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

sweettt nice brand choice for the sub woofer dude

 

People like you suck. You should be considerate of the ones working on your vehicle. Would you want to work on a crusty truck?

Completed my 30K Mile Service today. The stealership wanted just over $500 for the job, so I said screw that and just did it myself. After buying all the parts and renting a lift for 2 hours, I only paid $136.12. Here is what all I did today:

Changed reaf diff oil
Changed engine oil and filter
Changed spark plugs
Rotated tires
Complete lube job
Checked torque on prop shaft
Changed air filter
Changed cabin air filter

 

Damn... 500? At least you can do it all yourself. I'd probably take it to a Jiffylube or Midas haha

 

Made sway bar links out of 100% stainless steel purchased hardware (no custom fab).

EDIT: These rod ends are too small. Will need larger rod ends with 1/2" bore and 3/4" shank. Eventually I found heavy duty ball joint links: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/pr...eza-heavy-duty-greaseable-sway-bar-links.html

 

Sweet! I didn't even know people could rent lifts 0.o

 

Where did you rent a lift?

And where did you buy those joints?

 

Looks great! Write up and parts list?

 

Most military bases have auto hobby shops. For a few bucks you can rent a lift and they have all of the tools you need.

 

very nice work! I put my sub here. easy to get to, no heating issues, and out of sight for the most part

 

I have the same sub set up but my amp is underneath my driver seat... it works out very well no overheating

 

Nope. Even with the end links completely removed, the sway bar will hit the CV boots at full flex. For trails where the articulation is needed, I would remove the sway bar completely (and mud flaps).

A proper swaybar disconnect would probably need some kind of splined slip joint (similar in principle to a manual locking hub) near one of the support clamps.

They are Aurora P/N CM-8ET ordered from my local Motion Industries store.
EDIT: CM-8ET is too small. The bore is the correct size. However, there isn't enough misalignment capacity for the full steering range. And Motion Industries customer service is horrible. Will be avoiding this distributor in the future.

I'll get them installed this weekend. Once I confirm everything fits, I'll create a thread for it.

 

painted my badges and ,moved them around a little today

 

Hauled my wife's birthday present home. Her b-day is tomorrow. A Trek Shift 3 bicycle. (It's what she wanted)
