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

Drove up to Trans Allegheny lunatic asylum today with my nursing class saw a lot of interesting things and really got to look at how we used to treat those who had mental illnesses way back when. The building was constructed in 1861 Im pretty sure!

 

Repaint them like factory, color matched to mine and polish. No clear coat on the polished part.

 

That's UV fade. Not repainted most likely. Only a hack would have painted with badge on. I recommend buffing with cutting compound then polishing compound.

 

Finally pulled the trigger and ordered heated seats. Not as hard as I thought it would be to install. Going to love it come this winter in northern Alberta.

 

Do you have a link to where you got this?

I bought them off eBay. Came with well done instructions and labelled wires with in-line fuses.

 

HMMMMM your right..I wud be concerned...dont agree with the TBN lo limit..I think 3 is a much safer limit....the molydebdum is freakin crazy.....

I wud send a copyto Amsoil and ask for thier comments/reaction

 

be interesting next time to double sample send the second over to Oil Analyst inc see how close they are

 

Got impatient waiting for the group buy. So I got this faux pro grill from ebay (US seller). It took 3 days from ordering to delivery. Everything arrived in a well packaged box (grill and “TOYOTA” logo)

I will take some more pictures during the day.

 

Did you run a year also?

 

How are you tires? Thats usually a cause for shaking

 

Looking to add a USB port in the cockpit - what's the preferred unit? I prefer something without a back light or otherwise light up glow...No volts indicator needed - just bare bones.
Thanks

 

Both sets, winter and summer, are fine. Checked a few times and balanced.

 

I've had vibes from warped rotors - caused by sticky calipers - pulling to one side, bad mileage, bad tire wear and so on. To the point where I'm on my 3rd set of calipers ad 130K miles. Next brake job will not be cheap but it had better solve my issues or this truck is gone...2006 base model.
Where do you feel it most? Brake pedal, steering wheel or other?

 

Tomorrow will be the true test, when I get on the highway. I felt it all over to be honest. The steering wheel would shake, the truck itself would feel like it would shake... And sometimes it would feel like it would come and go.

Really hoping it was as "simple" as that, rotors and pads. Guess we'll see tomorrow.

 

If the caliper sticks - the rest is just collateral damage...

I'm pissed - every 30K I need to swap calipers? Yeah, no - there's 2 solutions:
better calipers
new truck

I'm done messing around. Why is my POS subject to poor components? Oh, it's the cheap parts used for max mark-up by the shops. Not dropping $700 again - NFW.

 

got this from bullet proof fabricating, expensive if you buy the complete grill but cheaper if you diy.

 

Added an LED light to the bottom side of my tonneau cover but because of the distance from the bed when the tonneau is fully opened I didn't get much flood light from it.... so I ran a LED strip around the bed sides that I found on Ebay for $6. Ran it thru a switch just inside the bed and I do like how it turned out. What do you guys think?
