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

Ah, the cord is for my Cobra 75WX CB radio and the red light is the charge indicator for a little stubby rechargeable flashlight that my son gave me for Father's Day.

 

Finally mounted my spare tire to the Konig Countersteer wheel I bought in Feb.



It took this long because the spare tire lock was on backorder at Amazon, but I didn't cancel because the price looked good. When it finally arrived, it was the wrong part. I ordered P/N

$55 PT276-35060 Spare Tire Lock

PT276-35060. Amazon sent me P/N

$46 PT276-34071 Spare Tire Lock for Select Tacoma and Tundra Models, Silver

PT276-34071 with an Amazon-created label in front showing PT276-35060.



PT276-34071 is for the chain winch. PT276-35060 is for the cable winch; it includes a cover for the bottom ferrule to guard against cutting. I ended up buying PT276-35060 at the dealer parts counter for a few dollars less than Amazon...

I repainted the steel plate with five coats of Tremclad Rust black and saturated everything in Fluid Film before putting the spare back on.

 

Awesome day!Thanks to @Trident904 and @5 Lug Fury
installed Dakars,rear brake lines , rear @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc bumpstops, billy b110's. up front it was new SPC UCA's and 1/2" spacer on the drivers side with a 1/4" spacer on the passenger with billys 5100's with OME 885's. new spash guards.

 

URD Stage II clutch and throwout bearing install yesterday. Have to get used to the new pedal feel.

 

Looks good, nice clean look

 

Looks great man! I just ordered AllPro expo leafs and a u bolt flip kit with Wheelers super bumps for the rear. I'm about to order my extended rear brake lines. How was it installing the leaf packs?

 

Went together pretty good considering I had a seasoned veteran @Trident904 and a helping hand @5 Lug Fury . The brake lines are a PITA drop the spare to getter a better approach angle.

 

Thanks, I'll take your suggestion regarding the spare

 

Yeah man its always better to have some one help you out also

 

BAMF bed rack, Mobtown skids and Tepui tent put on plus a bath.

 

Good day for fishing and swimming. And not working on the truck!

 

Just got back from my test drive after rebuilding my rear drive shaft. First time ever doing anything to the drive shaft. after 280000 miles it was time haha!

After I got it all back together I took a drive up the Thomas mountain truck trail to test it out.

Mandatory poser "my truck can't flex" picture.


Scary moment a few minutes before I took this picture a dirt bike and I got in to a little accident. Was scary as hell, luckily he didn't get hurt too bad and his bike wasn't to bad either. never taking this trail on the weekends again, first and last time for that.

 

New Shoes Today!

 

Changed spark plugs, front diff & transfer case oils, and engine oil so far. Next week I plan on get rotors turned and changed all the brake pads/shoes. And possibly might paint the center console and dash around stereo tonight! I will post before and after pics of that for sure.

 

Truck looks good glad you guys are ok!

 

Thanks man! Scary situation that's for sure

 

That's NOT what she said!

 

I'm running 255/80/17's rt now stock. Just trimmed some minor plastic

 

Installed my DIY shovel and axe mount. Plans worked great @Benson X!

Fits perfect over my fire safety / mix tape storage compartment.

 

I must have had a headache that night.
