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

Just as an update to this, I made the same trip in similar conditions and the highest it got was 212 going straight up with no stops. The last trip with 242 included a stop to cool down. So this is totally worth it for anyone who tows mountain roads. The factory cooler just doesn’t cut it alone.

 

I was going threw the Big Horn Mountains last week, very steep grade for over 20 miles and without towing and I saw sustained trans temps in the high 230s. I think I need to get another cooler before I buy a trailer. Where did you get yours from? also how much extra fluid you need?

 

Corolla Hatchback. I will eventually pick up an older truck to tinker with.

Thanks Kip

 

Hope you plan on sticking around here amigo!

 

GR Corolla??

 

I would have to donate my kids, my right kidney, left testicle and both of my wife's 38DDDs.

 

I'll still be around here and there. The stock thread needs me

 

Installed dakars and extended b110’s to fix my rear sag.

Glad to hear!

 

Today I recieved some stripes for my pro comp wheels was kinda skeptical since they were under $4 for the set of 16 stripes on ebay but we'll have to see if they hold

 

@Northbound_Taco Looks like a helluva trip! Some scenic space out there...MN aint got nothing like that!

 

Finally fixed my LED bar switch to a proper button. Redneck engineering wasn’t cutting it lol.

 

Discovered my rack bushings are shot.

Wyoming range (the Grays) which trails did you go down? I love driving around back there, Awesome pics!

 

Ordered a set of Akebono Pro-Act Ultra ceramics for the front brakes. Who knew NAPA did same day delivery if you ordered before 10am? Not this guy, but it's a nice surprise.

 

Right on man! Proper post too (pics). Nice to see someone actually justify having all the shit on their truck. Sincerely mean that as a compliment!

The shot of your truck, riverside, complete with dog bed...

I got my Hayden 698 from Rock Auto for $67.65 shipped. To route it in series with the OEM, I needed to buy another couple of feet of hose. I think I added maybe a 1/4 quart of fluid.
