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

Flush bed bars, HF case, amber chase light.

 

Getting both trucks ready for xfest. Pulled the wheels to detail them and the brakes, hit suspension grease fittings, touch up undercoating on frames, rotate tires, etc

 

All the trees blocking the wind probably helped with that kind of MPG

 

Fall wash & wax
Oil/Filter Change (205K miles)
Air Filters
Greased Drive Shafts
Tires rotated this week

 

Do They make Spring, Summer,Winter and Fall Wax ?

 

Picked up a grill off Facebook marketplace but it was a dark grey with a mesh insert. my painter at work paint matched fit for me fir the price of free. Put my grill in and slapped it on. Had to ditch the chrome. Picking up a xsp-x skid plate this weekend to put on

 

Pumpkin Spice

 

Day 2: This is my favorite upgrade since I got the OTT tune

Shifting is just so much smoother/tigher.

 

After 160K miles it was time to replace the rotors and today was the day. This was my first time tackling this particular task, but thanks to this wonderful community and a Kflo video on YouTube, I successfully replaced them with these bad boys from R1 Concepts. Obviously the black anti-rust coating rubs away almost immediately where the brake pads make contact, but man do they feel good!

As a side note, that fancy stack of wood blocks was my makeshift support for the brake caliper while I swapped hardware

 

hey buddy. There is an Ontario bs thread on here. Sotec is the group that organizes meets and trail runs in southern Ontario if you weren’t already aware of. The amount of salt Ontario uses in the winter is ridiculous. I am surprised Lake Ontario isn’t all salt water by now. Make sure you latter a very generous about of anti-seize on all the suspension bolts.

 

Awesome Ill check it out - oh you know I absolutely lathered them in anti seize after spending hours cutting out the old cam bolts and hammering out the old top hats

 

I ain’t your buddy pal

 

Cleaned out the truck and did the lil pool noodle trick to see if it lessened the noise, we’ll see!

 

Check out Gale Banks video on the Pedal Commander on you tube, he’s definitely not a fan.

 

They look awesome!

How are the Patagonia’s in terms of on-road driving so far? I don’t think there’s much debate that they’re great off road.

I’ve been debating them for my next set but I do alot of highway miles in between trails.

 

Please elaborate

 

So I've only put about 100 miles on them and I'm comparing them to a completely worn out set of Geolanders but so far the seem to be ok. Definitely not as loud as I thought they might be. Iys also not my daily driver. We'll see how this opinion holds up Ina few months.

 

Makes sense, yeah definitely still early on. Thanks for the feedback!

 

Finished getting most of the audio upgrade installed this weekend. I usednsome 1x3s to created a chase in each of the storage cubbies to run the wires. Pretty happy with how its turned out so far. Things left to do: finish wiring up front speakers, run rca cables which I forgot to order and won't be here for a few days, install a few more cable ties.
