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

got a link? Was looking at getting one, but didnt see one for the tacoma.

 

In a heated garage at my father-in-laws:

-Changed the oil
-Emptied my Catch Can
-Installed my In-Channel Cent Visors
-Installed the switch for my bed LEDs, still waiting for the LEDs, but the switch has power
-Installed new Brake Lights
-Installed new LED turn signals and relocated their resitors
-Installed AALs to bring my truck leafs up to TSB standards
-Routed a bunch of wires
-Cleaned my rear shocks, since they were off during the AAL process
-Fixed the lower mesh in my lower front bumper

-Finishing it off with a beer on the couch.

Installed LT275/70/17 Hankook ATm's

 

Installed OEM D-rings and cut bed mat to fit. Then painted the badges and front emblem.

 

Back in the old days there were many different brands and models. Some even looked like a old first car type phone with a home handset and a cradle to hold it. Back then the channel limit was 23 and that got raised to 40 over time. So if you run across a 23 channel one that is an older model but still good if it works. There are some models that have Single Side Band capability. Only a like one can hear each other and talk to each other. It is used to gain a little distance and privacy.

The newer models are all about state of the art so it really doesn't matter which one you get, just a personal preference in features and shapes and styles. Think about power requirements and have the hook ups necessary for more than one source of power if possible. A whip antenna is the best for a vehicle CB antenna but that can be a little long and noticeable. I keep an older magnetic short whip in the tool box ready if needed. HTHS

 

Installed Toytec 1.5 AAL for TSB pack and long version 5100's. Pics will be in Suspension thread tomorrow. Measured before 38 from ground to fender, 40 after.

I have 5100s for front also, but my 885s and trim packer wont be here til next week.

 

Thanks. Good info.

what sticker is that

 

Crank Brothers

 

Did an oil change on my sons truck....



Showed him what the good stuff was....Valvoline synthetic FTW!!

 

Test fit my new wheels. 16x8 Moto Metal 951. Only have 2 at the moment, got a deal on them I couldn't pass up. Anyone have 2 they want to sell cheap?

 

Gave it a much needed bath, especially the wheels which are a total pain in the rear to clean.

 

You should test drive now, just to be sure it rides ok.

 

got mustard on my seat eating a hotdog at the Sonic drive thru

 

Took it to the spray-wand car wash because my hose was frozen. Doesn't get it as clean as a hand wash but blasts off the dirt and salt, and doesn't scratch it up like a drive-through brush wash.
