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

I replaced mine a couple months ago. And just like in one on the YouTube videos...3 were one brand, and three were another brand. All 6 were beyond their service life...no wonder I only got 15mph from Houston to Vegas.

 

I'd trade mine in a minute. I have no use for it.

 

You drove from Houston to Vegas at 15MPH? How long did that take?!

 

I think he meant 15mpg lol

 

He still isn't there...lol

 

Finally new sliders installed after selling my old ones months ago. Also installed and wired up a Gentex auto dimming rear view with homelink, it's a very nice product! Replaced the failing rubber swing gate bump with a nice poly one, hopefully this one lasts longer.

 

When I’m at that point I’ll just trim my factory studs I think. I have .75” spacers that won’t clear KMC beadlocks

 

That’s the way I’m leaning. It’ll be cheaper than getting the custom slip on spacers and extended studs.

 

Finished installing 8 rocklights

 

I ended up going smaller cause the sc works way better downsized. Think I went 285 75 to 275 70 turned way better

 

I could definitely feel a little pep in her step return with the smaller tires but she’s a wheeling rig so every bit matters off-road. These are a whole inch shorter which makes a decent difference off-road in the rocks.

 

Nothing too exciting, just did my idlers.

 

Installed ditch lights on my 2015 TRD Sport DCSB getting ready to hit 26,000 miles.

 

Bigger than expected. Driving through LI and NYC was tough.

 

25k miles. Shame on you!!

 

Rode shotgun and worked while on the road.

 

Forgot to fill up my truck before going on a long round trip. Decided this would be a good time to see how many miles I could get on a tank. My 2.7l 5spd with 148k miles got 18.1mpg! Stopped at a gas station close to home and had 2.9 gallons until empty. If my math is correct I could have got 382.9mi on a tank. Not too shabby! Below are pics of the mileage at the gas and fill up numbers.

 

Did you ever post up the tutorial vid? Been looking for it and didn’t find it any where...

 

So you have only done 5 oil changes in 5 years? Dang! Unless you are using synthetic then 2ish!

 

Welcome to the XL Club! You mounting it on your truck? Shes a big gurl!
