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

Got some gasoline at Costco today. Lowest price I’ve seen.

It was insane at Costco, people buying all kinds of stuff.

 

Replaced all my idler bearings and belt tensioner. Super exciting I know!

I have these waiting... just waiting on upper control arms, leaf springs and a few small things.

 

Thanks man!! I’m so happy the vision worked out for me!!

 

Was ready to pull the trigger on the dirt king kit but this craze going on with the virus is making me want to hold onto the money until things settle down. For now they are just sitting on my couch for me to stare at lol



On a side note, as someone who works as a powder coater and is in the process of starting a powder coating business, the sub par powdercoat job on the Eibach coils is cringe worthy. Big ass hook marks that weren't touched up and also some type of red ink bleeding through the anodized silver due to the lack of care during the prep stage. Surprised Dirt King is content putting their name on these as I've heard nothing but good things about their quality. While I understand this isn't a big deal, literally 30 more seconds of attention to detail would've avoided these flaws and one thing I can't stand is being lazy and cutting corners to get a job done faster

 

30k mile replacement of intake and cab filters. There were a few mouse turds on the cab filter. I hope that bastard hasn’t been chewing on wiring somewhere under the hood.

 

Replace rear shoes and drums the first time on this truck at 170 000 kms

 

Replaced all of the soft parts on my AFE CAI. The rubber gaskets definitely needed to be replace. I love that AFE makes the purchasable kit with everything including new hose clamps to replace rusted ones.

 

At the dealer having the recall done on my leaf springs. Been here almost 3 hours. They said they are having trouble getting the parts off they are stuck on.

 

New here -- installed my new (to me and also free to me courtesy my work) tonneau cover!

 

Welcome!

 

different companies

 

No shit lol

 

sorry my bad, I see now.. lol

 

Did the bed swap
Now I'm trying to sell my old bed, tail gate and chrome bumper.

 

What are you replacing it with?

 

I installed a bed from a 2015 Tacoma. It has less damage than my old one, not that my old bed can't be fixed but I didn't want to spend the time/money to fix the little things wrong with it. It would be perfect for someone that wants to bob it or cut it up for a custom bed or somebody that got rear ended.

 

Installed sliders.

 

Welcome!!

Perfect time to clean & paint the frame!!

 

Too late. Truck is back together.

I did break one small clip which I'll be replacing this week.

The bolts that came out were super rusty. We cleaned them, applied anti-seize and reused them. Then I take out the storage bins and one of them was oddly heavy, I open it up and there are the bolts for the new bed in almost new condition. I'll use them instead when I replace the clip (I have to unbolt the bed to install the new clip).

 

Interesting........................
