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

Those with JBA UCAs, how did you reattach the abs wire? There is a hole drilled for the mount, but there's no way it will reach without modifying the bracket. Are yall just using zipties?

 

Hell yeah!
They are riding well in the winter too!

 

I used a zip tie cable clamp. It's a work truck, not a show queen, so it's dirty.

Adel clamp, probably the best choice, especially if you get the marine variety (non-rusting stainless steel).

 

Yes sir, good eye. Need to be within reception to work, but want to be out far enough to get away from everything.

 

Thanks man! This is why I love Tacomaworld, I didn't even know this little guy existed

 

Careful when fussing with the wire. I was installing my spc's and I think I mightve accidentally tugged it too hard when reinstalling, now my ABS light won't turn off.

 

Replaced my Transmission.

 

Ed your truck is always on jack stands brotha. How’ve you been man?

 

Nice set up. What are the wheels?

 

Looks like some Ray 10

 

Technically yesterday, but I sent her to the transmission shop to get a replacement transmission.

Last week I got stuck in some soft sand, and as I was easing my way out in reverse the transmission grenaded itself. I lost reverse entirely, but didn't lose (some) gears in drive. Got pulled out of the sand by some friendly neighborhood Jeep Grand Cherokees, managed to drive back to terra firma under my own power. The shop claims that's a miracle due to the amount of shredded gear teeth that fell out when they checked the fluid. So much for my holiday plans..

EDIT: Automatic transmission. What fun!

 

I'm assuming no over revving?

 

Did you have to remove your old skid plate for this install?

 

No, I really didn't push it hard before the big bad sounds began. Since I bought this truck used I've found that a lot on it hasn't been in the best shape. My thought is that it was on its last legs before I went to the beach that day, and getting stuck was the straw that broke the camel's transmission.

 

Automatic? Didn't read the entire post.

 

Yeah, automatic. I hadn't specified

 

Bought a scooped hood off of a local member.


Boring non scoop hood.







sexy skewped hood.

 

EBC Greenstuff7000 pads and painted the calipers...probably should have taken a pic before putting the wheels back on.

 

I'm not a fan of these but I have to admit it does look better on your truck!
