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

Almost done....

 

Short bed? That thing looks like it barely squeezed in!

 

Kind of funny just got done washing, and waxing, both the car and the truck ( as well as both transmissions), while having a few Cape Coders, get done, come on Tacoma world and read this. Love it this website makes me laugh at least once a day.

 

Just got my new headlights, waiting on the TRD pro grill, and LED low, and high beams. Should have it all installed by the end of next week I'll post a picture when it's done. This is how the front looks now.( sorry it's dark)

 

Replaced the factory Dunlops with Cooper Discoverer AT/3.

 

Got my @Pelfreybilt Aluminum IFS skid installed today! Very impressed with the quality and the excellent customer service. For the product being backordered during the Labor Day sale I still received it during the same week! Really like how it protects the alignment tabs.

 

one in the same

 

wasnt going to, really a straight forward deal and some good write ups in the thread that covers this .......https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/oil-catch-can-install-guide.231227/.

 

first snow of the season

 

SCREW THAT! you are welcome to all we get as well

 

its always a treat for us in oregon when we get powder GO UNTIL YOU CANT ANY FURTHER

 

I used to love it. Get a job at a major airport and you won't love it anymore. When I go back to work, if I can. I may try to find a different job where I can love it again

 

i get that, we had literally 90 days of 80-100* weather and recently this week we had snow and rain/hail straight

 

We used to get good snows and I loved going out like you in my Jeep, at the time, and driving in it. Hell I'd volunteer to go pick people up. Now we either have a mild winter or get dumped on with 30-40" and I have to be at work until we're released some times for a week. But I do get paid 24 hours a day for snow duty

 

Replaced the passenger side wheel bearing/hub. 100% of the noise is gone up front. Between the new hubs/bearings, ECGS bushing, and new Duratracs, this trucks makes no noise on the road at all. Its weird. Almost too quiet and car like.

I did notice the passenger side tie rod is showing its age. Its not longer stiff and stays in place when left to hang. Kinda expected stuff like this though since the truck has 103k miles on it.

Next round of maintenance will be happening soon - tie rods, tie rod ends, and swaybar end links.

Then after that - carrier bearing and trans mount

 

What exactly is the purpose and benefit of an oil catch can? Lazy to Google and wondering the purpose. Not an attack at all on your work!

 

Nice beverage holder your Tacoma has.

 

It catches the oil mist that gets recycled back into the intake from the pcv so you get less carbon build up in the intake. It helps keep everything cleaner a bit longer

 

Dude you are your awesome pics are making be mad that I'm stuck at work all day!

 

Which brand?
