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

You take the road trips others dream of!

 

I know what you mean I used to use a hair dryer back in the day for as much as i could use it for. Usually decals or overlays but it could melt shrink sleeves. But yes the heat gun I have now is very useful!

 

Or just use a lighter

 

Spotted your truck in front of the shop when I went to Costco a few weeks back.

 

Good Luck on the Business!

Make sure you keep up on your transmission full system flushes. Screwing your transmission up sucks, trust me I know. You can fit a lot of weight in one of those trailers. More than you might think.

 

My to do list on this truck is getting ridiculous...

the fed ex guy showed up


and so did the UPS guy


Meanwhile my rear HC bumper needs to be stripped and repainted



And the rear brakes and all the Ujoints need redone.


and the uniballs on the TC UCAs need replaced. As do the spherical bearings on my coilovers and shocks. Fuck Wisconsin And it’s endless salt spreading.

Great so far. Solid construction and bright as hell.

 

Go ahead and hit the MAF and throttle body while your at it. Super easy!

 

The Taco is a 4 out of 10 on the PITA chart when it comes to plugs. I had to pull the manifold off a Monte Carlo once. That sucked!! Lots of extensions helps on the Taco as well.

 

That is a spark plug socket. All the extensions are so you can spin the ratchet 360 degrees rather than making 900 1/4 degree turns. The tape is so whey you bump it on the way out, you don't loose an extension down the engine bay.

 

Oil change and installed Fumoto's new F133 drain valve which is so much faster at draining the oil compared to their older F103 that I was running before.

 

i wondered about putting a cap on the end of the fumoto valve but i figured anything will get flushed out as soon as you open it.

 

Wheel and Tire set up looks killer!! I really like it!

 

Yeah probably not really needed but I found a cheap one that fits at Home Depot.

 

got a pic of what it looks like from the front head on?

 

Hello all - I am fairly new to the site... and maybe I am doing this wrong, but I am looking for any shops that could install a sunroof in my 2015 Tacoma... and before I get bashed - please refrain. I understand a lot of them leak and also why don't you just go get a 3rd gen.... I get all that - but I would at least like to explore the idea and get some pricing. I am used to my truck and finally don't have payments and would like to enjoy this one a little longer and it's something I would like to add... any suggestions on places that it's all they do? Or any experience of styles or somebody that has already done so? I searched in the search box to look for a thread, but had no luck. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

 

Where are you located?

 

Bristol, TN... I have seen a couple places around Nashville that seem to do "aftermarket" sunroofs...

 

Rotated the Nitto Ridge Grapplers for the 3rd time at 15k miles on them. Still supper happy. Great Tire!

Greased the drive shaft at the 5k interval.

Fixed my AC as well. Betty blows at all 4 speeds now. Seems colder too, but that's probably in my head.

 

I might have to pick one up. I didn't even think of that when I was there, lol.
