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

Used it like a truck and wheeled it…?

 

I installed side and tailgate lights. I am very visible now, especially in foggy and rainy days.

 

I am considering doing this to my "chrome" grille surround and possibly a replacement fender flare (1 has broken tabs). It appears that the paint quality from them is on par with the factory paint. What prep did you do to the plastic scoop. I am many things but a painter is not 1 of them. I read that poor prep on plastic parts is a guaranteed failure so seeking any advice.

 

We were camping down in Frisco area.

 

Took the kayaks out yesterday.

 

Locked my keys in it at work, and then found out the key from a 2014 RAV4 unlocks my truck. So that’s interesting

 

Not sure how people feel about cold but cold weather camping is amazing. Just something to try if you never have.

 

Oh boomer

 

Quite a productive weekend on the truck and in the garage. Finally got enough of it cleaned to set up my latest garage purchase



I then did a little work on the truck. Replaced the taillight wiring harness with a spare I had lying around because the turn light didn’t light up for whatever reason. I also found out my hood struts was causing a gap in my hood. Not sure as to why but I disconnected them for now. I also installed my once piece wheel guards. Are they perfect? No. Am I happy for $15? Absolutely.

pay no attention to the coils. New ones have been ordered. I’m just waiting for them to come in then these will be sent out to be completely rebuilt

 

I don’t have a problem with it, done it many times.
My Bassett hound and wife on the other hand…

 

Also big shoutout to @geekhouse23 for helping me swap out my tire with my spare at 6 AM because mine was low.

 

Well that's concerning.....

 

Yeah that’s what we said. We made the discovery right after I said “too bad it’s not a Honda from the 90’s and we could just use any key to open it”.

I would have assumed that the other 2nd gen in the lot would have had a key that might work in the door, or the 3rd gen. Not a different model from a different year range.

 

Did you say the line near the truck?

 

It's fun till your air mattress deflates in the middle of the night. Learned my lesson

Time for some new tread there my friend

 

How was the sand? It’s been super soft and thick in Corolla this year.

 

No pics because I was in a hurry but Friday night I replaced my 2 year old brakes that weren't bad at all besides the pulsing from the disks with power stop brakes. They are very nice! I tried to grease my SPC UCA's last week due to the super annoying squeaking coming from them. It worked for a couple days but now its back and worse. Anyone know how to get them grease? I put high molly on the bolt and washers. I couldn't figure out if I am able to that the center out or if its pressed in.

 

Treated my Black Trail Team wheels. Try and do this at least twice per year.
