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

Nice , thanks. They're not that expensive.

 

I have the

$37 f103n with LC-10 lever clip fn-series engine oil drain valve, 1 pack

f103n, it's completely hidden behind my RCI skid plate... skid plate is removed for unexpected maintenance.

 

Before they ever came out with all of the current quick detailed washes, cleaners, and waxes I use to use Pledge furniture polish as a quick wax detail when I've owned motorcycles. It worked really good too.

 

That doesn't affect the automotive paint in the long term?

 

Washed the truck for the first time this year and then my woman's Honda Fit. Went to the grocerie store, rolled on a dirt road and now the truck is full of dust but I don't care, it's 90* for the first time this year and beer is good! Cheers!

 

I owned the motorcycle for 5 years and the paint look just like it did the first day I got it.

 

Always hated driving down a dirt road after spending all that time cleaning up a vehicle, at least you got something to help relieve the stress from all the work you did for nothing.

 

Yaa i forgot about that part of the road under construction... dammit truck will stay like this. Now i found a chip bag to complement my beer, life is good!

 

Pics of new truck, silver one is new, blue one is old.

 

DCLB

 

first time soldering with a blowtorch. Turned out well lol.

 

Not just DCLB, but DCLB 4x4

 

TEEIAM - All I changed all of my drain plugs to the ones from Dimple mfg. I highly recommend them. See attached link www.drainplugmagnets.com
Phone 704-320-0700.

In my case I choose the magnet type over the fumoto . These Dimple Mfg type are extremely strong and you can get the one for the front diff that actually uses a wrench instead of the allen type .

Also check out their vid. If you call you will actually get a real person to talk to . If you place a order they will send you a handy thread pitch gauge

For people looking for a nice impact, Lowes has the 24v Kobalt on sale at 20% off, making it 199. Picked up one this morning and just did a tire rotation with it, life saver. It is rated at around 650. Plenty to do some heavy jobs and it doesnt involve me having to drag the air hose out.

Completed the next phase of the air horn project. Vixen 4-trumpet air horns physically installed behind the grille. A tight squeeze but I made it work. Had to fashion a bracket out of 1.5-inch wide 1/8-inch steel.

Anybody have a secret for getting the new cv axle in past the c clip? I can't seem to get enough leverage. TIA

 

For now, this is happening.

 

Finally had a free day to put my lift in. Bilstein 5100 at 0.85 with a 1/2 spacer drivers side and 3/8 passenger. Netted about 1.5" lift.

Tires go on Tuesday and I have an AAL waiting to go on when I get another day off!

Edit: No vibes

 

Honestly, I think these mirrors look better than the itty bitty factor mirrors...I have them on my Taco...they are great for towing a travel trailer.
