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

Gave her a good wash since I first purchased. She cleans up nicely for being 10 years old.

noticed a lot of paint peeling though. Fearing a paint job may be in my future.

 

Im going to be replacing my lower ball joints soon. Was thinking Moog because they are grease-able, Anyone have any input on those or other ones I should get? OEM non zerk?

 

Seems to be a great combo! 5th gear works great on hwy still

 

Just did! Forgot about the forum haha

 

Thank you!

 

Not at all! Only at stuff, but once the upper inner is tubbed it will be smooth sailin

 

Probably got 125k out of mine and still probably had 1/3 the life left. But stick shift helps with brake life and mostly highway, lol. I just did it, cause i couldnt believe they were still going.

 

i learned how to reset my Maint ReQd light (and did).

 

Installed some rock lights

 

Why the hell would you wanna climb a rock?! Its from the movie 'the goods'. YouTube that part its hilarious

 

Tinted the windows and put in fog lights

 

haha yup never seen that movie before, but I'll certainly watch it now lol

 

Sound deadened the suicide doors today. Butyl rubber outer door skin and over the holes on the inside skin. Then mass loaded vinyl, then closed cell foam (not pictured)

 

While you have everything opened up, you should run speaker wire and add speakers.

 

I didn’t want rear speakers. I’ve got good front speakers in mind. But may hold off on those too to do suspension upgrades.

I’m sound proofing cause this truck is so damn loud. Tomorrow is the floor and back wall

 

I noticed my truck was running a little off so I decided to do some quick cleaning of my Mass Airflow Sensor and the throttle body. Just took it for a drive and it seems to be running top-notch again, bought the truck over a year ago and never cleaned it to begin with... I wonder how long it has been.

 

Tore apart my OME HD Dakars leaf packs and wire brushed them, installed leaf isolators, new spacer discs, and installed dobinsons greasable shackle bolts in the rear. What a pain in the A$$. But the squeak is GONE. For now...

 

I burned out my aeromotive 340 stealth fuel pump thats only got like 2k miles on it.... and on taco tuesday no less....

 

Haven't even installed my HD Dakar pack yet and already thinking about the leaf "isolators" - but did you need a longer center bolt to make it all work?

 

Probably going to do this when I add the HD leaf soon.

Also skipped a couple gears on my steering rack when I was in Wyoming last week now my steering wheel off like 15 deg Brought it into the shop for an alignment and the smash nuts are seized on. Ordered a new rack because current one has leaking seals already, and outer tie rods and lower ball joints from Moog. Hopefully my front end will be Perfect after that.
