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

I had a victory 4x4 blitz bumper, but since I didn't have the crash bar, insurance required it to stay with the truck. I got the winch and lightbar out though, but no bumper

 

Clean looking truck!

 

Looks great. Custom work for custom problems.

 

Installed a roof rack today. So far I hear no noise from it going 65 on the interstate.

 

Further tour through Utah into Colorado. Drove to the Bentonite hills and got to do my first mild water crossing. Spent time in The Maze of Canyonlands. Also drove the Schafer trail to Moab with the sun setting (interesting experience when it gets dark) and checked out Black Canyon NP in CO amongst other things.

 

37’s or 40’s?

 

37s

 

those are some big 35’s

 

Oh she thicc!

 

Anyone able to point me to a thread about swapping to 4Runner brakes, ideally with PNs? Looking at upgrading my front brakes on the next brake job

 

think this was it... well the last one, i know there are others but cant remember what its called

Just bought a Gen 2 this past week! Can't wait for the mods!

 

Pro wheels yesterday, wanted to change up the look.

 

Little more done on the front bumper, including the linear actuator to adjust the aim of the spot beams on the fly.

Front and rear diff, transfer case and transmission fluid changes. Finally upgraded the front diff hardware to the Lexus plugs.

Need to order more retrofit parts to fix a headlight issue *again

Lowered my tire pressure a bit for winter, topped off washer fluid and power steering fluid.

 

Fluid film

 

resealed lower oil pan

to my surprise
1. dirty inside
2. some debris at pickup screen

surprising because I don't know where the debris came from
and my heads looked brand new when I pulled the valve covers

So I'm not sure if this is normal, or means I should up my OCI from 5k syn to something like 2.5k or 3k
which would not bother me as oil is cheap or free

 

Finished buttoning up the rear bumper yesterday. I still need to remount the flares but I need to repair a couple of the mounting points on the insides of both rears. Was planning on trimming both front and rear while they were off but think that might wait until spring. Also repainted the grill surround and emblem. Gave it a quick bath this morning.

 

You the original owner? Could do an engine flush. If you’re using synthetic 5k oil changes are perfectly fine.
