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

It may be the seal against the windshield on the cowl. There are plastic clips that the hold the seal against the windshield and they become very brittle with time and I think when you remove the cowl they often break. I recently removed mine and noticed that the clips that are the most brittle and likely to break are right above the area where air passes in for the cabin air and filter. I bet water is coming right into the cowl from your windshield.

 

Ahh didn't think about that. I have the appointment made and the gentleman says he can pressure test it... I'm interested in seeing what that entails.
Thanks for the info.

 

I was doing a cowl intake mod and I went to put my cowl back on it would not seal properly. I poured some water on the windshield and it was leaking through. I got it all fixed but check the seal on the passenger side of the windshield. If there is a big gap it might be coming in there right into this. Good luck.

 

There are shields for this.

Supposedly the metal around the base of the plenum can develop small cracks as well.

 

Gave it a bath. Plus I installed a pretty badass emblem, made out of aluminum and painted.

 

I hadn't heard about the cracks but interesting.
This is how mine looks after installing parts from @dpele

 

how'd you install the side vents?

by any chance did you simply skip the instructions and drive those screws in by hand

or does it really take going to find the drill, center punch, right angle adapter, etc...

 

Yes I got a 90° drill bit attachment from Home Depot. I don't think I could have done it without it

 

That mod is on my list after I get the truck tuned.

 

Locker installed, lines ran, and air tank mounted just need a check valve and I can wrap this up.

 

I bent the shit out of my skid plate and broke my exhaust

 

Nope that's what I get for using my e-break as a locker . All good though got the 3ed member put back in today with a actual locker, and all the lines and power ran today

 

LETS GOOOOO

 

Grille upgrade along with the previous headlight update. Also, was able to sort the rando wire in the passenger lamp.

Were you able to fix it or did you get it replaced?

 

I broke through some ice and was stuck at 4am, not very fun
