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

#rekt

 

I hate those little floor jacks. Talk about dangerous IMO.

If you even think of using them on a disabled truck sitting on a uneven trail good luck to you...that paper thin sidewall metal folds like a cheap suite dropping the load and rendering the jack useless because they bend all to heck. Ill never buy or use one again.

Wish I could remember where i had the picture of the one that failed on me. It was a joke how badly it got bent up.

 

That one in the picture has worked great for me for over 10 years, so I can't complain. It must be understood that it obviously has its limits. In my case, stock height truck, dirt roads = After 5 years though, I did finally break down and buy a hi-lift to better round out recovery gear options.

 

Yep, can also be used as a come along and reseat tires in a pinch.

 

What was the part number for the Denso spark plugs? I'm at 60k and need to change mine. I don't think they've ever been changed.

 

Battery Hold-down by Coupe.... nice work....

 

X2. You need a MUCH beefier floor jack to lift the truck safely. I got a 3-ton low-profile jack in the garage that lifts 4"-21", so I can use it on both my Subaru and my Taco without wooden blocks. The thing weighs 101 lb though, more than a Hi-Lift, so it makes no sense to bring it on the trail.

 

Just get them through the dealership. They're pretty cheap. Like $25 for all 6

That is one clean engine!

 

K20HRU11 for standard (30k change interval)

$59 SK20HR11 ---- IRIDIUM PLATINUM power pack Spark Plugs -- # 3421 ----- 6 PCS NEW

SK20HR11 for iridium (100k change interval) - about twice as expensive as standard plugs if you get them through Rock Auto. The dealer parts counter will rape you.

Tried out my 6 ft 220 lb frame in the access cab rear seat today. It was not as uncomfortable as I feared.

 

I washed, buffed out my trail pinstripes, cleaner waxed then polished it just in time for it to rain.

 

Pahala...take an exacto blade with a fresh tip and you can pierce those air bubbles in your decal and press it with your finger to get rid of most of those

 

Just dropped my baby off to have my new grill insert installed! Cannot WAIT. Pics to come

 

when u add on the base plate and adapter -that is an expensive setup for a bottle jack...

 

I believe I have the 48" lift. I'm going to keep it. I just purchased the SOS sliders with bolt-on steps. I'll have to go back and check but my hope is that I can use the Lift with the sliders. If not, there are other uses, as has been mentioned.

 

Something to always remember: when fixing to drain the fluid from ANY transmission, transfer case, diff ALWAYS, I repeat, ALWAYS make sure the FILL plug/bolt will come out BEFORE you drain the case.

 

Added a new member to the Toyota family last weekend. My wife just had to have it, guess i cant complain its a nice rig!

 

^NICE! Sweet color. Needs more black, just sayin

 

Installed a 2013 taco radio in my 2012 base AC.
