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

It worked on my 2008 just fine. I bet there is another set of button pushes that would disable the newer trucks, just got to find that guy that works at a dealership to learn it though.

 

I need to do.

 

Changed the oil. O'Reilly didn't have any single quarts of Mobil1, so I tried out Castrol. Gonna go back to Mobil1 on the next change. Creature of habit.

 

Tips on greasing the drive shaft? I suppose I could search for it. But why waste all these great minds. Best grease, approach, application?

I feel like a douche... but this really bothered me... lol

Pretty simple. Get grease gun, pick your grease (I used mobil 1 synthetic), find zerk, wipe zerk off of dirt and debris, attach grease gun, squeeze grease till it comes out clean. Should only take 1 or 2 pumps. Have a paper towel or rag ready to wipe up the old/excess grease that comes out.

 

I use a battery terminal sealer on all. It will keep them high and dry and the corrosion off.

 

Sold it!! Wont be needing these any more!

Donuts in a snow-covered field! Big deal in TX.

 

I'm sure who ever owns that property is happy.

 

Free frosted donuts? You bet!

 

Just finished having an in-dash GPS, Bluetooth, DVD head unit installed in my 2011 Double Cab and I'm loving it. I went with the Alpine INE-W940 from Car Toys. I only wished I would have had them hook the rear camera up to the screen of the head unit. They said it was more labor intensive and that the cost would be higher for the installation. I was trying to keep the cost down, I wonder if this something I could possibly do myself later down the line....

 

Agreed! Use the money for tools and beer! The site for knowledge and friends so u have a tool/beerun vehicle!

 

Added 2013 touch screen non entune to my 2010 SR5 access cab

Cool deal, will try to find locally. Thank you!

 

Installed! Went smooth! Then again, I already had a lift on it. I need to adjust the driver side up a little bit, but that is it.

 

I've got a '13 with a 3 leaf. Guess I better take it in to get it swapped out for a 4 leaf. Does it raise it much? I have a topper, so I'm hoping it will a little.

That chain around the spare clankin around drives me crazy! LOL

Looks good, are they are a pain in the ass to put on? I am thinking doing them later down the line after it's lifted. I want to go aluminum to save weight and gas.

Nice work! I'm curious to see how you rig it up to lock it. I have a shell, so I don't necessarily need a lock, but when the topper comes off, it would be nice to have it secure.
