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

SCS wheels are nice. Ive debated on going with some Fuel Trophys but life slows you down on decision making

But these wheels are a b***h to clean, lol

 

I got my Taco oil under coated this past week...the guys that did it said for a six year old truck in the rust belt, it didn't look bad at all. Hopefully the annual oiling will keep the girl relatively rust free for years to come.

 

I know what you mean, it was close to 9 months since i was able to get to mine. She (the truck) started getting depressed so I thought I'd treat her. My wife takes up the garage, so outside she sits...

 

Get the laser cut husky ones. Perfect fit in my 09 manual

 

Re-gapped my NGK Iridiums -

$47 LFR6AIX-11 - 6 PCSNEW

LFR6AIX-11. Installed them at 60K and will replace at 160K with same. They were fine when I checked them around 100K. Today, I re-gapped from .050 to .043. Cleaned them up with a wire brush and sandpaper; truck running fine.

 

Yes, I was aware of that and actually why I bought them. I plan to use them more in the summertime and then use the Weathertech liners I have for the snow and salt season. It looks like these will cover the entire floor but still look nice and protect the carpet. But thanks for the heads up!

 

This may sound stupid but I have an Airflow Snorkel that's been sitting in the garage for two years. I was just wondering, besides drilling the side panel what else has to be done in the engine bay to install the snorkel?

 

After dropping the spare for the 6th time to check air pressure, I finally decided to flip it. I will now be able to check the air pressure far more often then every 6 months or so.

Easy to do and I'm not worried about the valve stem getting knocked off. It does not extend past the rim and I tucked it back by the diff pumpkin so it's partially protected there.

The real question should be: Why did I wait 3 years to do this?

 

The toughest part of the whole thing was getting the inner fender shroud out. That was a pain in the ads. Otherwise it was a pretty straight forward setup. As far as what has to be done in the engine bay, pretty much cutting the end off the intake line and running the new line connection to intake and some hose clamps.

 

Tried out my CVT out last night..

 

I've seen some people run one of these in combo with the flip. They'll mount it right next to the license plate and you can check your pressure a whole lot easier.

 

i like that bedside pnw decal

 

Thanks man. Got them from @CBoy808 on here. Just don't get the same color as me. lol

 

I'm not so old yet I can't crawl under the truck. That is a good idea and I can see where it would make it easier to check but it may be one more way to leak air out of the spare too.

Thanks for the tip though! This is what makes TW so great.

 

Finally had the opportunity to use my Rigid D series midnight edition LED pods off-road on a recent hunting trip. I mounted them to the underside of the front Yakima round bar that's mounted to my Leer 180 mid-rise cap. I want them for some extra distance while running low beams & fogs. I'm very happy with the results.

Added a glove box organizer it's the small things

 

So today I cleaned the oak leaves from inside the fenders at the door. I changed my cabin air filter and cleaned the throttle body and MAF.

 

Waiting for SCS to get more RAY10s in stock. My tires were delivered today, man this combo is gorgeous

 

The hardest part was choosing which ones to get. I went from Ray 10's to Stealth 6 to last second deciding on the sr-8's. I knew I had to go with the matte bronze though.

 

Installed N fab lightbar today. What a bitch to get those bolts off.
