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

Almost forgot to respond to this one... no hi lift points unfortunately. The thing is a beast though, especially once I removed the stock bumper and looked at that thing from the backside... the support braces behind the stock bumper were so flimsy and bolted in... as oppose to the 3/8" welded steel. I guess what im saying is, although theres no "points" for a hi lift, I think you'd be fine

 

If those shackle mounts are welded all the way through , you can easily use them and a large square type shackle to use a hi-lift jack . Actually , in some ways it works out better since the jack can "bite" onto the shackle vs potentially slipping off a notch for the jack like some bumpers ....
Used the mounts on my home built Sami bumper that way for years , no issues .

This. Shackle through the shackle mount, hi-lift point through the shackle.

 

I've spent the last several hours doing the stupid chicken dance trying to program the door lock remotes , so basically wearing out the ignition lock , door hinge and door handle ....
Is there any hidden crap out there to reset this dumb thing ? I've watched 8 videos and printed 6 different procedures for programming the remotes - no luck at all , it will not enter programming mode .

@Sarge, did you unplug the sensor in the steering column that causes the door open chime when your keys are in the ignition? If so, it won't work until you plug it back in.

 

Are you flippin' kidding me ? That stupid little key sensor is the reason it won't go into programming mode ?
I could just blow this (*&*(&^)(*&^*&(*^%%^%#$)$#^%$@&#%@%$@%!!!

Changed my front/rear differential & transfer case over to Amsoil 75w90 Synthetic Severe Gear Oil.

 

Thanks , Capt. Obvious - almost too funny , it was that key sensor unplugged . Oh , how I love my old Land Cruiser and it's simplicity .

Which model truck do you have?
Nevermind, didn't see the last post.

 

Love Amsoil stuff

 

Any change in MPG?

 

I appreciate the response man. I'll have to make sure I talk to state farm next time I'm in an accident to see if I can get a pay out instead.

 

I use amsoil in my engine, diffs and t case. I didn't notice any change.

 

Sweet!

 

just put in some weathertech floorliners. They look great and fit perfect.

 

Mmm I wish mine still looked brand new.

 

Thanks for feedback. I switched all my fluids to synthetic and changed my rear diff to 75-90. You would think after 105,000 miles on original fluid it would have went up

 

hopefully mine dont look new for long. gotta hit the trails asap.

 

Lol perspective! Beautiful signature by the way. I wish I could say mine was dirty from adventure, but honestly it's just from working

 

Might be the best thing I've done to my truck. My wife bought a new Prius yesterday and I ordered a set for her tonight. She destroyed the carpet in her last car. My trucks almost five years old and the carpet looks like new.
