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

For out trucks? I highly recommend OEM for CV boots, axles, Timming belts, bearings etc..... You might save a few bucks in to beginning but in the long run it will cost you! JMHO!

 

Had my passenger side wheel bearing replaced. I did the drivers side, but then ran out of time to do the passenger side after having a baby. So now both wheel bearings are good to go for hopefully another 80-100k.

While I was having the shop do the passenger side they said my drivers side rear wheel bearing sounds just a tad rough... doesn't need attention yet, but probably in the somewhat near term future.

Also, i'm still chasing down this weird "clunk" from the front. I had the shop look things over and they couldn't find anything wrong... BUT as i was leaving the shop I heard it. So it may not be suspension related (thats what i told them to look at - all the front suspension components). Any other suggestions? There is a "clunk" when the truck is coming off the top off a speed bump or a hard compression like hitting the bottom of a speed bump. But it's gotta be pretty extreme, not like a small speed bump. I've been trying to track this down for months and can't find anything obvious. All other driving around town everything sounds fine.

 

I had a really weird sound I couldn't find a couple years ago so I brought it to a shop and they found my cab mount bolt was loose causing a very odd clunk I could feel in the floor.
Also I know my LCA bushing are going bad and making a bad squeak and clunk over bumps.

 

Switched the red letters out for Blue ones!

 

Driving down the road.
Old 2008 running smooth.
Minding my own business.
Getting ready to get on the interstate.
Then....
BAM !!!
This happens.

Regardless I still jumped on the interstate. Maybe she will get me cross town and back home. Made it home without incident. Good girl.

 

Awww its just a baby!

 

I figure 3 more years it will hit the first 100k.

 

That’s great my 05 just hit 88k! I posted yesterday

 

Wish my 08 only had that many miles , your truck isn't even broken in yet.

 

Take care of her and she will take care of you. My ‘08 recently turned over 416,000 miles. It still rides and drives like a new truck.

 

New foglights!

 

Holy moly that’s some miles!!!

 

Look good, which ones are those?

 

Did this today:



Then built a "just in case" porta-potty to keep my wife out of rest stop restrooms:



It uses waste bags from Cleanwaste:

that's certainly unique.

 

That's great! My wife just pees on the side of the road. Very uncivilized.

 

Well that is definitely different. Takes the rear seat delete to a whole new level!

 

Almost due for its first oil change

 

That’s awesome

 

Good morning!
