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

Amazon - Universal AM/FM Antenna it was $6 w/ shipping haha. $1.52 without shipping. It's a sticker, when I said cordless, I meant no metal rod. Wire inputs to stock receiver and the sticker can be placed anywhere inside or outside the car. I stuck it right up under the dash where stock receiver slides back into place and just tucked the wire behind where you can't see it.

I had to cut my antenna cord when installing fenders. Removing cord was easy if you remove glove box as shown in pick.

Totally worth it guys if your sick of antenna shwapphing on garage or in parking structure.

 

Not hard, it's a lot easier than it looks. Simple hand tools suffice. Give yourself ample time about 1 hour per side if you've never done it before. I asked for advice in this thread before I went to work. And as Rich noted below, you make match marks with a sharpie to record the alignment before you unbolt anything, so upon reassembly you put it back exactly the way it was before.

Precisely!

 

Installed my weathertechs! Thanks medicth!

Then took the pooch and did some off "pavement" roading. Really nice day in the ADK's!! Need some snow ASAP!

 

Damn , where's all the rust ?

 

Inside the bushing which not pictured in this thread.

 

Added to my to-do before winter list!

 

I was being sarcastic ( and a little jealous ) , mine was seized after one year up here , with big globs of rust mud coming out when I tried to free up the bolts

 

That is very unfortunate. I feel really bad for my Tacoma Brothers up North--I really do. Toyota should lube these things up from the factory and make them serviceable like the moog bolts that are now for sale...

 

Thanks, he's such a poser! Lol

 

When they aligned my truck after my lift mine were seized after 20k with one winter. I think I'll have one more alignment done in a week after everything settles and I take my rear blocks out and I'll ask to have this done.

 

2 of mine are still seized , we were only able to get the alignment right because of the adjustment in the LR UCA's

 

This is the reason I got mine, plus the OME lift. I'll be replacing with moog bolts and I'll try the white line bushings.

 

Anyone have the part numbers on the Moog bolts?

 

Finished up my console vault today. I'm not the best welder and don't have the best equipment but I was able to make do and crank this out. Fits like a glove and serves its intended purpose!

 

Not as cool as ^, but I have done alot today to my new truck. Got the toolbox installed, put in my weathertechs, took out my charcoal filter and OEM Air Filter and installed K&N Filter. I got about 1mph out of the Magnaflow exhaust, hoping for more with the charcoal gone + K&N....time will tell

 

Yeah, I meant I had one alignment already almost two weeks ago. I'm taking my block out on Thursday and I'll probably get my alignment done sometime early the following week. Should be ok by then you think?

 

Judging from this pic I think it is this one, but I can't find pics other than the one I am posting...

Found it on Rockauto.com for less money, but I don't know if they are sold individually or what...

 

Read XXXX thread first. The rear bolts don't work.

Today I undercoated my truck with Fluid Film. Just in time for winter to set in!

 

Any advise on the fluid film application ? I have been wanting to do that too.
