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

Hauled over 600 pounds of dirt on Monday for a garden the wife and I put in our backyard. The ride was nice and smooth but man were those leaf springs as frowny faced as they can get

Maybe the money we save by growing our own veggies will help cover the cost of new leafs… Yeah, I doubt it too…

 

Repainted the center caps matte black in preparation for the new tires that are getting installed next Wednesday!
235/85/16 Falken Wildpeak AT3W

I also did oil change and oil filter change.

lots of driving now with this field service job.

getting ready for camping trip in the white mountains with my dog, Kilo.

 

Just finished installing my new lcas with whiteline bushings and the taco tabs kit what a pain in the a$$ to get the new bushings in had to use my buddy's shop press every thing else was smooth really digging the taco tab kit easy to set your own alignment set it in the neutral up front and max caster rides pretty sweet now

 

I wanna know how you even calculate what to build a Portal Tacoma
glad the portals even exist and hopefully stick around by the time i win lottery

what I mean is, their IG had a post saying gear reduction on their portals turns a Jeep stock 4.10 into 5.00

so if a Tacoma owner had a strong axle with 4.88’s in it already
Then went to add portals, would it make their ratio too high?
Forcing them to go back tearing into the diff to regear it to some stock crap 3.73 ratio?

 

needs warfab tie rod sleeves

 

Painted the headlights, and installed projectors

 

Found caps for the quick connect air chucks.





And cleaned up the slop in the tailgate hinges.

 

Classic veteran "Good dog-dog" pic! Love it! Clint Eastwood Marine movie stuff: thanks for posting it!:

That "look" on his face: "Sir: Your Hunting, fishing, Sportsman's, driver's and any other license you have please: We're in Maine: I already know everything. Thank you for your co-operation."

(I have crazy Labs that are under two years old) Ya: HELP!

 

Got my TRD PRO dark headlights on, and my black tags put on today!

 

Had this:

It's not that bad to bake and disassemble/reassemble and bake back together?
I've wanted to do this, but haven't yet....

 

Nope. I did this multiple times to different cars. The worst part for me, was taking the headlight out or the truck…..and then adjusting the light output. (Higher, lower, side to side). But even that was not that hard.

baking them, I just do 225 degrees for like 5-6 min and that’s plenty enough.

 

Gentlemen,
I have to give a real review of this shift knob. After Toyota replaced my frame 3yrs ago my stick was out of line. I don't grind gears and I didn't @ that time, but it bothered me. So I purchased the URD short shifter and replaced the plastic thing over the shift ball in the tranny. It was so nice and crisp, I loved it ALL EXCEPT FOR REVERSE.....TALK ABOUT DIFFICULT. There is a complaint on TW about people breaking the inner ball on the bottom of the stick....THIS IS THE FIX.....REVERSE IS NOW LIKE BUTTER!

So my factory leather shift knob was almost completely worn through, so I was looking online for new shift knobs and I found the greatest shift knob for my URD sts. My reverse is smooth as silk and it is the correct weight to which the URD sts needed.

It is solid metal AND huge AND you can get different color alan head screws for effect as inlaid. The thing only is if you live in COLD temperatures.....it's cold to handle @ first.

They have them for auto and manual. Mine was $110, BUT COMPLETELY WORTH IT.

Helped my uncle with some work in his backyard, my other uncle also swung by to lend a hand. We were all parked on the street so I had to take a pic of our tacos in a nice single file line.

 

Hauled almost 800 pounds of lumber into the woods where I'm building my cabin...

 

Im partial to the red one of the three. It’s nice to have family that’s there for each other

 

I’m a little biased to that one and yes, the family that yotas together stays together

 

Wash rinse repeat

 

Cab mount chop and some more skid protection for LSTJ last weekend.

 

Black roof?? My guy

 

Hit it with bedliner after the clear coat and paint started chipping off really bad
