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

there is always this option also. I can't stand that chime.

 

Wow, good to know I wasted my time haha. Thanks for that resource.

 

Worked on my 08. Will try it on the 12 too. Love the tips and tricks found on TW.

 

I drove across Florida to get a set of shocks that were already assembled because of how much I hate spring compressors. I’ve had to use them when working on a friend’s cayenne and they are not only a pain, but also terrifying. Good on you for getting it done though, that definitely took some patience.

 

Restored the "4x4" figures on the rear mudflaps. It had been bugging me since I got the truck last year. The right side was almost completly gone/faded as like most of them I see. I used a white oil-based paint Sharpie pen. It says the paint will adhere to just about any surface. The paint flowed out real nice when the point is pushed in.
I think it turned out pretty nice.

 

Amazon tail light guards

 

Show me food youve cooked on that little smoker, that thing is fricken awesome!

 

Thats so cool!

 

Changed out the air filter on my 06 4.0 today. Amazon is amazing! Noticed front bumper is kind of loose and probably vibrates when driving. There are two mounting holes at the center of the bumper with nothing in them!

 

1st time I did this myself, cold sweats and all.......second time I was wiser and paid someone to do it. They actually did it for free for me so I tip'd the guy who did it $50. 2 different shops couldn't do it. Eventually it was an RV suspension shop that did it for me putting eibach pro's on my 5100's. Even the RV mechanic struggled but got it. I have nightmares starring the MacPherson Spring Compressors.

 

Didn’t work for my 2014. Dang it

 

first thing I do when I unplug or get a new battery.

I think there is a different combo for the later 2nd gens.

 

For all you spring compressor users, give this a watch. Works like a charm and safe.

My mud flaps didn’t make it a month when I bought my truck. First time I got off pavement I lost a front and a rear. Pulled them off and left them in a trash can before I even came home.

 

Bummer. Pro tip: people on TW will buy them for $100. Ask me how I know

 

Well, I only had 2.....and I still had to drive the opposite way down the road that removed the other two. I figured the truck or the road was trying to give me a hint.

 

Had to make some changes. Swapped to a different toolbox and dropped in a Softopper. Getting ready for camping season when it cools off again.

 

MD Dakar wasn’t enough. Added one. Now I’ve got the vibes.
