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

Crawled underneath with the hose to wash out winters crap.
Living in the rust/snow belt I do it every spring.
Also gave it a good wash job.

 

Picked this up.... too bad it's going to be a few weeks before I have the time to install it all and I have to redo some of my accessory wiring first to accommodate it.

 

Use woolwax

 

What did the 10 hours of labor run you?

 

Fuck this thing ….



I blasted a giant hole in the woods on Sunday and knocked the alignment out of whack.
Went to reset it to - I have the cams marked - and found this.

No wonder the cam was loose.

Luckily I was able to chase a set of 1/2-13 threads on to it as a temporary fix.






I ordered a replacement cam already.

I may look into doing a set of Taco Tabs or something eventually, but truthfully this is the first time I’ve had an issue with the alignment cams.

those look nice, first time seeing that brand

do they perform as well as they look?

 

The funny thing is that these same tweeters were direct plug and play on my 3rd gen non-JBL. Did not have to swap the plug blades like on my 2nd gens.

 

I do use woolwax.
That why my frame looks so good after 8 Pa winters.

 

Good man! Looks great

 

Summer Wheels time! and a badly need bath

 

That shined up nice!

 

I hope so for the cost.

They seem to be more popular with jeep and raptor owners but they all rave about it. On the fly adjustable active control shocks.

 

Want!

 

3rd and hopefully final ham radio antenna relocation. Nice little bracket from GFC.

I do not enjoy pulling wire through the underside of the truck! Worst part was seeing some of the work I had done that was not so hot. If this truck was younger I would want to rewire it all. Sigh!

 

I always use my steel RCI skids to lift it. Never had an issue.

 

paint the rear drums black.. easy, nice updgrade

 

Not today but Sunday I did an oil change and trans flush before we hit the road. After that we towed our trailer from MN to southern CO to start our new life on the road. Got a nice site on Trinidad Lake for a few days for the girlfriend to work before we move down into New Mexico for a couple weeks then on to Arizona.

 

Any problems pulling that trailer?

 

Well... Its about 4000 lbs fully loaded so flat isn't an issue. We were averaging 10.8 mpg from MN to NE. On Tuesday we were encountering 15 to 25 mph head winds threw Kansas and Southern CO which dropped us to about 6mpg and I was hardly able to get out of 3rd. Climbing hills in Co it likes to rev and not accelerate. I think a re-gear would help a lot. Or a Tundra but I'm not ready to give up the Taco yet.
