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

I can’t speak to the squeaks, I have never noticed mine squeaking. The 303 will keep the seals from drying out, getting brittle, and cracking. It makes them feel very slick and keeps them soft which should stop squeaks. My childhood buddy and his brother run a body shop. I’ve seen people bring cars in with water leaks because the door seals were dried out and brittle. They tell customers to put some type of protectant on them a few times a year. That’s the main reason I do it.

 

Little late on the reply here. 130,000 miles on it. Still have not heard if it will be totaled or not. I should find out by this Tuesday. Everything takes forever these days.

At this point I am hoping it is not totaled. Tacoma inventory is low and prices (new and used) are high. If it is totaled I hope they value it fairly. Was in very good condition and just had a brand new frame and suspension put in...

 

If its totaled might be worth it to consider buying it back. If the frame is bent I would hope you could buy it back for very cheap and if nothing else make an offroad crawler or something.. if the frame is ok, its probably not such a bad rebuild. I have rebuilt a couple Toyotas and for how cheap you can typically buy vehicles back for you could come out pretty dang good depending on what kind of damage you have...

 

Here is a cool idea since it’s appears as the rear end is the only visible damage. A complete replacement rear deck system by RSI. You’d be the envy of all us mall crawlers!!

Nice, i'll check out what I can. Maybe my radiator support bushings are bad. Thankfully i got sucked into the TacomaWorld black hole of buying things and already have the poly bushings ready to go for that.

 

$14,600?!?!

 

Might as well just get a second truck at that point

 

cheaper to get an aluminum Ute tray

 

Took my taco in to find out why my dash brake light was staying on. A little brake fluid and cable adjust and $45 dollars later no light. Money well spent.

 

1. Changed the oil
2. Replaced climate control bulbs with LED’s

 

Did the same on mine and it's noticeably kept my temps cooler when hauling and climbing. Which cooler did you end up going with?

 

That’s good to hear, I plan on monitoring temp with a scan guage just haven’t put the right code in yet. https://www.etrailer.com/Transmission-Coolers/Derale/D51610.html

 

Omg that is gorgeous but at half the value of my truck no thanks

 

Filled tank with gas. Going to be a cold one tomorrow -19 F. Shit is getting real.

 

Ya real cold here in ma too with windchill.

 

I looked for a set of those for a while and gave up trying to find them. (I wanted the OEM not the knock-offs)

 

About 4 degrees with windchill tmrw on the cape. Coldest in a couple of years I think

 

Ok

Okay, that’s a silly price. Yikes!

 

I guess this is one of the reasons why Southern California costs sooooo much

 

Plus about 100 other advantages, but the disadvantages are so extreme idk... my wife won't move so it really doesn't matter.
