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

report to the police, and tell them you want to press charges if the person is caught that is several states is attempted murder

 

In California if the windshield is less than $900 it's not a crime...

 

Just put in an order for Alcan left springs, so I can ditch my block.

 

awesome man! just little things here and there. keep going!!

 

Happy spring everyone! Washed the truck today and hopefully its the last time I have to wash it in the garage.

 

Dude he lives right around the corner from me
I saw him drive by as I was leaving the neighborhood around 5pm today

 

Added 50HP

 

Had to replace them on my 07... went with OEM outer tie rod links / Overland Custom Design sway bar links.

 

So when are you gonna “come clean” and tell us what the secret ingredient is?

 

Replaced torn CV boots with some tougher ones. Then tested them by getting the truck dirty (a little).

 

I need the 50 hp. Where can I find this?

 

Detailed the exterior of my ‘08 Tacoma base truck which recently turned over 422,000 miles with original drivetrain. I clayed the paint and then added a coat of Collinite wax. Next project is to detail the interior.

 

Rebuilt the slave cylinder. It went out driving on Saturday. Luckily it happened close to home and I was able to limp it home.



Another day, another oil change.

 

Finally bit the bullet and tackled a project that I was dreading. Ironically, procrastinating made it so much worse. Rear bumper was rusting inside pretty badly. Sandy, muddy schmoo tends to build up with a nice mixture of salt and is basically a corrosion magnet. All the bolts holding the bumper together were nearly seized

I spent several hours chipping, grinding and sanding as much rust as I could remove without a sand blaster. Then a heavy coat of rust converting primer, interior surfaces got a heavy coat of rubber undercoating, and the exterior a heavy layer of bed liner. Hoping the undercoat acts as a moisture barrier. Going to try and make a bi-yearly habit of pulling it, cleaning it out and checking the coating. Getting bumpers to PR is difficult and expensive, and I’d like to get another ten years out of this one. It’s still structurally fine, and it’s 95% cosmetically fine from the outside. Also, replaced all the hardware and sprayed the frame and surrounding parts with undercoat while the bumper was off. Luckily, the frame only has very slight cosmetic rust, if any.




The joys of living in the Caribbean. Also, after doing my C4 fab front bumper, I feel like the design on my All-pro rear bumper is lacking in thought a bit. It’s a quality bumper, but some things just weren’t thought out.

 

Link for the boots?

you no salt road baaahsatds!

 

It's in great shape for the mileage.

It seems like you're a Meguiars fan, going by the bottles.

 

Nice rebuild...I got mine replaced 50K ago when my fork snapped and throw out bearing seized.. $80 for the slave...there was no hope. This is what everything on my truck looks like at this point...

And new!

 

Wow! Clean, especially for an ‘07.
