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

Nice!! Finally got some, lucky!

 

Did my 30k tune-up today:

- Cleaned the AFE intake
- New spark plugs
- Oil Change/Filter
- Rotated the tires, re-torqued everything
- Cleaned the brake pads/rotors
- Cleaned the sh*t out of intake tube, MAF, throttle body
- Greased all zerk fittings
- Cleaned the cabin filter
- Measured out my mid-skid to be built tomorrow

My spark plugs definitely needed replacing, and the whole intake/throttle body was long overdue for a cleaning. Judging by the condition of the plugs, and the deposits in my throttle body, my engine is running a little too rich (combination of my lead foot, CAI, and 3" cat-back???). I might talk to Gadget about a MAF calibrator to remedy it.

Tomorrow I'm gonna finish making my second skid (transmission skid) and help Chickenmunga with his FamousFab shackle flip. Should be another productive day

 

Smittybuilt D-Ring Shackle

 

Dropped her off at a shop to have the new high clearance rear bumper with swing away and skids installed/finish being fabbed up. Hope to have her back tomorrow night. So excited.

 

repainted my sliders with bedliner today. No more slipping when its muddy.

 

No more "sliding" either though...

 

They were PC originally, I just sprayed the tops of them to rough them up a bit. Didn't have to worry about overspray too much, and the bottoms are still only PC'd, so I think I'm good. Plus, it is only one coat, rocks don't really care what you spray your sliders with when the weight of the truck is on them.

 

I think Doording is referring more to the paper protection on your truck. I also would have put more paper up higher.
Looks great tho. I would also prefer bedliner to powder coat

 

I know what he meant. Since I was only spraying where I step I didn't have to worry about the over spray getting any higher then that. Yeah PC'ing them was nice for a good base coat, but I kept slipping on the fuggers, so bedliner it was. Probably put on a second coat tomorrow.

 

Yeah, I would have done the same if I was only spraying straight down.

 

Had my new rear shocks delivered… Now just waiting on my Allpro u-bolt flip kip to arrive toinstall my new rear suspension set up(back order sucks!)

 

I'm not worried, that's why i didn't cover her up too much. Def not able to unbolt them to paint em.... damn solder joints.

I tried out the grip tape as well, and found that it doesn't really hold up much better. For me, it just ended up ripping and tearing and turning into a bigger mess. If the bedliner doesn't work out for me I'm going to end up spraying some old school rubber/oil undercarriage shat on em. Tar on steroids.

 

Finally had time to install my wheels and tires

 

Took three lovely girls to visit a friend off the grid and black sand beaches with scary cliff faces.
