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

Since it’s not my daily anymore; it’s only gone up 10k miles since last summer

 

Pulled the pavement-princess out of the garage and loaded the kayaks up for four days of kayaking...
Five lakes and two rivers on the Oregon Coast, Mt. Hood National Forest, back to to the Coast, last day on the Clackamas River.

Pavement, sand, dirt, gravel, etc., about 900 miles total. Changed oil, filter, air filter, lube fittings, rotated tires, and washed this AM.

Pulled pavement-princess back into garage.

 

Finally got the RTT up there and sorted out. It’s too cold and rainy for us to get out so fingers crossed on next weekend.

I think this picture makes my truck look like a matchbox car hahaha.

 

Clazzios installed

 

I finally reinstalled the rubber pieces that go between the door and fender.
I used new clips.
I had them out when I pulled my bumper and fenders to replace some parts.

I'm looking at first, second and 3rd gen builds getting ideas once I start getting paid from my new job.
Why? Because some of the parts are universal and will work for me such as electrical stuff.

 

I like a clean shop.

 

This is my 5th shop and I’ll never leave because of that reason lol. Ac and 6 overhead fans that are huge.

 

I've never worked in a shop that had A/C. The cleanliness of race shops has me in awe.

 

That’s awesome! You just use wood and carpeted it?

 

Tinted 3 of the 5 windows on the shell. It’ll run, doesn’t look the best with the cuts but pretty good!

 

Yep! Check out this thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2nd-gen-double-cab-folding-dog-platform.224420/

 

I installed new spark plugs at 90k miles. I got some Bosch double iridium ones that i hope work great.

While I was changing them, i noticed that there's buildup in the cylinder chambers. I need to take care of that soon.

 

Replaced an idler pulley today and tried to clean up the engine bay a bit.

 

First wash in three months.

 

Changed out yesterday. I hear lots that say copper but I've had no complaints with iridium. Lasts a little longer while staying gapped correctly. A little more expensive but not a crazy amount.

 

I got it from Hooke on Amazon. Not meant for that location but worked perfect.

 

Sand on the tires

 

Nice truck

 

Corolla,NC?

 

Was getting some clearcoat failure on the plastic hood scoop insert piece (oddly enough, the ONLY place on the truck) so I rattle-canned it with paint from automotivetouchup.com. Very happy with the match and ease of application.
