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

I have these and the intake manifold spacer. I noticed no difference in city driving

but when I go to the mountains, I do notice that the truck stays on top gear more. Doesn’t downshift as often…..

but just regular driving, didn’t notice anything.

 

I went through pretty much the same thing.... had first ordered the tsb versions (part #'s ending in 04210... but even though they advertised (Daytona Toyota) that they had these what you receive is one side tsb part# and the other side old part#. Being that between the two the dtrl's had different lenses i sent them back. Ended up getting (i assume) the post tsb versions (old part #'s but with clear dtrl lens... not the faded yellow.)

 

I couldn’t tell a difference…

 

Not rlly a mod or anything


I had like a dozen tie downs in my truck since last yr all tangled, decide to fix that (oh boy that was stressful) and had these buckets which I tied so if I wanna put something inside I can jus do it wt out having to worry about it being all across my bed. Also tied a Jerry can cuz why not

 

Looks like Douglas Creek

 

Drove it to the other side of the state fully loaded with a trailer in tow to move my oldest to Physical Therapy school. No pics though.

 

Redid the PPF on the bed sides and flares.

 

Finally got around to installing my lift. Bilstein 6112’s set at 1.8” in the front and Bilstein 5160’s with Deaver stage 3’s for the rear.
Still running 245/75/r16 for now till they wear out.

 

Got my truck back from the shop while on vacation. Alternator replaced, new alternator belt, new O2 sensor...runs like a champ. Had it inspected. CEL light finally cleared.

 

Sure was!

 

I'm about to do the same thing to mine.

 

Anyone have a good recommendation for a place to buy TPMS sensors (OEM) for a good price? Best i've found is ToyotaPartsDeal.com for $67/each.

 

Not OEM, but these linked up to my truck with no issues

Finally wrapped and reinstalled the oh shit handles

 

I have been using ROADFAR brand from Amazon. Get 4 for under $60. Have them in my 2008 (4+spare) and 2012 Tacoma (4). Different model numbers in each truck. No issues after over 2 years. FYI newer 4runner (2016+) TPMS work in 2012+ Tacoma.

 

Done. Very happy how it turned out. Been putting it off for way too long.

 

Swapped my very crusty 2nd gen off-road wheels for 3rd gens today.

 

I like it!!

 

Pickup up a set of total chaos bed stiffeners from a guy locally. Didn’t realize they were for a 3rd gen looks like nothing a cut off wheel and drill bit won’t fix. Price was right.

 

This is what i did this weekend
Before and after!!
