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

Hard to believe they're essentially the same truck.

 

Gave it a long-overdue cleaning and wax.


(and noticed I'm getting close to the end of life on my stock tires, finally!)

 

I put 82,000 miles on my stock tires.

 

LOL, Those do not even look close to wore down

 

I only got 15,000 mi. out of my stock tires.

Correct. Relentless Summit bumper is on order. I also plan on doing some other things such as sliders, skids, winch, gobi roof rack etc... Should be here in a month or two. BUT let me say I was very skeptical about doing the 886 here in michigan (worst roads on the country + I live on a dirt road) and I could daily drive this setup as it is not without any complaints. It rides stiff but smooth (if that makes any sense lol). I actually prefer the way it rides now over stock.

 

I'm just about at 23k and 30% tread. These are by far the worst tires I've ever had. I miss my destination a/t's on my last truck.

 

Finished replacing the steering rack and installed 5100s w/ ome coils and an aal to the rear. The ride is improved over stock. Very happy to have it all done. The vsc demon was awoken by the steering rack replacement. Fixed with the zero calibration for that sensor and all is right with the world. Now I just need to give it a bath.

 

Better than no antenna, but it seems just about like normal

 

Went camping last night and got to see some pretty cool stuff. Went up Kennebec pass up to Columbus basin and the notch at Snowstorm Peak.

 

Replaced my recirc damper solenoid and cabin air filter.

 

I can't imaging driving in the city on a low truck like that with all the potholes, roadkill, and unlevel roads. I'd hate to see what his undercarriage looks like.

 

That's kinda where I'm at. Roughly the same miles, virtually all from commuting and highway trips. Surprised and disappointed to have to replace a set of tires after 30k, but I don't care for the tires so I'm looking forward to picking out new shoes.

 

He has an airbag suspension. He raised it up for me to take a look. The under body is clean and paint matched. I didn't measure or ask but it looked to be about 9" of lift from the airbags.
It's his third tacoma and just his little project, not his daily driver.

 

Loaded it down with supplies to take to the flood victims in WV.



Then found out a local donation collection center needs someone to transport a load, so I rented a trailer to load up in the morning and head in to do some good.

 

My stock tires had 500km. Sold for 1000 to my dad. Goodrich tires, they're pretty decent but well worth upgrading. They are called take offs for a reason.

 

Please tell me you don't have tow mirrors... If you do you have my condolences for your loss

 

Sidetracked with the first of many custom 3d printed shift knobs. Going with a white or amber light for the eyes, tried the green just to see how it would look.
