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

Got my tires rotated and balanced.

Also, went to the dealer to see if I could get some rear drums out of them. Just bought the truck 3 weeks ago, they had replaced the park brake cables prior to selling it and obviously (in my mind anyway) warped at least one drum trying to get it off the truck. Big braking vibrations and hot brake smell on the left rear. But no, they wanted FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS just to replace the drums. Nothing else, no shoes or spring kits or anything. Just remove the tires, swap the drums, and put the tires back on. So I said no and went to the parts store on the way home to buy my own damn drums. I'll put them on tomorrow. I know brake parts are not covered under the TCU warranty but I would have thought they'd man up and give me some drums since I just bought the truck there!

 

This is my favorite addition to my bed

 

First favorite is my custom double quickfist mount holdinging my fiskars axe and bluehawk shovel (seen below)



And my second favorite is the idea Pistol Pete gave me for tractor supply surface mounts on the cubby bolts (seen below)

 

I've never seen this before... What is this?

 

110,000 miles on my 08 AC decided it was time to change my plugs and im glad I did! they were very worn out. serpentine belt was making noise and wile im at it change my oil. RUNS BEAUTIFUL!!

 

may need to add that mod to the list!

 

Long travel rear and a full size spare

 

Dang, pretty intense. Didn't know they cut through the bed for it. How's the spare held in place?

 

Technically I'm not long travel rear yet, waiting on leafs then I'll be set but yea it's a bedcage with 16" shocks

As of right now, gravity lol gonna buy a Y-strap to hold it down

 

That spare appears to be flopping around like a limp willy.

Thats how you get more travel out of the rear long travel shock set ups. There are some that fit under the bed with no need for fancy custom cutting and tubing but you sacrifice the length of travel in the rear.

 

OZ gave me the idea

Do it! Super easy and useful. We all used these

 

*COUGH COUGH* you're cooler than oz *COUGH*

 

Hahahahaha. Oh man. That was a good laugh

 

Your not wrong on the spare part

 

Final test fit of the plate bumper if been working on

 

Yes sir. Living here full time we're required to go on all MVA's and Fires. Then when we're on shift we have to go on every call no matter what it is. All while going to school for my Fire Degree.

 

Bp More pics on the bumper Please and what size plate 3/16 or 1/8th. along with corner pictures if you dont mind. Thanks Looks awesome

 

I used 3/16" plate
