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

Sold them the day after I took them off, had about 5 people hit me up in less than a few hours

 

I use 5200 often and it's amazing stuff. I had to learn to be careful in applying it since it sticks like heck to everything and things can get out of hand fast. I seal spear gun parts with it and it keeps things air tight down past 100' in the water. For cleanup, alcohol, but I'm sure you know that already.

 

Built a bed platform, driving to Utah after work tonight with the girlfriend. Gonna go work remotely out there for a couple months at her family’s ski condo.

 

No matter how hard I try, I just do not like the 3rd gens. Yeah, I test drive a new one when they come out every year. But, it’s just not for me. I plan on keeping my 2015 for the rest of my life. I love the damn thing. And here’s what Scotty has to say....

question for the group, which OEM online Toyota dealer/retailer seems to have the best price/shipping/cust. service combo

 

Haha, I hear ya! The 2nd gen is so much peppier than the turd gen. There were and I think still too many issues with the 3rd gen. Gotta listen to Scotty!

 

Picked up this mid-rise camper shell today!
Very excited to get the lights powered and begin constructing my bed platform.

 

I like Toyota Parts Deal and Boch Toyota South, they seem to be pretty close on most items and I'll usually fill my cart at each and go with the cheaper one once shipping is calculated.

 

little bit on each thread and a small amount covering the hole before you put the bolt in.

 

Roger that!

 

I had a 17' too and now with a 14'. Drivetrain and software drove me nuts. I liked everything else about it.

 

Ive heard so many people talk about that issue. My 3rd gen was my first automatic I've ever bought so I guess I never knew how it is / was different or worse. Seems fine to me but that's just me.

 

Added a TRD aluminum cover for my Volant CAI, complements of Coupe.

Totally unnecessary expense, and now looking for a reason to drive around without a hood.

When I found out this existed, I knew I had to have it. Thanks Coupe.



This was an added benefit, comes with nice backing and seals:

 

GM diode mod to get the correct charging voltage for the Diehard AGM in my truck. Grand total of ~$12 off of Amazon.

 

picked up some new (to me) wheels off of Facebook market place for $400 (I already had the tires).

 

okay thanks, just checking.... and will hoping mine stay put.....

 

link? So I get the right one

 

Ya know, the dealer mechanic tells me you can’t grease anything, nothing, not even the drive shaft U joints. I haven’t looked under one, but, if accurate, that’s ridiculous.

 

You can and should.
You can also grease ball joints and tie rod ends to extend their life if they’re on their way out.

 

Bro, as in...

“there are no zerks on new 3rd gens”
