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

The quote in your signature is badass, man

 

Got my 285s and 5100s on finally! now for some bumpers

 

Hang in there and don't give up. There is always something new in medicine. You mentioned last ditch, are the doctors trying antithymocyte globulin (ATG)? I've read some interesting papers regarding that treatment and CGvHD.

 

My 3 year old son does the exact same thing. He want to either play in it or go for a ride as soon as I get home from work every day

 

Changing both front Hubs and rear differential Oil , going synthetic . And I think my Truck almost didn't fit .

 

So I finally color matched my bumper and grill! Really like the back bumper even tho I need to adjust it, but not happy with the grill, need to put a more shiny coat over it then cut out the triangles and put the mesh in! Also I put in new headlights with 5000k light output in my fogs and heads!

 

It wouldn't hurt to change the front differential and transfer case while you're at it. Takes the same oil and you only need 3 more quarts of it.

 

Good luck brother!

 

This morning, replaced front disk brake pads and replaced the serpentine/drive belt.

 

Are you referring the this piece?

 

Well it's Kansas.

 

Planning a trip to Oregon in august for 5 days and have yet to map out anything. Any recommendations? Preferably BLM land where campfires are allowed?

 

Frankly, I have no idea but maybe it's the angle of your photo. I haven't actually popped the hood to look yet, I was just reading the install instructions.

If that's the piece between the hood and windshield then yes

 

Cody, if anything happens and if you get sicker. I'm sure that plenty of us will drive to iowa and have like a tacoma parade thing in your honor. Hopefully you will be able to see it man. Cancer sucks ass

 

Yea that's the one, I just used a box cutter, the plastic isn't all that thick so with a little force you can get right through it, no dermal needed. If you have the cali raised brackets its not all that much trimming, I just put it next to the bracket after installed and eyed what would need to be trimmed for it to fit snug and squared it away!

 

Just found out it was illegal to have them mounted as ditch lights without covers

Ordered a set of those in black, glad you test fitted them first

 

You sir, are the man!

I have the CaliRaised brackets and I believe a brand new box cutter laying around somewhere. That blade should plenty sharp then.

 

I think VA has a similar law but I live out in the sticks so hopefully I don't get bothered. I can always try the "but they have amber covers?" trick and see if I can at least just get a warning

 

I found the cheapest location was eBay for the covers. I think got them for $10 a piece with free shipping. Amazon was $15.

I just want to reiterate that they don't fit perfect and I have yet to drive around with mine installed to see if they pop off easily... I still think they will be fine.

 

I have a tip, when greasing make sure to loosen the through bolt and shimmy it back and forth after greasing otherwise it will cause the bushings to mushroom and eventually need to be replaced... and a set of those are close to $100. Just a heads up
