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

That's not been my experience. But, I do also use 303 Protectant periodically during warmer months as well, so it's never really super faded. Before winter, I'll usually use the Mothers. I'll probably hit it one more time with the 303.

 

Gotcha, I must’ve just gotten a bad bottle of it. The 303 I’ve been enjoying lately, so really relying on that to protect my plastics from getting worse at least

 

What brand snorkel is that? Looks more slim than most

 

I've observed that on the faded plastic, the Mothers initially restores the black better than the 303. A couple treatments for really faded plastic works well. The 303 then works better to keep it looking better longer. 1....2 punch!

 

Its the common Hilux 167 snorkel off Amazon or ebay

 

Replaced rear axle seal and new shoes on the rear end, cleaned out the breather to since they like to get dirty just to be safe

 

I been thinking about this...

 

No complaints about them. Great road tires with a m/s + snowflake rating. I plan on upgrading to 33" tall skinny KO2's or coopers once I install my lift. Unless you use the truck exclusively for commuting i'd keep the BFG's.

 

That sounds like permission for you to get a new set for your ride.

 

Spent the day pulling the drive shaft in order to replace a leaking output seal, all of the u-joints, and the center bearing. I've been living with constant vibration so I knew the center bearing was toast. What I didn't know was that one of the u-joint caps was broken and another one completely devoid of any grease at all. Was glad to finally get all the parts and tools together to do the job. Took me about 6 hours or so.

My truck is a 2007 Prerunner DC with 171,797 miles on it.

 

yeah i got three different quotes with the same 450 - 500. Definitely wasn't expecting that.

 

Cool, I think I will pick up a new bottle of the Mother’s after all. Thanks man!

 

Easiest thing you will EVER do!

Just clean the emblem, peel the sticker guard thing off the back of the Meso emblem, and stick it on. BAM!

 

Cleaned out my garage and finally made a quick shelf for cleaning products.

 

What did you use to paint the gauge trim rings?

 

If that’s for both, it’s sounds about right.

 

This stuff.

 

I bought this:

$20 SEM Paints SEM15243 Satin Black Color Coat Aerosol 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FMS8N0E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Should be here tomorrow.

I want to paint the gauge trim rings, the chrome ring around the shifter and chrome piece under the shift knob.

 

Got tried of the velcro snorkel attachment and went ahead and rivitd it to the pillar.

Did not take that long should have done it this way the 1st time.

Sealed it up with some black rtv

 

except I have to take off the old one. Hahahah
