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

BIGGER! Double cabs look way better with 285's! Especially DCLB since they are so long. The bigger tires makes them look proportional.

 

255/85 are actually 1/2" taller than 285 give or take and no trimming required.

 

It's not for a yota. It's for a Chrysler vehicle. Same thread size as the automatic Taco. Only thing was that the shaft on the Tacoma is thicker, so I had to drill it out up to the threads. After driving around with it today, it's much better than the stock knob. Just feels better.

took it to the dessert

 

What do you mean by had to drill it out up to the threads, sorry for such a dumb question but I'm wanting to put this shifter on my tacoma too

 

Did you buy it ice cream?

 

Maybe a Dairy Queen Double-Dip Drive thru dessert....sounds yummy....

 

I installed my new intermittent wiper switch in 5 minutes thanks to a how to post on this forum

I tried to fix my bucket seat seatbelt compatibility wiring problem to no avail.

 

Did my yearly clay, sealant and wax.
Looks amazing

 

Pendleton is tied with Prineville for the record high temp in Oregon at 119F, and the record low here is only -28F. My great grandfather recorded the coldest temperature in the state in my hometown of Seneca, Or at -54F Feb 10, 1933.

 

Hopefully this will help ya. I would have included the drill bit size, but I forgot what size. Haha. If you really need me to, I can go have a gander to double check.



Edit: I should make a note that, those are not that actual locations/sizes. I just put them there for an idea of what I was talking about. The thread size is correct though.

 

Installed my Rhino rack and homemade fairing.



The fairing is a replica of a Thule 555 fairing I made to run on the rack I have on my VW. I was surprised how well it actually fits.

I also test mounted my canoe to make sure I liked how it fit on the rack -





Pretty happy with it.

 

Image saved for later reference. I know how, I just keep forgetting the thread pitch.

 

I worked on my CB mount and added a hinge pin and cotter pin to the front of my rack incase I ever need to get under it.

I guess it would have been a smart idea to take a picture of it up to give an idea of what it does... oops.

 

Finally got an oil catch can installed! Baffled of course! We'll see how it works. The threads on the fittings were a little loose and just wouldn't tighten enough IMO. I could easily unscrew them by hand. I added some Pipethread sealant and let it set over night. Looks like it did the trick.

 

why does one need an oil catch can?
not trying to be smartass, I just don't know....

 

Basically, the air-fuel mixture that gets into your crankcase is pushed out of your PCV valve and re-cycled through your intake. This can cause things to gunk up. If you run that line through an oil catch can, much of the contaminates will be left in the can, resulting in a cleaner, better performing engine.

 

thanks!
where'd you source yours, and, pics of the install location would be cool

Like this, eh?
