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

thanks
i think it turned out goo too
better than i thought it would

 

Relocated the rear diff breather into the gas filler:



I found 1/4" fuel line impossible to slide onto the new breather fitting and breather plug, so I decided to upgrade this mod TACOMA TOUGH by going with 3/8 ID 5/8 OD high pressure hose. It's about $1.20 a foot, but worth it for my baby. It'll take something truly gnarly to kink or cut this stuff. Coming off the back of the gas filler:



And onto the diff itself. I kind of like the color. It matches my shocks...right now. Maybe I'll have to go with an OME suspension lift so I can stay color coded

 

Got my rims powder coated black and a set of BF Goodrich All-Terrain KO's mounted.

 

YAY, finally complete, maybe sounds later when i have enough green... got the suspension done along with the wheels! cheehee

 

Washed the mud from Rausch Creek Off Road Park off of it. There is still a bit left underneath.

 

Deck Plate Mod
Spark Plugs
Fuel Filter

And all with the help of Chris4x4. He suggested the Deck Plate Mod which is just insanely ingenious and cheap! Pretty much all you do is cut a hole in the front of the Air box which brings cold air right from the grill, and becomes less of a restrictor as far as Air Flow is concerned. The Intake sounds more aggressive too when you really crank it! And when you feel like playing in the Mud, Dust or Water, you just screw a cap over the hole that you cut which is COMPLETELY sealed allowing you to use Toyota's already installed snorkel (Did you know that your truck came with a snorkel? I didnt!)

And the Deck Plate Mod cost less then $20 with everything said and done! Whats really neat is for those of you who are afraid to start modding your truck, you can easily bring it back to stock if you prefer not to have the increased air flow and beefier sound, just by putting the cap back on.

Pretty much all you need to do it is a 4" deck plate (which can be purchased from a boat store) and some sealant (I recommend the "Sensor-Safe" kind so the fumes wont mess with your Mass Airflow Sensor

Thats where the write up is. But it definitely sounds cooler and allows more airflow which certainly provides increased acceleration.



You can see my dirty K&N Filter which I need to get rid of and just go OEM as Ive been told they catch the much finer particles of dust that are abundant where I am.

Also attached some pics of the old plugs and the new filter (unsure why though)

 

looks badass dude!!

 

does spooning with attractive female in the bed (Supertop FTW!) count as something i did to my taco today?

 

no
it only counts if you spoon her taco

 

oh well.

she was passed the fuck out in the grass and i woke her up to go to bed with me (at 5am), then she was only awake for a lil while after (like 10 min tops.)


didnt really feel like raping her.

 

its not rape if she dosnt know

 

broke the left outer CV...boooo, happened yesterday tho

 

This past weekend did the tailgate mod & bought a locking gas cap..

 

I dont know how much that tractor weighs but it doesnt look to heavy for a taco.

And if it is too heavy it doesnt really matter cause I will never be towing a tractor and I would way rather have a taco over a ford anyday, why? cause in two years you can compare the value of both, taco will be worth twice as much even tho they cost the same new.

 

thats a real nice lookin taco you have.

 

Today, I reconnected the lower, drivers side anti sway bar mount to the LCA. Seems, I forgot a nut during the suspension install.

 

doh!:d
