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

Added +10HP

 

SDHQ terminal and group 31 installed. Toyota really didn't leave much extra length on the cable. I'd like to replace the Big 3 cables but that looks like a royal PITA. I can see I'm going to need to make a longer cable for my aux fuse box too. That's gonna be a bitch.

Also, the older Odyssey must not have had that plastic lip around the outside. My Pelfreybilt cage baaaaarely made it

 

No pics but installed a Max Bore Throttle body to get a little more throttle response vs all the BS electric voodoo available.. So far so good took a bit to get the idle to calm down but a nice little notice on tip in non the less..

 

Ahem...

Order placed!

 

I had no issues with running before the spacers. I just added them purely for aesthetic purposes

 

Thank you, sir!

 

Girlfriend is about to head out on a road trip in her 2005 Tacoma. She has been noticing some extra sound from the serpentine belt area. I finally had a chance to check it out. Number 2 idler pulleys are starting to go. Planning to replace the belt before she leaves. Anyone have a sense of how quickly those pulleys go from a bit of noise to totally worthless and seized up? Not sure if we will be able to get the pulleys before she leaves, so wondering if I should send her down the road or tell her to postpone the trip. Pulleys felt pretty good, I am guessing they will be fine for another 2,000 miles until she gets back. Anyone concerned they might go from okay to seized in that time? Thanks!

 

Nice are those the flaps the site says for oversized tires ? I need to get a set of those .

 

Replacement filter , I got around 10 years out of the last one before the rubber on the edges deteriorated

 

Regular are a “couple inches shorter” or you request SHORT which are 3” shorter ? Truck looks good !

 

didnt take long for mine to go. Maybe a month tops once I started having squealing.

 

Personally, I’d want to change them ahead of a trip that long. Realistically, if she has some common sense and a good ear, she can listen to them on the trip and find a shop if they suddenly start acting up.

But, my wife, with my daughter, I’d change them.

 

Thanks for the input guys. Very helpful. Hopefully we can get the part swiftly. If not, she is very attuned to the truck and can definitely get it taken care of if it starts going bad quickly and get to a dealer close to where ever she is at. She is also capable enough to do the swap, so I may order the parts a couple stops into her trip so she can pick them up and install them on the road. Appreciate the input!

 

Can’t comment if it’s a 4 banger, but it wasn’t exactly a pleasant job on a V6. Easiest to access the idlers from below by removing the skid plate.

 

I got a pair of powerstops in my garage I might have time to install next weekend. I'm not looking forward to the break in procedure though. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it done on the road outside my house. Usually has a lot of traffic.

 

Thanks! These are the ones for the oversized tires and are the short version.

 

Ok thanks . I’m going to grab a set tired of the front tires rubbing

How do you fee the bass is for now? Do you think you may want more later or is the 8'' fine. I'm leaning towards an * but not sure if should go with a 10
