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

It was very easy. Probably took me 15-20 minutes and that was mostly just taking my time to not mess anything up.

 

Ok..
200,400
Oil change and filter
Cabin air filter
Engine air filter
Replaced the disintegrated gasket in the manifold/pipe connection.
I threw up a "How To" for that because there wasn't a good walk through for the 2.7

Not a Taco, polished and waxed wife’s ‘07 FX35. Got to love a Porter Cable and chemicals guys products!

And yes, those are 20x10.5” NISSAN GTR wheels all around.

 

Put on my new armilldillo bull bar.

 

I creased the back RH door of my access cab, so pissed........Damn desert mesquites .

 

Changed oil yesterday, chasing an intermittent electrical issue causing a dead woofer in my driver front component set. I reestablished the connection at the crossover network (the old fork connector was a little snug, might not have been a good connection) and checked the speaker itself. We’ll see where that goes.

Stuck at home for a while, wife and daughter both have Covid so I’m playing nurse. I’m asymptomatic a week after exposure thankfully.

 

Did ya clay it and polish it out?

 

If you want a bit more security remove the console and either loctite the bolts that hold the mount strap in place or swap them for security bolts. They are under the carpet OUTSIDE OF THE CONSOLE FOOTPRINT. Anybody willing to break glass could easily make two slits in the carpet and yank the entire console.

 

I was looking under my truck and seen grease everywhere. I thought my CV boot cracked. Nope. It looks like when I got the frame replaced a couple weeks ago they also burnt that up as well. My alignment was so far out it was a pile to even drive. Im pretty positive they just took the front suspension from the old frame and bolted it right to the new one. I know for a fact I wouldn't deal with that dealer again.

 

Full interior detail, exterior wash and treated with McKee's Hydro Blue Coating. Hoping it dries so I can treat the exterior black plastic/trim.

 

Finally installed the extended rear stainless steel braided brake lines from Headstrong Off Road. Cleaned up the axle and gave it a quick spray can job.

 

I just did the same as @outxider but mine are from trail gear. I need to.bleed the brakes again since the tubing I bought wasnt tight enough

 

So very little room at the top connection, but glad it’s finally done.

 

Kudos dude that's a proper JDM wifey car!

 

Dried up so I had time to hit the trim, Tonneau Cover, etc. with 303.

 

Installed the AJT climate control/4WD knobs. Crazy how much better those feel, and I’m thoroughly happy with them already.

 

Picked up a Slope meter the other day.

 

How was it?

 

Rear HC bumper install yesterday
