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

I finished installing this howe steering pump kit today, and hoooollyyy fuck. Paired with my tundra rack, it feels like I’m driving a Camry. My steering wheel is so light and turning the tires is so much easier.

Got my Scangauge II installed. Need to figure out what I want to display aside from transmission temp (TFT) and battery voltage (VLT). Maybe engine oil and water/coolant temps.

 

Muffler delete…. Then discovered a trans cooler leak in one of the lines.

 

@WarFab Armor tie rod sleeves installed. Quality, smart product and a good feeling having this beef up front.

 

After my trucks first downpour today since installing a new 3rd brake light I discovered (as suspected during install) water in the cab due to a crappy gasket. So I ordered a new gasket and for the time being has a small bead of black silicone around. It might be permanent as it's not noticable. We'll see.

 

Did a bunch of hard trails with my “sl” load tires. Over 30k miles.

today I decide to go on a slight rough gravel road……

 

Natty Boh!

 

Chopped and ready for bumper build.

 

Replace diff gasket. During replacement noticed the bottom 2 or 3 nuts has worked themselves loose. I am guess from an out of balance driveshaft I had. This was a bitch of a job. I HATE drum brakes too!!!

 

Had the wrong bumper mount my backup camera (2005-2010?) and had it strapped into the tailgate mount and held on with zipties.



The correct Brute Force Fab mount showed up in the mail this morning, and, yeah... way better.

 

Too damn hot to do anything. 115 on my driveway.

 

Did those wheels come standard in 14 or did you add them too?

 

Those wheels were released with the 2016 3rd gen TRD OR. Must have been takeoffs.

 

Yeah, the PO put these wheels and tires on. I personally really like them!

 

I’m waiting on parts so I drove it to the store and picked up some ammo.
Ok, It’s just airsoft ammo, don’t judge me.

 

Absolutely agree. They look great on the older trucks, and unlike my PRO rims. They are super easy to clean.

I got mine with the tires and shocks/springs for 400.00 bucks off of a guy upgrading his 2022 offroad

 

Thank you sooo much bro... Im a gun guy too, and a huge camper. I am sick of picking up air soft rounds. You paid extra extra for those. But I'll buy you a beer and a burger any day.

 

Is there an airsoft thread on here?

Looks level in picture with set of steel 16s hopefully rake isn’t too bad after unloaded.

 

I don't think there is.
