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

That sucks! The problem with the whole thing is the traffic in those 4 lanes have the right of way. The Prius clearly wasn’t paying attention, but the insurance company and police can easily say he had the right of way and you were at fault. The way people are driving nowadays is ridiculous! Everyday I’m surprised by the speed people are driving and how reckless they are. You were doing what everyone does, but the fact that the lane he hit your from was open for him to drive down makes it that he had the right of way. Like you said, at least no one was hurt. Good luck with everything!

 

I usually have about 300+ LBS of tools and various things back there for work, and a shell. I’m hopeful that’ll be enough to do the trick over time

 

I got the same ones, some of the nicest packaging I have ever seen for parts!

 

Sun spot on the clear coat is my guess. Wax wax wax

 

That should just do it yes

 

how did you secure your tri color emblem on the grille? I have on just like it, I just torqued down the two nuts as much as i could. The little plastic brace is bending.

 

Well here's something you don't see every day. I'm due soon for my standard 5K service as I'm approaching 140K miles. I changed out both air filters today and found this dried out small ruffed grouse up against the engine air filter. I last changed it in December after hunting season and it wasn't there then. Me thinks it was stuck in the intake tube.

 

Gotta wonder if your exhaust ever smelled funny.

"Geeze, what is that I smell... I keep thinking I smell Kentucky Fried Chicken."

 

I probably lost 50HP with that blockage.

 

Front and Rear Differentials, Transfer Case fluid change and Oil change.
Trouble shot the Retrofit Headlight issue I was having - solved.

 

Awesome looking truck

 

Thank you it’s addictive

 

Just lifted the truck to 2"inch upfront and 1 in the back. I kept it with 32" tires because I don't want to deal with the 33" downside effects lol. For what I do, mostly surf fishing, kayak fishing and some moderate off-roading from time to another, this meets my needs. My next mod will be adding the ditch lights, the ones that go on both corners of the hood.

 

Alright so update: the shop I originally went to said the earliest they could get me in would be Friday.
Even after I explained that the pull wasn’t there before going to their shop.....

 

Sounds like the old cold shoulder to you, hoping you don’t follow up or take it to a different shop. Did you set up the appointment? I hope in the end it all works out for you. It just sucks to deal with. If I remember correctly from your posted #’s they just gave you the old “toe” and go alignment. Shameless thing to do.

 

Installed the dauntless tailgate assist. I just figured since I added all the weight to it, I might forget and this means I won't let it drop.

 

Use the truck today lol

 

I did setup an appointment. They guy seemed unsure as to whether or not they’ll cover the cost of whatever they messed up, but I’m sure I can reason with them when I’m there. Also, what’s a “toe and go”? Just basic settings without checking?

 

Today - End links (which came off surprisingly easy compared to others I've done) and bushings.

Tomorrow - Accessory belt and pulleys!
