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

Those are your SAI valves

 

Everything is bigger in Texas. Including filthy buzzards, unfortunately.

 

It's a lesser known Taco mod...for those with the most discerning taste.

 

I had a friend that removed a dead Buzzard from his grill on his Truck and spent 9 days in the Hospital

 

Say what? Did he get vulture cooties? They do carry some nasty stuff.

 

Not sure what he had but he got very sick very quick.

 

Hit 30k recently, did the rear diff fluid and breather mod today.

 

Replaced my 5 year old, 145k mile battery today. While I was at it, I upgraded the terminals. Toyota sure don't leave a lot of slack on that main positive wire do they? Damn. It will work for now, but I think I'll extend it soon...I'm not a huge fan of how tight it is.

Speaking of that, does anyone know offhand what gauge wire the main wire is? (I assume the biggest one is the "main" one...at any rate, it's the biggest one)



After I was done, I started it up and it immediately died, which I expected. Second start was fine.

About 2 hours and 3 starts later, I was going through a drivethru and couldn't turn down the radio...by steering wheel controls on onboard radio controls. Come to find out I couldn't control the radio at all...station change, volume, power...nothing. I shut the truck off, then restarted and everything was fine.

Hadn't heard of that problem before so just a heads up...I'm assuming it had something to do with changing the battery.

 

30k in 5 years that thing will be a gem in another 5-10! Bout to hit 60k on mine

 

No doubt about that. He'll find a buyer easy.

When I bought my 15....in Feb of 17, it had 11K on it. As of now, 11K is just a fond memory. In the last 3 years and 5 months, I've put another 134K on it lol.

 

Wow I need this

 

I got it from Artemis. They quoted $230 for everything including the walls then messaged me later charging an extra $100. Paid $330 in shipping, took 4 weeks, and still waiting on the LST walls.

 

Damn those look good! If only the made them for a 2013

 

Anyone know where to find a decent roof rack for a 2012 access cab? Cab find one for the access cabs :/

 

This should get you started.

Doesn't surprise me actually, they're garbage disposals so they probably have all sorts of crap in their digestive system.

 

If the nut ever loosens up and comes off, you're going to wish you had the bolt installed like it was from the factory.
