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

Replaced Battery with X2 27F and re-did some of the terminal connections to remove corrosion.

 

Where does everyone get their diff oil from? My local stealership doesn't stock any and no store around has it in stock, Advanced auto has to order it and its gonna cost $30 a qt Amazon is a little cheaper.

Also anyone got the part numbers for the Lexus drain plugs for the front diff and trans case? I can't find my bookmark

 

Wife is off work for the summer. She took the Tacoma and went kayaking...someone say a prayer for me.

 

Today is a good day: I've scheduled the final loan payment on my truck. 60-month loan paid off in 43 months. Feels good.

I do this:

Red Line 57905 75W90 GL-5 Synthetic Gear Oil for Hypoid Limited Slip Differentials - 1 Gallon

https://www.amazon.com/Red-Line-579...2&sr=1-1-ea136695-3596-4534-80e7-1570345d02b9

Can’t beat Amazon.

 

Lexus front Diff Drain# 90341-24016 ; Fill# 90341-18060…. can’t help on the t-case since they are already a hex. And x2 ordering the Diff oil from Amazon

 

Oil change, SPC ball joints greased and all 5 u joints greased. The front 2 u joints sucked with full skids

 

I just wanted to clarify that, with my base model Atoto A6 PF, there is no built in sim card reader. Looks like most other Atoto models have a front or rear sim card port. Not a big deal as I have an unlimited plan for hot spot use. I don't know if one of the usb 3.0 cables is capable of supporting a sim card reader. I will at least look into it since I have an extra sim. They do sell sim card readers for usb ports. I think all of the more expensive Joying units do have sim card ports.

 

It's been a little bit since I've posted but I've done spark plug on it for the first time since owning it and wasn't too bad. I got new headlight housings and LEDs which make it so much better for being able to see at night over the factory faded and cracked housing. Installed my Cali Raised og lights and Cali Raised Ditch lights. Waiting for a few connectors to get the ditch lights working.

 

Changed mine recently, picked up several quarts of Lucas full synthetic for $9/per from rock auto.

 

Glad those headlights worked out for you, looks good

 

I spent some time putting on this new to me arb bumper last weekend. Just waiting for some more free time to work on wiring up 4 new pod lights and my light bar.

 

@Voltron4x4 Did your truck already have the pressure readout before? Mine just has the TPMS idiot light but not the actual pressures. I've been wondering if the info is there and if the Maestro would show it.

 

Got the tires installed, these will go on the PreRunner later on

 

I love being I blinded by on coming traffic with leds in halogen housings it's awsome.

 

That is because SOME PEOPLE do not know how to adjust their headlights. I had them in my 2016 Tacoma, oriented and adjusted properly, and never blinded oncoming drivers. It is the ones that just stick them in and drive that blind people. I do think the bulb quality is partially to blame. I tried the budget bulbs in one car and they were scattered all over the place so I quickly removed them. I had my Tacoma adjusted where they barely came up to the bottom of the rear glass of cars in front of me. They were Hikari Ultimate bulbs in Pro halogen housings. I too hate meeting oncoming cars that appear to have police spotlights for headlights.

 

OKay but even LEDs in LED housings are blinding, hence the NHTSA recalls.

I also ran Hikaris and aimed them similarly, I never once got flashed. I did move back over to the ultimate headlight mod though, bit brighter than the Hikaris and definitely further reaching.

 

Yes I am not putting LED's in my 2nd gen. Need to read more on the ultimate headlight mod. My headlights never had much output so need an improvement.

 

Because they don't adjust them. I have them in mine and mine are fine.
