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

Ordered thanks for the link

 

I bought mine for around $220 shipped from Hendrick Toyota of Apex NC. On Black Friday they had parts and shipping discounts. May have something similar for this holiday. This was for my 2008 and fits 2005 to 2011 trucks. The grille is a 2011 with the honeycomb insert. P/N 5310004450J0. The J0 represents my color (speedway blue). Here is the email to get the correct part number for your color: matthew.hales@hendrickauto.com

 

Installed a winch. Currently awaiting some new battery terminals before I can hook it up.

 

Installed slotted rotors and new pads. The shake is gone!

 

Changed original spark plugs at 150,658

 

I need to change my plugs for the 3rd time this summer. I’m at 130,000 right now.

 

Looks like you broke Amazon

 

Was able to snag one of these. Installed today. Something I’ve wanted for a while but never wanted to pay the higher price. This was the ticket!

 

Thanks guys! Super helpful, much appreciated!

 

let us know if they work? Im interested. thanks

 

Lol oh man. I'm glad you guys got em. It's a great update for the truck.

 

Fabricated some mounts for an axe and shovel

 

Mine will be here Friday, thanks again for finding it

Finally got around to aiming the replacement headlights. Don't drive much at night, go to bed early, but aiming the headlights IS NECESSARY!

 

I finally got around to replacing my idler & tensioner pulleys today, along with installing a new serpentine belt. Man what a difference in motor noise reduction & steering response!

 

Did the tailgate assist mod on Saturday. A little more difficult than I thought it would be and cutting into some sheet metal but overall it got done and works great.

 

Installed OEM carpet trim on the back panel of my regular cab Tacoma today along with some other related new OEM parts for this specific task. There was a metal hook in the middle (was part of the middle passenger seat belt setup) that interfered with the carpet panel but I managed to cut a nice clean hole like the OEM one on the far passenger side. I just didn't feel like drilling the spot welds out and repainting.

This is one of the many steps of my ongoing bench to bucket conversion.

Bench seat regular cab Tacomas don't have anything back there from the factory (at least mine didn't) so it is just exposed metal panel. I am still waiting on a lot of new OEM parts for the new manual transmission console (couldn't find any used).

 

Nice job. What year is your truck? My rc is a 14 and has black carpet.

 

I got one, thanks @2013XSPX !
