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

Got the new new put on today all ball joints replaced as well. No more (major) squeaks going down the road… still a bucket of wrenches but now there’s a few less rattling around.

 

Winch controls relocated. And water methanol kit, & gauges done.

 

The water/methanol setup looks sick! You wouldn't happen to have a write up would ya?

 

Just the basics: https://www.nitrousexpress.com/images/Sno201.pdf as just about each install is going to be different. This has some insightful info: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/methanol-4-0.554164/

 

Awesome. Thanks!

 

AC drip line done with my new gear tech splash guards

 

I thought the AC drip wasn’t an issue on 2nd gens, am I mistaken??

 

The drain still immediately exits over the cross member in a second gen. It's a problem

 

It's what I didn't do
Working with my friend and heard noise coming from taco
opened hood, at first thought it was a pully
Nope- I forgot to take out the plastic container from under the oil filter when i do changes
It was deformed and rubbing the belt
At least it was a easy fix
Im a dumb a$$

 

I've done that multiple times lol. Much better than the one time where I forgot the oil filter wrench sitting on top of the battery and a couple days later it fell off while driving and the fan launched it and took out my radiator.

 

That was one of the first items I installed when I brought the SR5-DLT (Dad's Last Truck) home. Add a 24" length of 5/8" heater hose slipped over the end of the AC drain tube (I bought 3' to be sure I'd have enough.). Secure the end of the extension with a hose clamp, just tight enough so it won't slip, and route it downward to drip the AC condensate on the ground, rather than the frame rail where it runs back under the cab. The end of my hose was cut off even with the bottom left corner of the added aluminum skid plate so it drips behind the front end.

 

damn! i made it 1/4 mile up the road and forgot id left a magnetic tray for hardware on my engine cover
and was thankful it didnt fall anywhere before i realized

 

Added the water bottle hack on both the passenger and driver side. Love it!

 

Shout out to 4X Innovation…and thanks to TacomaWorld for the referral…this damn thing would make an M1A1 proud I LOVE IT…now, to get it mounted!

 

I sure love mine.

 

Also love mine! I have the same one with swing out.

 

Detailed my ‘08 Tacoma base truck. It has over 433,000 and has original drivetrain. Still runs like a new truck.

 

What is this hack??

 

Lookin' good! My '08 is just a pup with 170K on it...

 

welded some pipe and added down exit to the exhaust this morning.


i’m 19 so i’m also looking for some input should i tack weld the exhaust to the rear axle where it hangs over if i experience vibration later on?
