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

Time for a frame pull and after market bumper haha

 

Got them installed.

 

Upgraded my tweeters. Always a good day when you can bust out the Dremel.

 

Prevents water getting in the diff if you ever drive through deep water

 

To clarify, it prevents your diff acting like a vacuum and pulling in water through the clamshell when you're in high water for any amount of time other than "just passing through a deep puddle for a second"

Part of the mod is also replacing the breather from a one way to a two way. The one way breather means that it would push out hot air from the diff while the water is cooling the clam shell, creating an environment in which water intrusion is HIGHLY LIKELY because it's under negative pressure. The two way breather means it actually has a chance to expel hot air while letting in cool air to adjust the environment without vacuum. That's also why you're adding the long hose, because you go from something that shouldn't allow water to enter to something that definitely would allow it, if you didn't have it sealed and rerouted.

 

About $30 less than Weathertechs for a full set.

 

Thanks. Yours looks awesome! Yeah I was debating on paint. I’ll dip it and see what she looks like!

 

Wanna sell the mirrors? Sorry if it’s too soon..

 

Was walking through Ross tonight with my wife and saw a bunch of these for $7.99. Hard to beat for a little truck/campground shovel. Now I just have to figure out where I'm going to put it.

 

Installed icon rxt leaves at stage 2!!!

 

Full clay & wax detail of the truck today. Been neglecting it since March of last year lol. She was F-ing dirty...



Also I'm not the kind of guy to detail the bed of the truck but I gave it a shot and I'm happy I did. Pressure washed it and applied Scotch guard/UV protectant.

BEFORE



AFTER

 

Replaced both front bearings. much improved.

 

Looks awesome! After I put the T4R TRD wheels I noticed everyone else has them too lol. Should have done something more original...

Are those WeatherTech deflectors on your side windows? Do you notice reduced wind noise from them while the windows are rolled up? I'm trying to reduce wind noise on my truck.

 

Thanks! Hard be original with wheels these days and get something that looks good.

I’ve had those deflectors since I bought it so not sure of the brand. They do work great with weather outside and possibly a tad quieter than without. Will replace if anything happens with these.

 

To complete the full detail on my ‘08 Tacoma I cleaned all the glass. Someone on one of my forums said that CarPro Clarify is the best glass cleaner out there and after using it I agree 100%.

 

Beautiful!! however the "Bow-Tie" on the brick chimney raises questions!!!! (jk)

 

Beautiful Truck, Just a reminder!! All Access Cab photos should come come with an "XRating" they are considered "Vehicle Porn"

Beautiful Truck, An Access cab no less!!!!

 

Hey, does anyone know about the fender flares I sometimes see with exposed screws to hold them on? Are they after-market?

 

Yes, they are. The bolts are purely cosmetic. I went ahead and drilled all 48 holes out and replaced it with black hardware. I have these.
