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

Do pine cones also count? My kids collect pine cones and rocks for me, they just go for rides in the truck now.

 

First time doing brakes today! A lot easier than expected

 

Oh and the extra 10mm

 

What process did you follow?

 

I've got a 10mm tagging along everywhere I go as well, mine just sits in the engine bay and hides when I come around.

 

Installed new rear bumper by BAMF. I beat the hell out of the stock bumper to the point where there is not much left.

 

Yes I am considering it - I would be offering these in PETG to help withstand the temps inside our trucks. After running the numbers, these would be $65 shipped. Let me know if you would like to purchase one and what color, and we can go from there. Thanks!

 

I don't have one of those handy to take measurements unfortunately...

 

I usually go to this guys videos https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6EWGPDNhcV8&pp=ygUddGFjb21hIGJyYWtlcyBhbmQgcm90b3JzIGtmbG8=

 

Been looking to buy a Prinsu rack or something similar, but found someone local selling OEM racks for $50 and couldn't pass that up. I always liked the OEM rack look and supposedly there's hardly any wind noise when they're folded.
These were a bit sun-faded so I repainted with Herculiner before throwing them on.

 

Normal maintenance today- replaced the spark plugs and PCV, cleaned the MAF and throttle body, and took out the factory intake. Putting in the Pele Prints cowl intake kit tomorrow.

 

Unfortunately I had to say goodbye to her last week. Over 10 years and 283,000 miles, never let me down. Grateful to walk away. Says a lot about Toyota and an 18 year old truck

 

Holy shit. Glad you're OK. Trucks can be replaced, people can't.

 

Just glad you're alright.

 

Damn man, sorry about your truck but glad you’re still around to post about it

 

Got bored, did a bad spray paint job on some interior parts. The satin black I got doesn't match the other pieces very well, but oh well. Prepped them better than I have anything else and they turned out cheap looking. But, from a distance it looks okay.

Thinking about buying some SS5s for my ditch lights (replacing 2 sets of ss3s when I get a job again)

Sigh

 

The seats are in! I still need to get the passenger airbag working. I'm so in love with them. It feels like a whole new truck.

The seat sits higher than the OEM seats, but that's on account of the bracket I used.

 

Where are you located?

 

SE PA/ near Philly

 

Installed a new IM steer shaft to rid the clunk demons. Did a tiny bit but still present.

Got back in the garage today and followed this fellas approach... bam. Done deal. She's butter smooth now. Feel like im driving a new truck now




Had a buddy push down on a screwdriver to shove the shaft down a bit w the bolt loose (from OP diagram photo) re-tightend and that's all she wrote



Lot less shaft sticking up through now = bye bye ckunk/rattle
