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

New Cooper Road and Trail tires, and greased the driveshaft, including the 5th zerk.

The tires feel really good on the road so far today, quiet and giving good braking and turning even with 800lbs. of stone in the back. No off-road yet.

 

Nice cool morning to tackle the intermediate steer shaft woes. Zip ties only made mine worse. Got on toyota parts with a little sale they had goin which turned almost 300 into just over 250









Lotta hair around the old one inside. Looked like a chewbacca hairball

 

Are you satisfied with the Dr. Colorchip touchup? First time user or experienced user? I am looking to try it my '13 silver streak mica paint.

 

Powerstop pads and rotors on the DD. Unfortunately 3 of the 8 piston boots are cracked and I looked at another one wrong and it's now torn. Guess I'll be doing new calipers next weekend.
On a side note, I bought one of these little foam pads off of Amazon to give my old man knees a break from the blacktop. Worth every penny.

 

It worked well and matched perfectly. Especially on small dings like rock chips. I had a bigger area, about 2"X3" as well, and that was difficult. Used rust remover, boeshield rust free, then Dr. ColorChip. Due to how runny it is, it was hard to spread and match the contour of the large spot without wiping the high spot off. Rest worked great

 

Bought this a few weeks back for $200…





Today I finally put it on my truck!



Pretty happy with it for under $400!

 

Helluva deal

 

Finally wired up my front/rear anytime camera.



Drove home and backed the truck in. Rear camera was acting funny. Quick diagnosis lead to finding wires at the switching relay damaged from me reinstalling the lower dash panel.
Ordered a new switching relay and I believe I found a better mounting spot for the relay.

 

Tell me more about that gli you have. I've owned 3 mk4 gli. Now im itching to find another one. Preferably a 24v vr6.

 

Installed a front recovery hook.

 

More like what I did this week. Gave her a little more zip.

 

A little surface rust grinding and conversion repair on the right apron. Toyota already put a new frame under it but I’d like to keep the body in the best shape realistically possible





hot air intake reinstalled for now!


Had a funky noise coming from the front end lifted the truck and saw the drivers front tire drop slightly, made quick work of replacing the wheel bearing

Added sound deadening to the wheel liners and wheel well cavity’s



4 wheeling snow day from January

 

Wife and kids got me this.

 

Replaced the “JBL premium sound system”

 

my old 24v 6 speed gti, full black burberry interior and oem leather swapped in. dropped on coils, RH german wheels, staggered and hand polished, magnaflow exhaust. called indigo blue, now i have a blue ribbon metallic tacoma...the color isnt for everyone but hope i can make it work like the gti

 

Very nice.
Miss my 04 24v vr6 6 speed. dropped on tien coilovers full awe exhaust. I regret trading it in for my tacoma. Should of kept it and just bought the tacoma. It only had 68k mi on it in 2012 when I bought the tacoma.


Ive been hunting down another one or a gti.

 

nice, with the monte carlos 17s

i liked mine and it was solid for years...id only buy a vr6 or 3.2, i trust those

 

I have rust in that same spot i need to attend to. As soon as good weather breaks!

 

Yea I loved the stock wheels it came with. I also had a 99 Wolfsburg 1.8t it was quicker than the vr6 but I actually liked the vr6 better.
