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

Uhual rental was genius. Congrats on the new ride.

 

Today while at school I changed the fluids for my manual transmission, transfer case, and rear diff! I was planning to do the front diff as well but it appears the drain plug is stuck so I'm not going to mess with it until I get a new drain plug. Hopefully tomorrow I can get it done!

 

All the mods, repairs, miles love. Today I fixed her soul... 10 years ago my son shoved about 4 dollars worth of change in my 6 disc changer. Today I finally got the last coin out. And I'm happy to report. I loaded it with disc 1 Christmas music 2 nirvana unplugged 3 Alice in chains unplugged 4 mixed CD 5 mixed CD 6 Neil Young.

 

I have Nirvana Unplugged, Alice n Chains Unplugged, and a variety of Neil Young Crazy Horse, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, and Stevie Ray Vaughn, among many others, on a usb drive in every vehicle. You sir are a music connoisseur.

 

Christmas music aside.
I've been in retail for 25 years hearing the same Christmas music for 8-10 hours a day. This year is started the day after halloween.

 

Fast forward 15 years and we’ll be hearing Christmas music at Easter and buy Easter candy at Halloween.

 

Man, for a second I thought you were a student at my school...

 

I went to the wrong school for auto tech. We had 8 bays, 1 Hunter alignment machine and 2 lifts. It was a small NC community college in the 1970's. We did have a cool big block Chevy jet drive ski boat that we took out a few times.

 

Ok, one more question. When you installed yours (I know...2 years ago, but if you remember ) , did you really go with the recommended 12 Lb-Ft torque, or do you think it will take a little more? 12 just don't seem like enough.

 

idk i just tightened with a wrench, shouldn't take much to keep it tight though.

 

I installed a couple of Fumoto valves and I did not use a torque wrench. Just tightened them the same amount that I tighten regular drain plugs. They never leaked.

 

Information Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I must have this for my Tacoma and 4Runner!

 

You talking the molle panel or the mount?

Both actually, but you and @OverlAnderson squared away the magazine mount.

 

The MOLLE panel is mesocustoms I believe there are a few different makers out there.

 

Hit a deer tonight, first time, I guess it was bound to happen at some point.
Front end was hissing, no leaks that I could see.
Plus side is I changed my deductible from $1500 to $150 not even two months ago.
Funny thing is, I was reading about some other dude who hit a deer on TW and was out $2000 in damages and was regretting not lowering his deductible, which in turn led me to lowering mine. Guess I owe this fella a thank you of sorts.
Any recommendations on steel bumpers, what looks good but more importantly, is functional?

 

I think you are looking at at least $8000 in repairs. I've hit two deer in my Tacomas (08 & 13) and they were both around $8000. $150 out of pocket of course
