phone mount from1/8” aluminum flat bar and painted. Today it got mounted to the insert the front cup holders go in. Put a phone holder on it to hold the phone. Stable. We will see how it holds up mounted on plastic.

 

i always looked for the shark fin antenna as the decider between late/early.

 

Mine doesn't have one as its the base model. Lol

 

2013 shark fin deleted...

 

Replaced steering shaft, replaced LCA, new spark plugs, had fuel injectors cleaned, rotated tires, changed oil and replaced transmission oil.

Many mods on my 05 Tacoma TRD sport long bed. The list includes:

12 pack Deaver leaf springs
Bud built skid plates
Icon 2.5 w/ remote reservoirs front and rear.
Bassani SS exhaust
Dessini rock sliders
BFG MT3 tires
Total Chaos upper control arms
Snug Top Camper shell

 

Changed my spark plugs. I’d say they were definitely due. I got the truck mid April and I usually try to change plugs after buying a used vehicle so I know they are done.

 

like the tape idea....

big gaps....did it take a few cranks to start.....had that when plugs were due and they weren't close to those gaps.
