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

Went home for lunch so I could grab my step stool and grease for the upper control arms.
I was going to replace the valve cover gasket and lube the upper arms after work today.

After stopping at my house, I went to my new job that I haven't started yet (had to sign some papers) to pick up a drug test form.
Went to the drug test site today after work instead of doing my truck, but they stopped testing at 3:00 and I got there at 3:30.
Now I have to go tomorrow and another day I won't be able to work on my truck.

Maybe Wednesday?

 

Fitted 1st gen mudflaps that I scored off Facebook marketplace locally @ auto shop for $15. Trimmed a lil bit off of front so they wouldn't hang down so low. I'm left w/ a slight rub up front only in reverse & full turn. Any body done this & remedy issue?

Thinking I can just add a way to pull flap in more twds fender. There is space between too...

Also wanted to add that a buddy of mine it getting me a paint marker that I can touch up the "4WD" on the flaps w/

 

Use the WS trans fluid. The OE WS style fluid is thinner than Valvoline.

 

Sup fellas mounted the grill to the front hitch so we can utilize our RTT at the same time!

 

Take that overlanders! Your move!

 

Nice!

 

Yessir!

 

I'm all about ridiculous ideas. While not for me, absolutely well done

 

Today my Tacoma towed 2 boats. I was told the boat in the top picture was around 5500 pounds but it felt heavier than that. Maybe the fuel tanks are full idk lol. On that one the trailer brakes didn't work. The trailer in the bottom picture had excellent brakes and towed well.

 

They are both right around a 6 CST at 100° C. Been using Maxlife in the power steering for sometime now

 

This was definitely worth the $70. I didn't do the tweeters because honestly I love doing stuff to the truck and want to save something for later. I have sound deadening and insulation in the entire cab (except the floor). I also have thermal tint on every window. The truck is much much cooler and now sounds better.

 

Rollin' coal... charcoal.

 

You should start a blog, or a build thread.

 

I have a build thread but I need to actually do something to my truck so I can add to it.

 

Yesterday, I gave the Badger a 60ft tint job to keep the cap from getting so dang hot.

 

Installed rock lights

 

May have to keep this picture when future requests arise for pictures of Tacoma grilles. Only to be a smartass.

 

Nice output and placement!
What lights are you using?
And where did you place all the lights?

Looking to do mine soon.

 

I stand corrected! but it seems to me that if you order the right part number for your truck year make and model etc...I should be pretty self evident either way.

 

Can’t beat the deal rn at BeetBuy!

Deadening and Insulation is next on my list
