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

Toyota forklift mechanic who comes up to work on our lifts from time to time hooked me up with a hat today ! Actually a pretty good fitting hat & representing Northern California....far far Northern

 

Check the fuse first.

 

Yep. And how about checking to see that they're actually plugged in at the light?!?!! That'll fix it

Any reason these would be unplugged? I just bought it last week.

 

Previous owner had different lights in there and swapped them out prior to selling maybe.

 

That makes sense. On another note looking in the engine compartment there or I guess engine brackets in here and they have yet like that yellow wax pen mark on them with arrows pointing up and noted front and rear or F and R is that something that happens and Toyota engines or should I wonder if maybe this engine was removed at some point.

 

yea, hope they hold up well...got 3 or 4 tiny bubbles which is messing with my ocd

 

Just some deflector action...

 

Which brand did you get?

 

Stampede

Was able to negotiate a pretty sweet deal (AutoAnything)

Hopefully it doesn't bite me but they're in-channel for the windows.

The deflector has already saved me a few times as I installed it first to make sure I was happy with brand quality.

 

Cleaned, sanded, primed, and painted the tail pipe with Rustoleum High Heat (and a few other products). No more corrosion!

 

Someday haha

 

I did some wheelin in the north Ga mountains

 

Is there a downside to in channel?

 

On mine, the fit was pretty tight for the first few weeks with both the window and the visors in there. Actually made me cringe the first time I rolled it up. After that I kinda just forgot about it, and it settled in nicely. When I took them out a year and a half later, there were no negative effects.

 

Yeah there is definitely some glass on plastic squeaky sounds when seating them additionally with the window.

You're also suppose to leave windows up for the first 24 hours and be around 70 degrees (F) similar to tints.

Why did you take yours off?

 

Yeah but oh man when they do, so worth it. TOP NOTCH WORK you guys do! Building my wish list as we speak

 

I had to sell the truck because I was moving up to MD with a long commute. The 12 mpg just wasn't going to cut it! Miss that damn thing every day. I pulled off most the extra stuff before trading the truck in. Left some goodies though for the next guy. This was him before being traded in.

 

AH sorry to hear but completely understandable. She was a beaut.

 

Got a new creeper.

 

Cool, but shouldn't it be a Tacoma Roama?
