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

I did my first spark plug change. The step by step tutorial here gave me all the info I needed. Thanks!

 

Did that a while back. Hot too hard, just time consuming. And that coil on the front driver's side cylinder (cylinder #2, maybe?) is a royal pain in the ass to get out.

I'll have to do it again soon. 60K mile maintenance will be here in a few months.

 

Getting the wiring harness off of #2 coil was a PITA, everything else was pretty painless for me. With a nice 72 degree day here in OKC, I was glad to be outside.

 

Installed a painted 12 radio vent surround so my entune radio fits better than on my 08 did

 

I have a colormatched emblem if your interested...

 

looks good! doing this myself soon.

 

That's sweet. Is that paint or wrap?

 

Washed it and then wiped it down with this. Love this stuff. Easy to apply and great UV protection against the Florida sun. I've been using it since I got the truck. Don't want this one to look my my 2000 did when I sold it.

Indigo ink pearl?

 

I have an 05, what interior parts interchange? I like the radio vent surround from above.

 

Looks nice! Now you just need the A/C trim piece to match.

 

Nice!

Body shop painted it for free (Honda fit) told them just paint it what ever the next black car is going into the booth.

My 08 surround is painted in black Kia paint lol probably sell it

Naw I don't need it. Mine already lights up white how I want it

 

The trim piece that surrounds you A/C controls lights up?

 

my bad read it wrong

i dont really mind the gray ihave on it now

 

Just Royal Purpled it out. Oil, filter, gas treatment, rear diff oil change. Noticeable difference. The '07 is running smooth with 92K miles.

 

Well I finally got my RCI sliders on.







Pre install


Pre paint


I will get a better side pic tomorrow after I wash the truck.

 

all of them except the cluster electronics, you can swap the faceplate but some lights wont be in the right places. some are plug and play like the steering wheel, black center console, ac surround, carpet and clock. others require some require additional modifications (ac controls, radio). its doable for a decent price if you get auto salvage parts and ask guys on here that have done it before.

 

any pics of the interior with everything back in it?

 

Open the door when you use the jack like that, if it slips you get a big gouge in the door...ask me how I know

 

No.... I'm not falling for that question. Haha
Seriously though, this is a great tip. Heard this so many times.
