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

F**KING cleannnnnnnnnnn

 

Congrats on the first grandchild bro!

 

Finished the vinyl

 

New Plugs today for the first time at 33k . they all look pretty good to me.

 

I’m needing a new MGM honeycomb grille for my truck at some point down the road.. mind sharing where you got that one and how much?

Right now I’m rocking a killer hook up From TW chrome one that I plasti dipped

 

With airplane engines we “pickle” the engine with a special oil to prevent corrosion. Might be overkill for our engines but I would at the very least put new oil in it and put the battery on a tender. You can also pull the plugs and spray some oil in there to help coat the cylinders, although it’ll all run down off the walls relatively fast.

There’s also an oil additive called cam guard you could add to your oil, it thickens it up a little and prevents it from running off metal parts so fast. Not sure if I would run it long term but at least with this oil change then change it back out when you back.

 

What part of CA?

 

Got it from a dealer in Ontario, Canada that had them on sale for $100 off. Came in around $250 CAD shipped to British Columbia (across the country). There’s a lot more choices when it comes to finding OEM parts in the US so check online for the best deal! 5310004450B1 is the part number.

 

Fun times cutting up a banjo housing to make the SST to do rear wheel bearings.

 

Los Angeles

 

Thankyou definitely changing the oil before and after

 

Aw damn if you were closer I’d go start her up and drive her every few weeks man just to help out.

 

Received and installed my SOS front recovery bracket. Came bare metal so did like 6 coats of paint both primer and black:

Compared to stock recovery bracket:



Bracket installed:



With D-ring attached. I won't keep the D-ring on, just put it on for photo purposes:



And finally some brand recognition:



Curious, is there a torque spec for the two bolts holding it on? I just used some major muscle to tighten them down but should probably spec them correctly if there is a spec.

 

where did you get the grille?

nvm saw the other post

Think I see a Sub2K in the lineup, fun-stick!

 

Replaced the factory engine splash guards with the RAD splash guards from Tacomabeast.

 

Yessir! Its my first rifle

 

Upgraded the OEM horn today on my 2013 DCSB. Replaced with the Wolo Bad Boy. Super easy, direct drop in replacement. I did have to swap the 10A fuse with a 15A fuse, but it works great. Highly recommended!
