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

yup if you were turning any kind of way with it locked it will break pretty quick. I never lock the front unless im straight.

 

How does one get through that situation with a broken axle?

 

Its a second gen engine but I used gen 1 pistons and rods for strength and to keep it non-interference. So it's probably sitting around 255 hp 270 tq but I do have long tube headers which breath waaay better than the stock log headers. It's going to sit around where I wanted to be with my 4cyl turbo but without the hassle and if I even need more I can slap a m90 supercharger on it and run it stock with 5 psi of boost.

 

RCVs in the plans?

 

Then his diff will just break. Even more expensive

 

Got a chance to drive on the freeway with the new weatherstripping. FINALLY, no kazoo noise! They seem to work so that's great. Prior, I had stock weatherstripping on the drivers/passenger outer door with some drip line smushed into the top channels. It helped but the kazoo noise was still there. So far these new TSB weatherstripping pieces are working correctly.

 

This is quite possibly one of my favorite spots ever. I have been there twice, both times on vacation and never had my truck. Once skiing and once mtn biking.. Id kill to be able to take a trip there right now with the misses, little guy and my rig...

 

This happened today as I was parking...

 

I think you might owe somebody a "six".

 

US Offroad. I like it because I can get my hand in there and activate the wireless switch or manipulate the free spool lever. Its very well build. I may make some sort of shade or block off plate to keep UV rays off the winch rope. Thats the only downside when I compared it ot the C4 fab version I was going to get.

 

No mo chrome grill!

 

Drove it down the street to the school and voted.

 

Little under the ol' bonnet cleaning.

First time I found them for 2nd gens.
Good fit, easy install but pricey

 

This is cool. I've searched for 2nd gen as well......but damn they are proud of those!

 

Nice! What products did you use?

 

Was a productive weekend for my son and I. We finally got around to spicing up the exterior. He is learning to drive, in the Tacoma, so he was excited to help. Installed Nfab nerf bars, dipped the wheels and the chrome on the rear bumper, removed the chrome badges and replaced with black, and restored the black plastic exterior trim with Car Guys plastic polish (amazing stuff btw). The previous week I got tires. Tomorrow she goes in for the leaf spring recall. Yeah I know I procrastinate.
