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

Finally completed the exterior portion of my build, after installing these sexy taillights. Now it’s time to move onto the interior, starting with leather seats! Here’s some cool pics of the truck:

 

Thanks.

 

I clean the engine 3 or 4 times a year. So it stays pretty clean. I have a pump sprayer with the water and SG mix. I always clean it when it's cold. The engine compartment is not a sealed environment. It's designed to take on moisture to some degree.

I usually wet the front end and fenders with water 1st. Then I soak the entire engine down with the SG and let it sit for about a minute then rinse it with low pressure water from the garden hose. I've got one of those hose attachments that has multiple settings. I use the one that's gentle...like watering flowers or something.

Fire it up and let it run for a minute or so. Shut it down. At this point you can towel off the black parts if you want. It'll look better if you do.

I don't need to really brush anything because I keep it pretty clean to begin with. If your situation is tougher you might need to and/or use something a little stouter than SG.

Don't use any high pressure. That's about all you have to avoid. Oh, and 1 other thing. If you have the 4.0 V6, pull the oil filter collar plug so the water can drain. Stick it back in when you're done.

 

what rims and size you got there?, looking good!

 

Gorgeous rig man!

 

Took the GF tent camping over the weekend. Not her normal cup o' tea. Having room for tons of crap sure helped.

 

Didn't do much but put on flag decals

 

Leave it and love it for a bit, looks tits, and you won't spend as much lol

 

How many miles on those pulleys ?

 

Thanks for choosing us! They look great.

 

Tape them off.. Super easy

 

Installed an aFe scoop with an aluminum 90 degree 4" pipe into the stock air cleaner on Friday before hitting the road and spending the weekend camping in the San Juans. So much room for activities (aka second battery) where the old intake was.

 

Original pulleys, almost 95k.

 

Another simple one. BPF shroud.

 

Never seen that one

Does it help??

 

Just put on. Not sure it will make a huge difference but should push that air thru the fan shroud. Once I hit the highway I’ll do an update if it helps cooling at all.

 

no magnetic tray?

 

Washed, quick vacuum & interior cleaning/detailing and cleaned windows. 303 on the Tonneau.


And applied some of this.

 

Had A.R.E. MX topper installed today...
