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

i did the fog lights on whenever you want mod. and i love it. it was so easy ill have to post pics on it

 

Yup gonna have to steal your rod holder idea, that's pretty slick

 

i really like the rod holder! i might have to do that one of these days except mount it on my tool box.

 

Just purchased the Hella Black Magic 500 from Autopicity for $100 at the door. Can't wait to put em behind my new grillcraft. I'll post the pics when it's all hooked up.

 

Hi all.

Finished the break-in today - 1600 km - 3 1/2 months.
- Varied the speed as much as possible.
- 10 to 300 km - 2000 rpm max and less than 1/4 throttle - gentle braking
- 300 to 800 km - 2200 and 1/4 throttle
- 800 to 1600 km - 2500 and 1/3 throttle
I can now check out the power and take cruise control trips.


Did the first service today - Will be considered the 6 month/8000 km Oil and Filter Service (I won't get anywhere near 8000 in 6 months so all my services will be done on the time parameter).
- Replace oil and filter - Mobil 1 and a Toyota filter (switched to full synthetic from the conventional that she came with from the factory - all subsequent changes will be Mobil 1)
- Pull and inspect air filter
- Lubricate latches and hinges (I use this spray lube from Toyota called Flexi-Film - works great)
- Check all lights, horn and wipers/washers
- Check fluids in engine bay - coolant, brake, power steering, and washer (I check these every week with the engine oil level anyway)
- Check tire pressures (times 5), tread depth (times 4), and lug nut torques (80 foot #'s)

The items listed above are from Toyota oil and filter service (except the tread depth and lug nut torque). I added these items below.

- Check oil levels in transfer case and both diffs
- Pull and clean crap out of cabin air filter
- Check for leaks from any and all sources in engine bay and underneath

I got 4 free oil changes at my dealer with the extended warranty but I can't bring myself to let anyone else put their fingers in her holes right now. I may have to let them do some of the items on the first maintenance service in 18 months though.

Cheers
Ray.

 

Bought a new set of silver FJ TRD wheels... wrapped them in 265/75 BFG All-Terrain's.

Pic is at halftime.

 

I love those tires. Gonna scrap some copper I got laying around and that will be enough for 1/2 the cost. I'll spring for the rest!!! You got me all jacked up now

 

took out the factory speakers and installed new Infinity Kappa speakers and Infinity reference tweeters. 6x9 's up front and 6.5" 's in the back. The 5 channel amp and 10" sub will follow later. Already a huge difference!

 

Pics or it didn't happen!

 

Homemade rack. There are pics in my gallery

 

Installed my k&n filter

 

Got my trail grapplers put on today and a alignment done, after leaving the parking lot I realized I had a serious rubbing issue so as soon as I got home I pulled the front wheels back off and did the cab mount chop. Still got a lil bit of trimming to do on the inner fender but the cab mount is clear

 

Got our taco 07.10.2012

Parents went to pay the whole thing off today 7.14.2012

That was fast O______O. We didn't even put a down payment,not a single penny,and they let us drive thetruck off the lot that Tuesday.

 

Ordered weathertech mats

Also changed my oil for first time at 1500 miles and it was BLACK. Surprised how fast that oil broke down during the break-in period.

 

Some douche stole my stock green nitro tire caps so I just bought these...

Added this Vinyl to the windshield. Not to sure if I like it or not. I know I am asking for a , but give me some feedback,please. Lol

 

You put it on well. I don't like other M in Tacoma, but it's not bad. You should put up a pic showing more of your truck to see how it goes with the rest of it.

 

Thanks. I will do that tomorrow.

 

Today was the two week mark of owning my tacoma, I have driven it 1027 miles in 14 days! I cant get out of it!!
