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

Steel, got it for a steal too lol

 

lucky sob. I wont forget.

He traded a factory chrome bumper for it. Thats it again lucky sob hahaha

 

Milled and hauled some giant big leaf maple.

 

I want to make a table out of something like that.

 

New grill.

 

Painted my emblem to match the truck too recently...

 

Looks like a cool dining table in the making!

 

Definitely, that seems to be the trend lately.

 

To be perfectly honest about it the bolt type probably don't mean squat. More than likely they are the same bolts ( thread, size and pitch ) just not specifically the exact bolt called for in the build sheet.

 

Some extended warranties have deductibles and some do not. It depends on the level you choose at purchase...

 

I installed new spark plugs, cleaned the maf sensor, and installed a new air filter. I knew my injectors were clean because I took them out around 60k miles and cleaned them and the throttle body. My mileage was terrible but the check engine light was not on.

I reset the ecu by disconnecting the battery. the first tank of gas I ran though it after resetting the ecu I got good mileage and then it started to deteriorate. I made a guess based on this fact. I just replaced both sensors at the same time when the problem could have only been one of them.

 

Installed LED Halo Fog lights with wireing harness wow these are very bright also 2 stages LED Halo & Super bright install time 45miin I ordered 2sets by mistake going sell one set will post pics soon

 

I took my 2008 in for service ( 260,000 miles)
I told them that I'm hearing a slight grinding at slow speeds and fellt shaking on the highway.
I was told the noise was coming from the Transfer case.
They did a tire rotation and a front alignment in there service appointment, shake I think is gone will pay more attention in the following days.
What could of failed in the transfer case, can you fix a case or just replace it?
How hard to replace, is a used on as good as a new one?
Has anyone have this happen to there truck yet?

 

Yea I'm not sure either but I didn't have the time to fight with them yesterday so I just paid it. Good idea on contacting Toyota. Will try that today at work. I've only had the truck for 3 weeks lol

 

Did you buy it New or Preowned? If Preowned, what year and how many miles? Because a Toyota Certified Vehicle has a $50 deductible.

 

Yea I bought it used as a CPO. It a 2010 with 58k on it. I just checked my warranty and it does have that $50 deductible writen in there, but the two service reps I talked to acted like they never heard of it before and said the manager told them to charge me when they billed the radio. I've only owned it for three weeks and the problem started the week I purchased it. Last few weeks have been just me fighting with them to get the radio fixed. I have to take videos with my phone of it malfunctioning before they would finally order it.

If the radio did that on the test drive they would've fixed it for nothing? I shot Toyota an email anyways just to see what they say.

 

My 2010 stock radio had the same problem, the original owner had it in for warranty multiple times. He said that the radio powers itself off randomly and Toyota replaced everything multiple times. I put in an aftermarket head unit, it loses power every so often but not during use, i only know because i have to re enter time and date. Its a pita

 

I wish I had the extra cash to do aftermarket. I figured the stock replacement would get me by till I could buy one. If I knew this was going to cost me $50 I would've put that towards an aftermarket instead.

 

Replaced my map light, dome light and license plate bulbs with led's.
