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

Diff gets hot, drive into cold water, water chills diff, air inside of diff contracts and pulls muddy water inside.

Exactly why the diff breather:
A) Needs to be located to above the point that any water may find it's way to it. On the top of the diff is the 2nd worst place to put the breather.
On the bottom of the diff is the worst place to put it.
B) Needs to be clear and able to work. If the breather is blocked, then the pressure changes will blow oil out of the seals, and pull water in through the seals.

 

That's the one! Takes a bit to ship cuz it's from china took about 10-15 days

 

Cleaned out the truck, I did notice today that under the seat, all the rails are rusted on the drivers side horribly any ideas as to why? Never been wet under there?

 

Mine has been wet and its not that bad.

 

The proof

 

Went wheeling in the trooper today (locked 2wd POWER)!


Then washed all the dirt off it so it wont cake in

 

4wd actuator was half full of water, diff was clean. I don't think I was in over the breather for the ADD actuator.

 

This weekend was my first since I was away for military purposes. I had a few things lined up such as:

Homertaco's Raptor Style satoshi;
20" Cree LED light bar;
4x4 Switch Illumination mod;
Wash & Wax with the Turtle Wax Black Box Kit; and
Quick photoshoot .

 

Ass sweat....

 

I like it haha

 

That's what she said!

 

with only 12.000 miles on it, there has not been much of that.

 

OH HELL NO. BRAND NEW.

 

Thats exactly how i want my front end, But i want an All pro apex from bumper in black then go up the hood over the roof and into the tailgate with gloss black paint and then have a relentless HC bumper Perfect match

 

My'12 started doing that after 6 months, including the jack. No water or salt.

 

My bumper is stock right now. Curently my plate bumper is getting fab'd.

Great plan bro. I can't wait to see it!

 

A lot of things has been done on my Taco this weekend, A LOT more then I have done at any point thus far..

-Black Headlight Mod
-Trailer 7 wire connector relocate
-Mud flap trim for the fronts (took about 5 inches off of both sides )
-Second filter removal (butt dyno indicates the truck is much peppier and breathing happier now)
-Currently in the process of installing my Relentless Fab T-Case skid, am working on trying to get it in, but it is a super tight fit and the front bolts are not lining up with the holes, so I had to put it off until I can try and get a solution for tomorrow.
-Bought a spidy webb gear net for my camping trip coming up this weekend
-Picked up 4 more bed rail cleats for the net ^^

 

Took some pics.

 

Looking good, I like the single cab in a stance like that...now if only they made a step side...
