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

After 7 years with the Optima Yellow Top it died. It registered dead but still turned over enough to get me to Advanced Auto.

I got a AGM Diehard Platinum. Man night and day starting difference. I wanted to plan out a different setup but it was time.

 

Wicked looking taco!
Is that Jeep next to you bro leaning on the Jeep next to it? Looks like maybe on its tire, there’s no way in hell I would allow someone to do that on my truck.

 

The real trophy winner is the wrecker service that got to tow all those Jeeps back home.

 

Can anyone help, 2011 tacoma 189,000 miles, when I turn truck on, the engine sounds great and hesitation but when I drive it stalls. hope to hear from someone. Thanks

 

Did the nuclear winter mod to avoid this heat wave…

 

Somthing funky goin on w this, mines done that as well at -999

Only at home tho - one town over it goes back to normal.... get home and its apparently colder than a polar bears nutsack agains

 

Feeling a little reminiscent of my old helix. So I added a tribute to it on my newest taco.

I think I made a good decision! Lol

 

Thanks!

Yeah lol it was a husband and wife. She did pretty good climbing up it without riding up on the fender. There were 3 other wranglers doing the same thing. Kind of cringe considering they all still had thier swaybars on and connected.

 

Best battery for the money. I had the old one autocraft platinum before they rebranded to die hard. Lasted 4 years but i have super high demands on battery so i was impressed. Changed out to the diehard. Been great so far. Been about 6 months.

 

Thank you I really appreciate hearing that. I winched a lot with the Optima and had a bunch of auxiliary stuff. My wedge camper will be ready next week and I have solar and a 100ah battery ready to roll so this new battery should get less abuse.

I am blown away by the starting power of the platinum. Lightning fast.

 

”There were 3 other wranglers doing the same thing.”

Hit 60k miles! Also my truck's 10 year anniversary month. Bought the truck new in July of 2013, so I've averaged right at 6k miles per year.

 

5.3L swapped 64 Rambler classic

 

discovered future mod possibility

shell rack with ability to slide over and drop down temporarily for access

 

Now that is what we once called a sleeper kids!
Well done sir!

 

New Wedge Camper coming in hot!

 

I like it!

 

I just noticed your exhaust setup, that is bitchin to the max, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Tacoma with hot-rod style exhaust, how does it sound, and can you post a more direct shot of it please, thanks.

 

Oooooh!! I like!!!
