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

If you see any 2015s, 4x4, DCLB I'll take a look. Thanks

 

I just purchased an '07' Off Road two wheel drive with the Access cab (fits great into my shortened garage space!) and for the first time in thirty years stopped in at the local wrecking yard. Geez, they want an 'admission' price of $3.00 just to set foot onto the 'Pick-a-part'! Maybe I'll investigate some of the larger metropolitan yards for the bits and pieces I'm looking for. That's what I did today!

 

I know it's the wrong color but it's cheeper!

Yes, they’re giving me 16k. The truck is an 08 with 350k miles... I’m not complaining‼️

 

Just finished my interior blackout

 

Installed the Cali Raised 32" behind the bumper duel row light bar today. Thing is super bright even in the middle of a sunny day.

 

hey guys, I hardly seen any white 2nd gens with grey trd wheels. So, here's my truck. Just got them mounted.

 

My day just significantly changed.

It looks like today is the day my truck gets actual 37" 37's instead of the existing the 35" BFG 37's.

 

I have one ordered. How was install?

 

Shit imma do this tmro

 

Not bad at all. Probably took me about an hour. The hardest part was fishing the wire and plug through the firewall. I used a small dowel rid to run it through from the cab, and then taped off the end real good and pulled it thru.

 

Rotated tires, inspected rear drums, inspected front rotors/pads and greased brake pad pins, greased the 5 zirc fittings on front propeller shaft & rear drive shaft. Checked fluids, air and cabin filters. Ready for 2020/21 winter! Technically a 5,000 mile service without an oil change that I did last month.

 

replaced 6 year old Kenwood head unit and bad JLAudio MHX300/1 amp with an

$280 Alpine ILX-W650 Digital Multimedia Receiver with CarPlay and Android Auto Compatibility

Alpine ILX-W650 head unit and Alpine S-A60M amp, I already had the

$290 Alpine KTP 445U Universal Power Pack

Alpine KTP 445U amp for head unit and JL Audio speakers all around... my system is better than ever, I have always intended to upgrade back to Alpine, I loved my Kenwood, but I have always missed my Alpine settings ever since letting everything but my amps go with last truck. My Jams have never sounded so good.. (i'll post pics once do the final touches)
NEVER AGAIN will I let my system go, at 59 Audiophile jams are must, its the only thing time and the VA can't take from me

 

Parked next to this thing.

 

Now this is true TW lingo! We have a new language! Nice

 

Holy crap. I hope this wasn't at high speed.

 

Changed my spark plugs today. Could have probably done it 10k miles ago but better late than never!

 

my buddy had a 1980s suburban 4x4 for his winter truck when in high school. We used to drive it into ditches on purpose to see if we could get stuck. Never happened. That thing was a damn beast.

 

Today I put my new to me tires on.
Lol.

I needed to do a little "roadside" chopping.

And now I'm 4 1/2 hours behind schedule for tomorrow mornings boat sale. I have to finish this trailer up tonight.

Interesting fun fact, my friend Paul that painted this trailer for me also restored the original all steel Batmobile in the late 1980's.
