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

Accidentally posted this in the 3rd gen thread first ha.

Finally got around to my rear diff breather today (finished right as the sun went down, actually!), and it was simple enough.

Going to have the rear diff flushed and all this week to make sure I didn't knock any nasty bits in it, but my question is do I have enough slack for travel? In the pic it's the line I have my hand on. I'm holding it up a little, it's not taut at all.

Also, didn't have enough hose to stub out behind my tail light like I wanted so I'm behind the fuel flap under my gas cap now!

Thanks!

 

I am and cap. Have loaded it many times and inpsect each time. Always scared though. Lol

 

@In4aride (WarFab) makes the bumper. Its pretty sweet and fits really well.

 

Wow those looks good. What front and bedside fenders are those?!?! Both trucks looks awesome

 

Completed oil change, tire rotation, clean air filter, and greased drive shaft. Reached 167K. Will need new tires by winter to deal with the snow.

 

The harbor freight compressor works ok.

the bad thing about Idaho is that 20 people will stop to help you while you’re re inflating your tires because you have your hood up.

 

Needed new tires, so I picked up'd some 2020 Trd wheels & tires take offs for $400 on offer up. Wired the 3rd brake light today too. How am I looking?

Edit: sold the old wheels & tires on offer up within 10min - $180

total cost = $220

 

Installed Elka 2.5 all around and Dobinson heavy leafs. Safari snorkel and a spit shine

 

Checking game cameras, topping off feeders, throwing out feeder blocks and prepping for bow season.

 

Cowl Induction Mod tonight. Curious to see how it changes the air intake temp. My radio hooks up to the OBDII and one of the gauges is air intake temp. Stock air intake runs about 3-10 degrees hotter than the ambient air temp on any given day so far up to 95 degrees outside.

 

The turn signals?
Yea I got one
For some reason it won’t let me post it

front is fiberwerx and bedsides are glassworks

 

incredible photo.

 

Finally... new cup holders

 

Installed my 23Zero 270° Awning and also added some plumbers tape to my Roadshower correcting the offset thread direction and leak.


What should have been an easy task installing my awning turned out not to be.

Brackets that came with the awning are too narrow for the Yakima OverhaulHD cross bars. Had to run to the hardware store and pick up some stainless steel carriage bolts to slide in to the T slot and mount them that way.

I think the Zero in 23Zero stand for Zero instructions. Not sure if I mounted the brackets right but it didn’t fall off at 80mph so I’d say it’s solid. We will see if it withstands this hurricane. That will be the true test lol

Just need to make a roadshower bracket for the awning bracket so I can slide my road shower over. Not a fan of the gap or current “stance”. The carriage bolts on top are preventing me from sliding the tank and rack over.

Also, raising the overhaul Hd rack requires loosening and tightening 24 bolts which is a pain.

Overall, I am happy with how it turned out though! Will be happier once I get rid of the gaps.

He needs a wash too, I know. He’ll get one after the storm.

 

What bumper is that?

 

Are these made for 2015 Tacoma's?

 

Install went pretty smooth, those long bolts going through the top of the control arms were a little annoying because they have to come out through the engine compartment but other than that it was pretty straight forward. I put the bolts back on so that the bolt would come out towards the body instead of towards the engine which seemed to make more sense, pro tip from @DannyBFresco.



Look real good once they're in there tho, so much more beef than the stock UCA's

 

CI mod looks clean, did you source your own parts or ?
What OBDII do you use?

 

Are you saying that you re-installed the long bolt from back pointing towards the front? Sort of angled up when its all said and done?
Your SPC UCAs look a lot different than mine....
