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

Did the gass hole. Was it worth $25? I don't know we'll see. But the screw from 2006 was huge pain to get put, stripped it a little.

 

Every time I have used one of those I felt the reaper over my shoulder! I will pay someone to do it for me any day of the week.

 

I end up using mine quite often.
I hear the screw removal is hit or miss on it being easy. I recall some guys stripped it completely. Glad you got it out.

 

Absolutely beautiful truck man, really good work The bronze looks amazing

 

Good job. As long as the safety pins are set, they are fixed at 180° apart and parallel to the shocks, and equally tightened and loosened, they are safe. The problem is that many people don't know what 180° and parallel actually refer to. In the wrong hands this is a deadly tool. I would rate this as a zero beers job. Once complete it deserves a few shots and a xanax.

 

Did a quick job today and swapped out a door lock actuator that was acting a bit funky (from an aftermarket kit).

 

That story alone makes me glad I bought fully assembled struts... Good work though

 

Thanks man, much appreciated!

Don't they? I love the way it turned out

 

Just got it on Amazon, comes in a pack of two.

The larger version to replace the one on the back of the truck comes from Alibaba.

 

Yep, screw those things. I assemble them using the weight of the truck. Super easy and less sketchy.

 

Reinstalled diff drop spacers from previous lift (were on for 14.5 years with zero issues.) On new lift (icon 2.5 rr coilovers set at 2") a couple boot fins were touching... not any more!

 

Looks great!

 

In honor of Top Gun going back into theaters, I busted out the trusty ole shift knob!

 

How much was it to rent?

 

I rented one from Advance Auto, I think it was around $60 or so.

 

Thanks, did exactly that. The first one took so long cause I was scared shitless, so was going extra slow and checking the parallel every 2-3 turns; I was just as careful with the second, but got the hang of it by then so it went a lot smoother.

 

$10 for a week, with an $80 refundable deposit.

 

I installed mine 4 years ago and it's still going strong. No more siphoning attempts! Plus, the meso gashole is the perfect addition once the leash is gone.

 

Weird! I know a faulty gas cap or dinged filler neck can throw P codes. I've never heard of a trac light coming on because of it. Throw on the old one and see if it clears the codes.

 

Made a couple quick seatbelt-chime-stoppers for when offroading. Who wears seatbelts when offroad anyway lol

Its nice to have a 3kW laser in your garage.
