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

Changed out front/rear diff/transfer case fluid, lubed driveshaft, and finally got around to installing my SDHQ billet terminals.

 

Not a dam thing!!

 

Changed my oil with Kirkland 5w-30 synthetic, Toyota oil filter and got a sample for Blackstone. I’ll lube the driveshaft this week, it was humid as hell today, it felt like I was melting.

 

McNeil glass fenders to finally clear the 35's...

 

Spent the holiday weekend throwing on an OME MT64 suspenion lift, and changed front brakes while at it.

 

Looks good!

 

I like the flatbed. Who makes it?

 

Kirkland FTW!

 

Made that myself. Patterned off a South African companies design.

 

Thanks for the info. That is just crazy. I have never seen a vehicle lose so many studs. Glad you noticed it before disaster.

 

Did you by chance replace your front spindles along with the wheel bearings sometime past? I'm getting ready to do that to my Tacoma and was reading reviews on some of the different spindles and one of the more common complaints with some of them was the wheel studs breaking. Some owners even going so far as to replace the studs in the brand new spindles. Most of the companies (even some of the ones sold on here) are using dorman or other inexpensive Chinese spindles and swapping in good quality bearings. Glad you're ok.

 

Built out the interior a little of my Topo Topper. Its coming along.

 

No pics but I finally got around to completing the Locker Anytime Mod. It went smoothly and worked as described.

 

This was the rear axle and the hub and lugs are original to the truck.

 

The lug studs are part of the hub, not the spindle.

 

The new owners have reached out and have joined this forum.

All the best to them, may they make many enjoyable memories in the future days, weeks, and years.

 

Did some very tight parking lot crawling and almost got my skidplate high-centered on a high curb while maneuvt

 

Went on a little trail ride in the 4th but then lost my keys on Saturday in south Ga. Luckily it's on my brother in laws property. But this weekend I'll have to deal with getting that all fixed.

 

That is quite the curb... I wish I had curbs like that to play on.
