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

Had the same problem, and did the same fix.

 

Hardest part of it all was getting the damn nut off. It was nice and stuck on there.

 

Yesterday when I was repositioning my rear view mirror, I inadvertently discovered a menu on it. I'm sure many of you know about this already but I imagine a lot don't. If you hold the power button, an options menu comes up in the rear view camera spot, allowing you to customize the display color (Green, Orange, White, Blue), the compass zone (which mine was off), turning the icy road warning on/off, and a couple other things. Just wanted to share this if you have an electronic rear view mirror.

 

Solid choice. I’ll hopefully get bronze in whichever wheel I decide on.

 

I swear I’ve had that noise for like 6yrs already

 

This one.

Sometimes a little heat will help loosen those flare nuts. I would try a torch on them.

 

Go poke your head under and start wiggling heat shields. Another culprit is the one over the rear cats. Can use a hose clamp to fix that one.

 

I have a little torch maybe I will do that with the vice grips too because the metal feels really soft with the wrench. Heat won't ruin the hard lines will it?

 

Drove on a giant rock Landers Ca.

Thanks, yes, I will be ordering one for the truck and car, no, I realize they are limited into just what is available, but it looks pretty good Thanks!

 

Dug mine out of the snow, it’s tougher at 70.

 

No problem

 

Huh, I guess if I had to do it again, and didn't want to use the switch blanks on the dash for my needs, I would have used something like this:

CSF radiators going for $350 during New Years can’t decide if I need one

 

As long as air doesn't get into the ABS module you're good.

 

The son of a good friend of mine is 3D printing me a snorkel grill. Oh and it is glow in the dark filament might be kinda cool we'll see how it turns out in the morning.

 

Got a CSF radiator for a JK I use to own, it leaked, they sent me a replacement and it leaked too. Ended up buying a stock replacement from auto parts store no leaks.

 

Installed a quick release along with some other tasteful mods like fuzzy dice and a dildo shift knob.
