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

It's on the 2.7 l engine, Toyota made it out of cheap plastic. It self destructs over time, it's located under the intake manifold. Purchased a medal one $80 and took me about 3 hours to replace it. Not hard, but time consuming! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PugH0wLf5U

 

Here's what it looks like. https://www.ebay.com/i/152995379965?chn=ps

 

I've found mixing auto transmission fluid and lacquer thinner 50/50. Works best for rust frozen bolts/nuts.

 

It’s been 10 years, but I finally have rear bumps back in!

 

First patch of many more!

Thank you @DrFunker

 

Installed my RCI Aluminum Skid Plate

 

Got rid of my Coopers. Had about 40k on them, but they were cupped and loud as hell. It was my fault, I added new coilovers and UCAs and I neglected to take it back in for an alignment. Bit me in the ass. I knew it needed to be done, but I just didn't do it. One of those times where I ignored my better judgement. Oh well, lesson learned. Replaced em with BFG ALL TERRAINS in 285/75/16. I went white letters out. Loving the look

 

We spent the day at the park. Girlfriend’s 4Runner. She has 290k on it and drives like new.
And that Killer B is a badass bike
And yes she rides/races dirt bikes too

 

Usually not a fan of white letters out but this looks great!

 

Finally got around to finishing the last decal removals. Added the door latch covers just 3m stickers on back cover. The rest of the weekend is cleaning camping supplies. Happy weekend everyone .

 

Where did you get the door latch covers ?

 

Welded behind my alignment tabs & slathered on some fluid film.

 

Interested in how involved installing this is.

 

Nice skid plate! Almost ordered one but went with Relentless. I did order the RCI LCA skids in aluminum.

 

I was going to wash it today, but we decided to drive out to the greenway. The kids got to ride their bikes while the wife and I got in about 7 practice miles for an upcoming hike.

Oh, and the Tacoma clicked over 9,000 (yes, only 3 zeros) miles while we were out.

 

Debadged today, it was pretty easy.

 

Debadged and made custom decals to match my wheels

 

Been slowly working on a bed drawer system, and made some more headway today!

Mounted D-rings to the front two bed bolts:

Got the brackets for the turn-buckles mounted to the box:

Did a test fit of the drawers and hung off both them (at the same time) and nothing broke so that's a plus!

These are in-progress shots, the whole system will look nice and clean when finished of course!

 

Thanks! Surprisingly my wife now wants to switch hers around to white letters out. She has the same tires but with Stealth 6s on her 4Runner. Blew me away when she said she wants hers with the white letters out.
