Ok guys lets get her goin. What repairs have you done so far?

• My 2008 Tacoma (which my son bought privately my son was barely 17 at the time and I ended up buying it from him) stunk of weed. So first thing I had to do
• Remove seats an shampoo , shampoo, shampoo to get rid of smell
• Since then I replaced heater resistor
• Rear wheel bearing and bent side axle
• Some u joints and carrier bearing
• Front steering shaft
• Front bearings both sides
• Stereo
• Front side axle
• Brakes all around calipers rotors drums
• Both handbrake cables
• Changed ALL fluids
• Changed sparkplugs
• Replaced rockerpanels and painted truck
• Replaced windshield and back window
• Replaced tailgate
• Replaced rear leaf springs (twice)
• Replaces both headlights and tail lights
• Replaced clockspring
• Replaced some dashlights
• Had her in to Toyota for frame campaign ( they treated it and told me it was warenteed for another 10 yrs?
• Replaced muffler and exhaust
• Took off the wheel spacers that previous owner had installed (a whole lot of shaking going on)

I still have to

• Get service engine light off( maybe oxy sensor)
• Get abs light off (sensors I figure I did damage 1while replacing wheel bearing)
• Get tps light off
• Get handbrake light to go off
• Throughout bearing is a little noisy but I aint going in unless I have to

I'm sure I've missed something but I am working through it. Am I crazy? I can't seem to let her go.
BTW it had only 200000km when he bought it. It was driven hard and put away wet. It has 250000km now.

 

That's impressive. You have done alot of work to the truck. Hopefully it will last you awhile. Do you have any pictures.

 

Did you find the stash of weed?

 

Bought my '06 in Feb '20 with 105,xxx miles.

So far, I've done all the 100 kmile maintenance, replaced serp belt & pulley & idler (what a chore).

Next week is U-joints and carrier bearing.

Otherwise, just oil changes and general maintenance. Currently have 111,xxx miles.

I bought my 09 used with 53k on her. She's sitting at 143k now and has been as bulletproof as my old 99 Ranger. I replaced both FWB, battery and serp belt. Other than routine maintenance thats it. Not to say there's not stuff in the near future such as brakes and refresh the suspension. Im at the dealership now getting the radiator flushed and AT drain and fill. Like I said, routine maintenance

 

80k here.. nothing major:

- Spark plugs twice
- Rear/Front diff fluids
- Oil changes
- Grease zerks on driveshaft
- Headlight bulbs
- Two sets of ATII's
- New AAA Battery
- Air filter
- Cabin filter twice
- Front brake rotors and pads

For my 90k upcoming i'll do oil change, air filter, spark plugs again, rear/front diffs and the t-case this time.

And not tied to a maintenance interval but I have both front wheel bearings ready to be replaced. Just gotta man up and do it.

 

Bought my ‘06 in winter 2018 with 153k miles, has 180k now.
Since then:
4 tires
A battery
1 UCA
1 alternator
New catback
And soon to be replacing the y-pipe because the flanges are done for

 

I have done all of the work myself with the exception of the paint job. I have painted trucks before but I am not a professional
The grill is not put back yet because I am waiting for my light bar to arrive

 

Please excuse the Chrome rear bumper it was black before but rusted out. The bodyman picked it up and installed it.
Hey that's another thing that I had to replace

 

I also replaced the altinator and battery

 

Bought my 2009 a month ago with 120,000

Maintenence:
- Engine oil and filter change
- Transmission, trasfter case, front and rear diff fluid changes
- Driveshaft grease
- Cabin and engine air filter change
- Alignment

Repairs:
- Front wheel bearings
- Ripped seat cover change
- TPMS sensors put in (fixed light)
- Taco lean fix

 

70K on the odo

Other than oil changes and filters,
I have done Front and rear diff fluid twice
spark plugs once
greased the shafts once
brakes and lubed caliper pins once
and tans fluid once


Recently my secondary air injection valve froze and was replaced by the dealer for free under recall (https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/recall-secondary-air-injection-system.552676/)


Did I miss anything

 

Awesome posts guys
I'm changing a front side axle today ...I had to leave it for now but already I'm into a tie rod end because the nut was seized and the tapered end just spun around so I had to cut off nut. The inner part is not releasing on the side axle from the differential. Will try tomorrow again

 

Other than the minor lift, UCAs and ECGS bushing that were done within the first 5k miles.. currently at 129k and I've had to replace the following

Left rear axle seal and shoes
Front pads
Pull the transfer case and replace input seal

Oil changes obviously. Other fluids, tune up parts, accessory belt, etc have been done a couple times.

Right now/coming up.. the spherical bearings at the bottom of my coilovers are getting shot. 1 of the poly bushings in the left UCA has loosened up and developed some play. Need to spruce up the front end soon, but that figures with aftermarket suspension stuff

Also the A/C mag clutch hasnt been the same since i drove through a creek. I get the flashing light more and more for a few minutes when I turn it on

Other than that its fine. Always starts, not a single CEL or warning light

 

150,xxx miles. Owned since new in 2013.

Oil change every 7k, so 21 of those
Rotate tires every oil change, so 21 times
Grease driveshaft every oil change, she's been lubed up 21 times
Gear oil every 30k, so 5 of those
Spark plugs every 30k, again 5 sets of those
Third set of tires
Coolant drain and fill at 100k
Rear shaft u-joints at 120k
Front pads at 70k
Rotors and Pads at 145k
Cabin and engine air filter 2x a year since 2013, so 16 of those
Lots of fucking gasoline
Replaced the wipers twice!

Looking to go 350k+

 

Typical maintence oil tranny fluid diff and transfer case, plugs, coolant power steering fluid and brakes all around

Only repair was.the starter that I killed on a wheeling trip

 

Picked it up with 60,000km. Didn't bother looking underneath or getting it inspected since I figured it was still so new. When I got under to grease the u-joints I found it was wet with fluid where the transmission bolted up to the transfer case. That cost me about $800 (CAD) to get fixed by my mechanic, I believe there were two seals he replaced. Can't remember which ones now, might have been a transmission rear main seal?

I have 105,000km now. No other issues, I do all the regular maintenance myself. I've gone and done a few things ahead of schedule such as full coolant flush, power steering flush, and transmission flush as well though. None of which I'd consider "repairs".

 

‘05 TRD Sport just hit 200k on the clock

Had it since 50k in ‘09

Alternator
Serp belt and a couple pulleys
Plugs twice
Rear transfer fluid once
Air filter a few times
Always synthetic oil at service light interval
4Runner big brake upgrade with SS braided lines and new rear shoes and drums with full fluid flush and complete new hubs w/ new bearings from 05Taco4x4 (only job I had a shop do)
Replaced all the suspension with 3rd gen TRD off road takeoffs with about 15k miles about 15k miles ago
Just today got ‘17 4Runner take off wheels and tires so I can ditch the spacers I had for the brake upgrade

Think that’s everything.
I should probably get on a trans flush and fluid change as well as coolant. Soon hopefully.

 

This light goes into the fake air scoop. I put in the Ridgid Hyperspot and it is awesome. I keep the grill area clear of obstructions to get max air flow to the radiator and ATF cooler. I off road in the dez and air flow is very important to me.
