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

Let me know!

 

First off...yes lots of work. I have done a ton of research on what rust products to use and last month ordered a variety of Eastwood products so I could have whatever I needed once I got to it.

I was about to POR-15 but I was able to grind away all the rust including the pitting on the hitch. I decided to just use Encapsulator on everything because I only need it to last until I get a plate bumper in the next year or so.

Between grinding, rust Encapsulator, and internal frame coating I was able to get it where I wanted.

If it wasn't just going to be a bandaid I would have done POR-15.

 

Got my new wheels and tires installed.

 

Looks really good Chris!

 

Thanks buddy I could have used your help putting those wheels and tires back on this whole thng was quite a bit of work

 

I looked at that picture for a minute before I figured out what was wrong with it. There looked like so much room for activities!

 

Freddy2923 to answer your question I use the exact same oil on my 2013 access cab 4 liter engine use the same oil in my XC90 Volvo use the same oil in my Honda lawnmower I am using mobile 15-50 in my Moto Guzzi motorcycle
TOMB

 

Went on a trail ride with @la0d0g @RelentlessFab and some other members.

A fun hill climb at the end. 4lo and locked but it made it up.



Eric's wife in her badass 4Runner made it look easy.

 

Finished wiring up my solar panel, charge controller, and fridge today. Per request from @Kuntrykid made a write up for it here. Hope this helps some!

 

Understand! Never a cool job to work on tire when close to ground level. I think everyone here agree that a car hoist is the ultimate tool!

 

Replaced my front rotors, replaced rear brake shoes, and discovered an exhaust leak near the manifold

 

Sucks about your exhaust leak. Headers?

 

If he can't find it, PM @Incognito. He's got a hook he might sell you.

 

didn't do all of this today but more of what has been done recently or at least since my last post haha

- I sealed my rear tail lights with some clear silicone because I noticed some condensation starting to build up.

- Installed some flush mount LED pods in my rear bumper.







- Finished and installed my axe holder.



- Removed and cleaned all of my seats with a Bissell Spot Cleaner.



- Installed a Charging/AUX Port in my centre blanks under the AC controls.



oh and best of all I got some new patches!

 

What charge/audio port is that?

 

Temporary got a huge latter rack.

 

I've always used Mobil 1 synthetic in mine w/ Toyota filters.

Took about 3 months to get tho haha it had not showed up by the due date so they refunded me the money and then 2 weeks later it showed up in the mail haha so I got it for free. Fit perfectly btw.

 

I Use whatever synthetic on sale...don't think there is much difference...has worked for over 30 years for me.

 

IMO the weight of the oil and the frequency in which you change it are way more important than the brand.
