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

You'll love these tires. I'm going back down to 33's when these wear out. A little less weight is always better.

 

Its been awhile since last check in.. Mrs got me a truxedo cover for Christmas! Bought BFs A/T KO's for winter tires, and today my Method NVs arrived with Cooper HTPs wish I got ATs but lots of driving planned this summer..

 

1/2 inch lag bolts. I added some rubber hose washers for some cushion.

 

Finally got my new wheels and tires on from Discount Tire.

 

And TRD Catback exhaust, no pic.

And the 2.8" URD pulley of course.

 

About the exact numbers I have at idle....same setup as well...

 

I like that setup...really nice

 

Installed Feneix Titan-X 5 led bars in the ARB tonight.

Finally got around to some much needed PMs.

Rear diff/front diff/transfer case lube changed
Trans fluid drain/fill
New Plugs
New air filter / cabin air
New wiper blades
Tailgate theft prevention hose clamp
Rotated tires (had a slapper on the rear right)
Painted where the weld on sliders heated up frame and started to rust
Cussed at myself for not getting the sliders powder coated from BAMF

 

TaKo, your truck looks great!

 

Oil change, couldn't decide one which to choose between valvoline or kendall but went with valvoline, which one is better?


Balanced tires, took lots of weights to get them balanced


Changed drum pads

old


new

 

Got around to finally designing a fishing pole holder. It utilizes the bed rail track in our trucks. Its adjustable. And its easily removable.






I need to get shorter hardware and paint everything still. Eventually, I need to get 2 more bed cleats to use for the final design.

 

bought some purple fluids for the diffs. Anyone with experience with royal purple? I usually go with the cheaper synthetic stuff at autozone.

 

Nice setup. I made one for surf/bank fishing a while back. I used pvc and 2x8s. The whole thing only cost about 15$ and worked like a charm. it mounts in the front of the bed and the pvc is at a 45degree angle so the bed is still free for gear. I need to get a pic of it on here.

 

Not recommended in diffs. I'm using Lucas Dino oil per ECGS.

 

Both are excellent choices. I prefer Valvoline but that is personal preference.

 

I see that you don't believe in PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE.

I hope you at least had those drums turned or replaced them.

 

Solid! I might steal your design!

 

I've used royal purple for years and sold it wholesale to hundreds of performance shops and auto parts stores. Even had a customer that would order 50 55 gallon drums at a time. Never a single problem. Not like there is really that much difference between brands. They are all tested to make sure they meet standards.

 

Thanks! I'll try to get some better not so grainy iphone night pictures if I remember to charge my camera.

I can post dimensions and more details after work as well.
