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

Got a fresh prinsu from @TacoFett, in excellent shape!
Was scared it was gonna start raining, so I held off and then finished pretty much in the dark.

 

The top connection was a pain due to lack of space but doable. I use plastic plugs to close off the lines to minimize brake fluid dripping. Bled the brakes, went for a test drive and everything was good.

 

Every video I've seen makes it look like a nightmare. What caps did you use?

 

I used these. Another pro tip, use a good flare nut wrench. I had an old flare nut wrench and it wouldn't grip the nut well enough and kept slipping. Picked up a good set on Amazon and it was cake.

Used it to haul a quad for my girlfriend's little brother...

 

Its not that hard, just requires really akward positions. I was sore from the wierd positions required to get the upper ones off and back on for a couple days.

 

Ran over my mail box, wtf

 

I don't like this, but it made me laugh.

 

Drove it to my Niece's house, again. Had to change the spark plugs on her car.
Over the last few days, I have been getting the smell of oil through the A/C. I replaced a PCV hose thinking that was the leak but it must still be leaking.
During my drive yesterday I stopped in to Toyota and picked up the valve cover gasket set. Of course it had to rain today

 

Fabricated and test fitted a mount for some lights behind the grill (yes I know that it'll filter out some of the light....no need to point it out). Pulled it out for a couple of tweaks, and coats of flat black. Hopefully I can get them wired up today. Turns out with my lo pro bumper its gotta be EITHER a light bar, or a winch. There can be only one, so the behind grill lights are my alternative. Next step, winch.

 

Played with the worlds hardest jigsaw puzzle, but its all up there now!!

 

Changed the oil and emptied the catch can.
Aired up the tires.
Hauled some doors from Sacramento to Reno

 

Gave it a bath

 

Quick wash with the new foam cannon and a quick interior cleanup.

 

Had a flying table hit the hood at the farm today. I got most of it popped out. Super impressed with the hood quality.

 

Added some Trail Toys edge trim to the fenders this weekend along with fixing the flap tent cover straps.




Girlfriend got her Method 316’s on the truck this weekend. We trimmed her rear mud flaps along with trimming exhaust and adding a tip at a better angle.

 

Hey can you take some more pics of the rack on the truck?

 

Nothing fun, but new inner/outer tie rod ends today. Got rid of more of the pops and cranks from my front end but not all of them. Overall, still worth it.

 

Out with the old. In with the new.

 

Oil and Filters change.
