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

I did this last week. Boring? Maybe, but I'll do just about anything to get some garage time in...

 

Washed/Waxed and took some pics.

 

Yeah 50,000km since doing them last. PS is the original with 242,000km so it's about time I change that.

 

what pump/tool are you guys using to move the fluid?

 

I did the diffs and transfer case. My truck only has 30k. I haven't done the PS fluid yet.

I saw on here where one guy just siphons the PS reservoir and refills every oil change. I think I might go that route next oil change.

You could do that with a syringe or turkey baster.

 

I used the Turtle Wax headlight restorer kit took almost 2 hours since I went over the headlights a couple times. Its worth the extra time if you have some rough headlights.

 

so how did you do the diffs and xfer case?

 

Just drain and refill. No special tools necessary.

Basically, Remove the drain plug, drain fluid, reinstall drain plug, remove fill plug, fill until fluid runs out, install fill plug, done.

Heated seats under my cloth sport seats

 

Nice work sir. Proves you don't need a 3rd gen

 

Looks great, really like those rims with MGM.

 

Once i saw the back window of the 3rd gen doesn go down like the Tundra or 4runner, I made up my mind to keep my truck for awhile. Yes, a back window that rolls down is all i wanted.

 

I've been working on moving mods over from my 2005 DCLB Prerunner to my 2005 DCLB 4X4. I made it through getting my led interior lights, in-dash DVD/NAV, Homelink mirror, wheels/tires, battery, Redline hood struts, Wet Okole seat covers, add a leaf and brake controller. Still have the front bilstein 5100's and DTLT headers, bull bar and a couple of other odds and ends to move over, but I ran out of steam. I haven't had this much fun since...well since I put all this stuff on my Prerunner.

 

Me and a buddy installed my Toytec Bilstein lift. I gained 3 inch in the rear and 4 inch in the front. Hope it settles down some. I'm going to run my stock wheels and tires for a week to allow it to settle then put my new wheels and tires on and get it aligned. Can't wait. It looks funny lifted running baby tires

 

Very nice

 

Washed and got rid of the billet grill cause the stock one is growing on me

 

Installed a pop-n-lock tailgate lock, hose clamp on tailgate hinge, small D-rings onto the bed storage box mounting bolts, pro.fit cell phone mount, dressed GPS and ultra-gauge cables down dash.

 

Real good tires got mine 285/75R16

 

Real good tires what size are yours

 

Pic of holster?

That looks great. Love those wheels.

Looks like this is what I'll be doing.
