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

installed a new-to-me 3rd gen TRD skidplate.

@Joker56ace
Fits perfectly, but differently...

Before I washed the grease off of it. The grey worked out well with my silver 06.

 

Oh snap I'll have to find one now

 

- admired it
- installed factory license plate lights
- adjusted the license plate bracket
- used the tailgate to dry off some de-chromed trim off the Odyssey

 

Thanks to me as well...I was born here!

I was wondering if this skid would fit, thanks for posting! Looks great

 

Looking for info on how to remove the foot rest on my 2014 Tacoma 4x4 Sport. I have done multiple searches
and not finding what I need. I am sure there are threads that show how to do it. I'll take my thrashing now
and admit I could not find it.

In the process of installing the Gentex homelink mirror. Grill removed last night and sensor installed. Next step is the punch through the firewall. I intend to go through the side of the boot where the huge bundle of wires are.

Thanks for your help and any threads and or posts you can show a link to.

 

washed, waxed, and detailed.

I do not usually shine the tires, but I went all in. LoL

Also changed the oil, rotated the ridge grapplers (first 5k rotate) greased the drive shaft and topped off the washer fluid.

you might want to give this a try, I find it lasts a lot longer on mine...

 

I’ve used Fluid Film liberally in my bushings and in between the leafs for quiet springs.

 

My Dakar springs stopped squeaking on their own.

 

Scored some OME Dakar HD for a great price! Really help out the rear end with all the weight in the back. Cleaned them up and painted them and as good as new.

 

IIRC it's basically pressed onto 3 threaded studs on the kickpanel/floor. Maybe get a claw hammer behind it and give it a tug if you can't get your fingers behind it

 

Works every time!

 

Thanks! I'll give that a try.

 

Do you have a link for that flip up license plate bracket?

 

I think @JLee might have some as part of the Pelfrey leftover inventory.

Most expensive and time consuming mod to date.. Need to keep an eye on the battery

 

If you don't find em there, you can use a Pilot p/n FLP-001 (Walmart should have em, you can

$52 Pilot FLP001 License Plate Flip Kit For Roll Pan

order from Amazon as well); like $13USD

 

I think a claw hammer is overkill, but just take a large flat screwdriver, get under the plastic and just pop it off.
It is well attached by the 3 stud like things, it will take some force, but there is no mechanical fasteners

 

I only said hammer because of the curve for leverage/angle. Not everyone has plastic interior tools or pry tools.
