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

Lol I'll get "official" once someone actually sends me some stickers... I've tried to get mine at least two, if not three times.

 

Drooling over pictures of my truck since it still is on a boat to Germany. I won't get her back until end of August

 

Pulled off the front plastic/chrome bumper so I could paint it black. There was also a metal crossmember that was rusting and could be seen through the bumper that I wanted to hit with the shaker can too.

Turns out the back of the chrome bumper was heavily rusted too. I wire brushed that bastard and hit it with some Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer. Tomorrow I'll finish painting the bumper and put it all back together.

 

Changed out my bedside decal's with a set from member spieler http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/bu...pielers-steekerz-vinyl-decals-design-etc.html

 

Looking good

 

Woo Pig Sooie!

Lol, both of my folks are Arkansas Alumni. I'm an Aggie though, so Gig 'em!.

 

Took my truck to a Toyota specialist in the area to get looked at for an annoying constant "tapping" noise. I could have sworn I had an exhaust leak/radiator issue/maybe even the brake shield loose since I had my brakes recently replaced. Got my truck back and mechanically it is solid (which is great! plus it was free to have it completely torn down and inspected! ) ..but still that annoying "tapping/metal on metal" sound...

Soooo... Sat around kicking and shaking my truck for about an hour today and found that there is a slight gap between my plastic front bumper cover and the frame at the bottom two corners. A (may be OEM, may not be) screw attaching the cover to the frame could not be tighten down any more which when driving, caused it to rattle against the metal frame thus causing the annoying ass sound. Went to Home Depot, bought a few washers, screwed them in between the plastic bumper cover and the frame of my truck and .. WALAH! No more annoying "tapping/metal on metal" sound anymore... Now its just the "quite" hum of my 33's...

 

Nice. Waiting to do the same exact thing. Just need to build a aux fuse block.

 

Fixed my Homer Grill, after 90k and many desert outings the plastic welds and tie wraps were all broken. used plastic 2-part epoxy and new tie wraps, all better now.

Edit:this is no reflection on Craig's workmanship, I would buy another from him if I couldn't fix it.

 

I just replaced my plugs at 114k I think for the first time. Jeesh I know! I am useually much better at the maintenance. I don't know why I didn't read or check my manual but I thought they were 100k plugs...oops.

Anyway the gap grew to .60/65 lol otherwise looked fine.

Replaced the plugs cleaned the mass airflow sensor and did a decarb service. Truck runs better.

 

Finished up maintenance items i didnt get to yesterday. Mostly greasing parts. UCA's and the 5 on the drive shaft.

Then installed leds in the interior lights. To bright out to really tell how bright they are but i could tell they are definitely brighter !
