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

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.

 

Finally got these installed. The beauty of these is no drilling or other BS. Bed bolts fit, plug and play!

 

Is that the long or short nipple?

 

You should at least take me out to dinner before asking that.










Short.

 

Maybe ask our local tint shops, they may know of a place that installs them.

 

For sure thanks for the advice. I’m looking at getting a used 2000’s F-250 to take some strain off of the taco

 

Made some side mirror leds, broke the passenger in the process but have a replacement otw.



Replaced all pulleys, replaced ac compressor, new spark plugs, Finished up Marlin LCA gussets.





Serpentine looked sketch as I was replacing pulleys so I put it back to get to the auto parts store.. 5 miles later and tearing my truck apart at the gas station was fun. Water pump pulley and fan clutch ate up the belt like nothing. 30 mins and a new belt from a friend and I was on my merry way.. disregard all of the clay/mud

 

Swapped tires. Added on 265/70/17 A/Ts. Cooper Discoverer. I feel taller. And now I get some grip for those fishing holes.

 

Dobinsons snorkel and new headlights installed!

 

Just finished up the nice, simple Uni Filter mod for the secondary breather. The factory sponge filter looked really good, but now I don't have to worry about that thing breaking down in the future.

Later this week, I get to put my first holes in the truck for the Redline hood struts that arrived today.

 

Today was a fitment day for custom made rock sliders. Installation in a week after sandblasting and powdercoat.

 

Well the thing about that is... I have a brand new clutch just waiting to go in. So I figure now the time, doesn't matter if it gets burned up a bit Plus, it's a bit of a safety thing too. If I break my ankle while we're hiking, I'd like to avoid the 5k dollar ambulance ride and the tow truck.

 

Was about to ask if there would be a video for this soon, but figured it made more sense to check your channel first and, lo and behold, the video is already there.

 

Use blue tape to mask off the paint and run a bead of black RTV silicone to close up that body gap

 

You right, My bad!

 

I’m curious how the OVS awning will work out for you. 270* awning is going to be my next mod.

 

New tail lights came in today.

 

Hes got a great looking truck, I see it most times I go as well.
