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

I've cleaned mine almost daily I'm out of work again for a while. I clean one day and the next it's yellow and covered with oak pollen also

 

Yep, that's happening here too. HATE it. Washing my car twice a week.

 

Yeah, same here. Pollen rinses off fairly easily. Now if I can just keep the damn birds from shitting all over my truck I'd be ok.

 

well you aren't that far away. BTW big all Toyota meet in Fredericksburg tmorrow. Not a show just a meet. All knids of toyotas and I believe there a group coming down from NY. I know several members coming up from the Va beach area it's put on by one of our members here. @Salty_Dog

 

I try to get that off quick the acid in their shitcan burn the paint

 

To be honest I had never heard about this until @la0d0g brought it up, I had to Google it.

Now I'm like fml another thing I learned about on TW to add to the list of things that are draining my savings.

 

This Tacos bumper almost done. Few more places to grind down, add some anchor points and small other plates to add.

 

I have the longer one. No oil drain pan required! I just slipped an old 5qt jug under the nipple and drained until it was full, then closed the valve and switched it for an empty 1qt bottle and drained the rest! Makes for a very clean oil change with no transfer spilling or anything. Love it.

 

Oooo. I might try your way next time.. I think my skid plate might not let me get right up there with a jug though.

I've done a few oil changes with my valve but I use the oil drain pan. It's super nice to not drop the friggin' bolt in the oil pan every time and the valve has held up well for a couple years so far.

 

To be fair I slid my floor jack under and cranked up the front end a few inches to slip the bottle under. It was well worth the "extra effort" to not have to use the pan and transfer the oil

 

I use one of these

To drain into one of these

And have yet to spill a drop. It's amazing!

 

I guess a long bed wouldn't help this situation that much. I need to quit being cheap and buy a trailer

 

Trail ready!

 

That woulda saved me a slow ride home today haha. And a lot of seat pinching.

 

Obviously it's cocaine

 

Don't make us put Liam Neeson on ya!
Keep that gorgeous hunk of iron!

To be clear, I mean the car, not Liam.

 

Got my camp lights mounted on my bed rack

 

Figure out a good location for the tool bag. Fits nicely in the larger driver side cubby. Cheap and durable on Amazon.
