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

I would like to get in the practice of DIY - just want to make sure I am doing it right!

I've done alot of the work on my BMW F800GS (brakes, oil, adding electrical components, armor installation), so I hope to build up to that on my Taco. Did the spark plugs recently, and am gonna just go slow.

Thanks for the support!

 

What USB port is that?

 

Got off work and started hanging out with her. She’s my speaker

 

I think after seeing those wheels on my truck twin, I may be over the F5s I always wanted.

Try getting under the truck and jiggle all the drive shaft sections front and back if anything moves its most likely a bad u-joint and its bad to the point of replacing. got any video of the rattling? is it like a faint rattle or is it very noticeable?

 

I have been getting water condensation in my passenger headlight all winter. Since i had to pop off the headlight to I figured i may as well retrofit them to projectors before resealing them.




Also, I'm having trouble getting the high beams to work. When i was testing them out on a spare car battery i had they worked fine, but when i plug them into the harness in the truck nothing. Any pointers will be appreciated

 

Clicked my 5100s to .85 with 885s to get an inch of front lift back after front bumper and 4x4 conversion. Rides fine, is definitely a full 3 inch lift now, especially with the dakars on rear

 

Washed, polished, and waxed today

 

I have the Eibach 2.5" lift coils but my lift in the front is down to about 1.5" now with all the extra weight and I have been considering doing the same thing. Honestly, it would only be for looks as everything works really well the way it is. The 4" of lift in the rear gives it quite a bit of rake though

Its literally a free mod of you have a spring compressor. Seeing as your only adding spring preload I didnt feel the need for an alignment afterwards as well. Putting it at .85 brought front end up exactly 1 inch and that was after I drove it awhile to settle front end.

 

Thanks i dont have a compressor but the neighbor does I might just have to tackle this no hurry though not going anywhere

 

It's not the bulbs it's the shitty design light and reflector

 

I think mine were sylvania. Guess I got ripped off. I had flush mounts on my Mazda they were like driving lights

 

I will get under there tomorrow. In the meantime, here is a crappy video, very faint, but you can hear the rattle as I accelerate: https://youtu.be/I2y-GaQgf9Q

 

How did you get the condensation out/fix the leak? Also where did you get that front tow point set up?

 

skip the compressor. Loosen the LCA bolts and use it as the compressor. Wayyyy safer than those janky compressors. Unless your neighbor has a hydraulic press then use that

 

X2.. did this method for my lift install. Very easy and felt much safer than when I've used those spring compressors in the past that you rent at autozone or oreillys. Do a search, there are some good videos on it.

 

Yeah he has the hydraulic press type it’s easy and pretty safe
