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

I ordered the center console cover someone else linked here previously. When it got here it was not at all the right size, it was cut way too long, the sides were boxed out, it was not shaped for the latch, etc. So after some time with a very sharp knife, some 3M Super 77, and after removing the center console pad (for a tighter fit and just in case I wanted to go back to OEM), I have this critter. It's not the absolute best looking thing, it has two areas where I couldn't get it to stretch down, so it doesn't look OEM, but it's way better than when it arrived.

 

Greased that driveshaft again . Got that slip joint clunk probably grease it 3 times between oil changes . Also wire brushed some surface rust under the cab and hit it with rusty metal primer . Found the flapping noise I’ve been chasing ........... partial piece of heat shield just laying up on drivers side exhaust . Surprised it didn’t fall out it was just laying there .

 

Not a damn thing.
I'm afraid of messing something else up like yesterday.
I won't be doing anything until my T-harness shows up, probably Tuesday.

 

thanks dude!

 

Thanks man!

 

That looks great but I just like the look of the flares. Came up with a solution to have them more permanent that I’m working on now. Plus my cuts on the fenders aren’t exactly straight or do they look good.

 

I agree, flares look good on vehicles with any color other than black.

Much needed cleaning! That's exactly why we need to check/clean them routinely!

 

Yea it was filthy should have see the maf it was coated with dust

 

Joined the ARB club. Thanks to @EatSleepTacos for his expertise and @ImpulseDan for the cut bumper section swap.

 

I need to do that. Just bought the CRC stuff today.

 

Did not take long and seems I was way overdue. Definitely worth my time and minimal effort.
I even removed the 2nd air box and cleaned and vacuumed and blew out that dang charcoal 2nd filter

 

Installed a u-bolt flip with superbumps, added 1" in the back. Then did the rear differential breather relocate mod. Removed and cleaned PCV valve (i ordered a new one but it looks very different from what was in there. Plastic and different dimensions so why risk it?). Then rotated my wife's tires on her subaru before ordering myself a set of 5100's front and rear, and some new filters. I'm on vacation next week so gotta fill my time. Was supposed to be in the sierras but the fires had a different plan.

 

Cut the hook off my Smittybilt X20 and installed a Factor 55 Flatlink


Prepping to cut off hook. Gotta protect that synthetic line



Boom

 

Did the diy trans fluid flush, super easy!

 

I soooo need to do this but mechanically challenged
