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

Not to bad frame still looks really good

 

And, no vice or bracing except for his other hand. "Hats off" to your dad and you. You, for standing back and watching.

 

Ya that probably would have helped

 

Did you use the template kit from C4 or did you just eyeball the trim line?

 

Properly charged my AC

 

Not today but this past weekend.

Replaced calipers, rotors, and pads on my ‘06. They hadn’t been done in a looooong time, and had been pretty terrible as far as brakes go. Turns out only 1 of 4 pads was making correct contact with the rotor.

Drivers side outer pad was doing its job, inner pad was contacting the rotor at an angle because one piston was seized. Passenger side outer was kinda doing its job but the inner was not. And both those pads had significantly less wear than the drivers side.

Much better now

 

I swear if you drive on salted roads at any time during the year...you will have to replace your calipers every pad change (if you drive a manual transmission and downshift) every other for automatics...

I finally bought a can of this stuff and started using it. So far so good. I repainted the storage/cubby lids or whatever you call them. I’m wondering if I could just repaint the bed if the truck with it…

 

Went from a mesh grill to the pro grill. Now I just need to wash all the dang bug guts off this thing.

 

Turned 150,000 today!

 

Second third brake light install on the LEER cab high XR100.
Couldn't be easy, ended up trouble shooting back to ........................ you might have guessed it, Scotchloks in the drivers side tail light. Teach me to take the lazy man's route! Note to self!

 

DIY kit or take it somewhere?

 

Wired up my third brake light after way too long of owning my shell!

 

bought new Tacoma floor mats !! super swank!!!

 

Yesterday, cleaned the throttle body, today was the coolant flush with the help of a shop vac. Cleaned up and gave the garage floor a good scrubbing and then hosed down. Can't have my fur baby getting into any of that radiator fluid, even if there was just a little spilled, I don't want to take a chance. Here is a pic of the throttle body.

 

Went and emptied out brother in laws Nissan after FedEx hit him

 

Hope he is OK.

 

Beat to shit but so far no broken bones

 

Got my truck back from having the hood and roof PPF’d. I’d take a picture but it honestly just looks like shiny paint. They did a great job and now I don’t have to wax those areas for 12 years (warranty period)

 

Did it at work. I’m an automotive technician.
