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

Nice wheels and pretty rare! I was thinking about running them on my
reg cab but found some 3rd gen TRD off road.

 

Drove to the gas station and saw a xrunner

 

Changed out the original spark plugs on my 2013 DCLB 4x4. 80k miles. Can't believe they've never been done before. Probably should have had this higher on my to do list but at least it's done now. The NGK ones seem to have worn more on my truck. No way to tell if that's NGK or just left side/right side engine.

 

Letting the clear coat cure for 24 hours more then waxing, maybe even hit them with 3000 grit and spray again.

 

Appreciate the info man. All the aftermarket radios I’ve installed have been from Crutchfield and they give a bit more info on the products they sell vs the Joying website.

 

Dropped the truck off to get the hood stripped, prepped, and repainted earlier in the week, and picked it up yesterday. Looks good as new.

 

Drivers definitely enjoy getting in front of you with about a foot to spare. You can see all the garbage body work that has been done on the NYC taxis from continues accidents haha

 

This weekend im installing weBoost. So i can have better reception wherever i go. Always wanted to do that mod, but was skeptical to drop $600 on the damn signal booster. Will see how it works, heard good and bad about it. You will not know unless you do your own experiment lol.





Ran the cable through the back cab.

 

I went the hiboost route. It does work, but the huge caveat is, there has to be some signal. It doesn't work when there's no signal to boost

 

Yeah i was aware of that, did my hime work. Even though people say they had signal but this damn thing wasn't working.

 

Replaced my rusted out rear bumper reinforcement bar. It literally broke when I took the bolts out

 

Thanks man, my setup has been pieced together over time. I’ve estimated about 6'' lift in the front and 3-4'' in the rear on my truck.


This is the lift that was on the front of my truck when I bought it.

I replaced the coil-overs and added an extra 2'' in the front with this set.

Here is the lift I have in the rear.
The tires I run are BFG KM3s 33/10.5 R17

 

Nothing too fancy. SDHQ battery terminal covers. And yes, I need to clean up/redo my underhood wiring.

 

Put on a Bugflector II.

 

So damn pretty…

 

Since 50,000 is finally on the odometer I have been doing all the big maintenance over the summer- transfer case and differentials fluid changed, plugs changed, throttle body cleaned, pvc changed, wheel bearings changed, steering rack changed, new LCA’s with white poly bushings, taco tabs installed to lock in alignment, new fox 2.5 resi coil overs with 650 eibach 14” springs , 2.5 fox smoothies with resi purchased being revalved and setup by Accutune in El Cajon California waiting on delivery.

So today’s / weekends project was to install an auxiliary transcooler in line with the oem trans cooler. Also completed the transmission flush and fill with a pan drop and clean. Installed a new strainer/filter and pan gasket.

Getting ready for next weekend in Colorado doing black bear pass, imogene pass, and possibly some others.

I Appreciate all the great write ups in this forum that assists in keeping our Tacoma’s in pristine running condition

 

I need to do the same. How much was the job.

 

The bill that I got for my records said $450, but it was charged to the car wash. Not sure if they have some sort of agreement for a lower price or not.

 

That was an unexpected replacement part for me when I got rid of my chrome bumper. But mine wasn't that bad.

 

Did the car wash do damage? My hood is in horrendous shape
