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

Ordered mine Sunday night, they shipped the next day when they were open, and I received them today. Granted, I'm only 7 hours from where they shipped.

 

Good deal well I'm in PA so shouldn't be much more if that's where they're coming from

 

Just sent off a $3,000 payment. Finally have a little coin stashed up, well i used to... So I'm hoping to put a dent in my remaining balance and make aggressive payments the rest of this calendar year. Easier said than done.

 

Paid off trucks perform much better...worth at least .06% hp

 

Very true.... and I told myself I can get Icons and a snorkel once shes paid off, so there is a lot of incentive on the line here. Still at least 20 months out though...

 

They bars are actually the older style Thule Aeroblades. The tracks themselves are also from Thule. They are bolted directly into the roof, using Plus Nuts.

 

Finally after like a month got my truck back from the ship, with new leaf packs !

Then I went and got my windows tinted for all 3 was 80$ at a Santa Anna shop. Not too shabby

 

I wish I had the coin to pay off mine .

 

Heading out for a ride

 

Wash, Clay bar, sealant and wax job. 5 hours. She's mint!

 

Had these installed: PowerStop. Smooth braking, although my brake peddle seems to have a lot of travel in it. Need to figure out how to address that.

 

I just went through this and it was my rear drum brake adjuster. Make sure your rear drums are adjusted properly or you will have long pedal travel.

Also I assume you bled the brakes ? Make sure there is no air in your brake lines.

 

Ah ha. So should I bleed the rear drums as well? I did a quick YouTube search found a vid for 2002 Taco, and they bleed all 4 wheels. Also, the rear brake adjuster, not familiar with that.
Should I bleed the brakes first ?
Thanks for the heads up, and any info.

Installed NFAB sidesteps textured black 2in

 

nice skewped base model!! thought I was the only one..

 

Adjust everything first then bleed the brakes but unless the pedal feels soft you probably don't need to bleed. You should be able to find a video describing how to adjust the brakes. The drum should spin freely without the pads touching it but you don't want extra room. The extra gap is what causes the additional pedal travel.

 

Thanks man! Something I haven't seen much of is a DCLB base 4x4. I figured everything is prewired and bolt on so why not!

 

This thought also ran through my mind when I saw your truck! Didn't know they offered a base model DCLB! I have still yet to see another truck like mine (5spd prerunner access cab in timberland mica).. I'm lucky if I see one in the same color lol

 

Ordered Pelfreybilt Bumper and Skids.
