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

Replaced all the small bulbs in the dash (fog lamp switch, hazard switch, etc.) with LED's. Did not do the PRNDL bulb.

Partially took apart the fuse box to see what thread the screw was that holds the large fuses (120A, 100A). It's 6x1.0 and about 10mm long.

 

Is the 3D printed part still held with double sided tape?

 

When you’re distracted by women and motorcycles…

 

Yikes

 

Yes, I just got one and it’s pretty nice

 

I was thinking about getting a ScanGauge II and mounting it in front of the shifter.

 

What parts did you use? OEM?

 

This Power Stop Evolution z23 kit https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/power+stop,K137,rotor+&+brake+pad+kit,13824



The rotors are directional with more holes and trenches for some reason. Gonna do rear brakes next and then replace the brake fluid.

Highly recommend a M8x1.25 hex bolt for removing fused rotors btw.

 

Just helped my buddy swap the front pads/rotors on his Tundra, looked the same.

 

Tore a CV Axle Boot.....again
In all fairness I'm pretty sure I tore it last weekend, but only identified it today. I already have a rebuilt spare, so I'll have to swap them out and rebuild this one.

 

Added my Hooke Road roof rack today.I'll be adding red/amber clearance lights front and back. Amber/white wig/wags front, rear and sides. Led lights on te rear to light up the trailer area when I need them.

 

JD fab bed boxes. Still need to add the covers but want to install everything inside them 1st...

 

Added some amber lights to the grill.

 

did this, DAMMIT and cant get it out. what can I do? Its the drain plug for the transfer case.

 

Weld a nut on there to get the old one out, then upgrade to a Lexus one like found here

Bummer man. I did that too. After laying under the truck and swearing a bunch, I vacuumed the oil oil out through the filler hole so I could finish the job. Probably not the best solution, but everything maintenance wise I've done on my truck has yielded fairly clean fluid so I figured I'd deal with the drain plug in another few years during the next oil change.

 

Mine looked similar to this. First, I ordered the replacement with the external hex Lexus/Toyota 90341-24016. (ebay $12)
I used this kit 18" breaker bar and some heat from a torch. Good luck.

 

Got mine out with a bit that is still stuck in the old plug.. Hammered it in and got it out.. Get the Lexus one!!

 

Cross brace installed

 

Finally tested out my reflectix window blinds and "camped" in my truck this weekend. Definitely want a better sleeping pad, and changing in the back still sucks with my standard height canopy, but saved a ton of money by not staying in a hotel
