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

I wouldn't put one on, without skids, in fear of it getting knocked off or open. The engine would cook before you even realized it. Even if you do not off road, you could still catch a stick just right or a rock falling off a dump truck.

Just my paranoid 0.02.

 

As posted above, I could see some fear in it catching on something and ripping off. With that said, I have one with the short nipple and I absolutely love it. Oil changes couldn't be easier I literally don't need any tools to do the job.

 

My son and I fabbed up some bed rail plates for quick fists...was a good lesson in building a jig, and he needed the welding practice.




Going to do a set for the Hi Lift next.

 

100% for them vibrating loose. I didn't want to lose a shackle on the road because the damn pin backed out.

 

I've got Fumoto's current

$37 F103N with LC-10 lever clip FN-Series Engine Oil Drain Valve, 1 Pack

F103N and love it but I run it with full skids so it's protected. I've got their new F113S on the way which is supposed to address the slow oil draining that the previous models had.

 

I went short nipple. It's still above the cross member right by it.

 

All of this nipple talk is very distracting.
In all seriousness though, I will be installing a short nipple valve on my next oil change.

 

Build me one that fits with my sleeper set up and I'd bite

 

Fixed the back up switch, lg1 fuse and threw in some "super bright" reverse lights that I got for christmas. Broke the tail light in the process but oh well.

 

I've been using one for awhile and love it

 

There is a new model that actually drains in less then 30 min now?!

 

I'll have to time it before I can attest to that bold claim.

 

you have a pic?

 

I run Fumotos on everything I can (except my adventure bike, because the bash plate got in the way) - I usually run short nipple, but I also don't need to connect hoses to most things. Yes, they're slower than an unobstructed bolt, but they're also not messy.

 

Not much room at all

 

my humble efforts.....

but I can provide instructions

1. purchase from store
2. open box remove contents
3. open bag remove contents
4. open bottle remove contents
5. proceed to fit bag and sew .......if ya can still see it


Actually the only part from the bag is the label portion, the new bags are cheap...the rest the material I got from a local shop....bags can be bought from Amazon..

 

Changed out the stock charger for this USB fast charger. Cut the stock wires and wired into them. Had to dremel out the hole so it could fit.

Tweeker avoidance tool, lol that's a new one.

 

I got long nipple. It is just above my skid plate, easier to attach a hose to.

 

I should do this. I like having my phone up on the dash, but with wireless apple car play I don't really need it... Would be nice to toss it down there and have it charging the whole time..
