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

Took the Tacoma up north for camping. New plugs have her running smooth, and she took the 3 hour drive like nothing.

 

New fog lights

 

It comes backed with 3M adhesive, I just used that. I'll come up with something else once it falls off. @EatSleepTacos said his was on his old softopper for more than a year and was still on it when he god rid of it.

 

Ohhhh boy

 

Good choice! The ss3s are awesome

 

Just removed the grille surround. Got a Pro grille (minus the surround) on the way and wanted to strip the plastidip off the surround and paint with real paint. Plan got a bit derailed as I discovered a few clips are broken off the back of the surround. I put some two part epoxy on them, but what do you guys think. Worth it to fix or should I just get a new grille surround? McGeorge Toyota online has the grey painted one listed for $170, so now I'm debating if I should just replace the damn thing and be done with it.

 

Dropped it at the dealership to perform the recall to spray the inside of the frame. My frame is still under warranty until 2025. I'll be looking to get some fluid film applied soon. Fortunately the PO kept the miles low and kept it clean. The worst rust it has is the tow hitch and bracket.

 

Photoshoot from the other day

 

What type of front light set up you got going on there?

 

Headlights are Spec D and the pods are Pro Comp

 

Added a small hoop today. I wasn’t planning on it, but with the lights being the furthest thing forward I felt it was necessary to protect them.

 

I like it. I’ve always been a fan of the low rise center hoops

 

How are the pro comps mounted?

 

I just got mine in today!! Same setup but with general leaf's in the rear. Have you gotten an alignment yet? With this setup I have positive camber wear on my tires so I got these to hopefully resolve that, I would have a lot more life in my tires if I had done this to begin with, I didn't think it would lift it high enough to cause an issue

 

Threw on some metal center cap decals.


Installed Rago Fab’s fog light brackets with Rigid Radiance Pods.

 

Mounted to the bumper

 

The PROTECs are pretty legit though! Seem heavy duty and hopefully wouldn't dry rot or fall apart as quickly as the stock ones!!

Pretty simple day. Oil change, then my wife helped me change out the serpentine belt on my 2009 2.7l 2wd prerunner. I also drained and refilled the rear diff fluid. While I was down there I checked the U bolt torque and propellor shaft. I've never had to tighten any of these. Is that normal?

Getting ready for a long drive from Texas to Colorado soon and I wanted those things done. Glad to get them behind me.

 

With the 4.0 4wd Ive gone thru a couple of rearmost u-joints.
Other than that just routine maintenance changes on the rest.

"Vintage"
"In original package"
No longer.

Prepare for the thrashing or your life antlered jack!
We gonna have us some fun.....

 

Be cautious with your warrantee period with the "Spec D" lights.....
