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

Thank you for the additional info. You've definitely put my mind at ease a bit. Now I have to do some research on doing the coolant flush and replacing my brake fluid and I should be done with most of my 100k maintenance. My Tacoma is a 2wd as far as i know I can't lube the U-joints, but that will probably be a problem for another day. I wanted to do all the fluids first and all the write ups on this forum have been incredibly useful in helping me accomplish that.

 

Yeah its not the prettiest mod, but if it works for you does it really matter what it looks like? I like to think that if its functional and you don't plan on selling it then this is perfectly fine. Your favorite cup fits and that is all that matters.

 

Sprint booster. Same like your pedal comander . Like what you got going on there

 

Even your 2wd should have Zerk fittings on the rear driveshaft, especially if they haven't been replaced by Toyota. Some folks, who had u-joints replaced from the TSB (or whatever extended customer care term Toyota uses), got maintenance-free, "lifetime" u-joints. There's that pesky word again...lifetime

 

Resale shmee-sale

 

You have to go to the settings to reset it and set the interval you want. Pretty sure it’ll be under alarms. It’s accurate, but you have to set it.

 

Installed a tailgate assist, and this is definitely one of my best mods! Inspired by @Danny1956 and @Crom.

 

I don't think I've ever seen this design before... Where did you get it, and how much?

 

Got the assist and brackets separately from Amazon.

Installed some stuff today.
Check this out.

 

I think the"lifetime" crap goes with the "sealed" crap..ie no dip stick...I read somewhere awhile back this allows Toyota to not pay some environmental fee per truck ..cant say its true but kinda makes sense....(as much sense as building a truck with no oil pressure gauge.....

 

Giggity giggity

 

Finally finished "making my bed" today. @RelentlessFab bed support/tie down brackets for the front corners, Relentless quickfist mounts for my axe and shovel & Relentless hi lift mount.

 

You could also do the big cup holder mod on shifter bezel . Fits my 40oz hydra flask.

 

I like that, you just cut hole big enough for the "holder" to slide into and it rests on the lip?

 

.Yea . Just need to trim the shifter dust shield or whateva you call it lol. Youll see what I talking about .

Stainless one from walmart black one from west marine

 

Looks awesome, accept for ONE unpainted bolt...............

 

That’s a YouTube thumbnail if I’ve ever seen one. Just missing a giant clickbait caption lol
