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

M8x1.25

 

How long?

 

M8-1.25x20mm I believe.

FYI, from what I've found searching for them for my 4runner (same bolt), is that the OEM replacement is expensive but one from the hardware store is much cheaper but will use a size 13 socket and not a 12 like oem. So you will probably just have to deal with that. Or replace them all. The OEM ones are self tapping and strip easily.
You can get a pack of 20 from McMaster carr for like $12 and then they will all be size 13 and all be better bolts.

 

Haven't "done" anything yet today besides order a whole bunch of stuff for my upcoming 90k service...

 

Very impressed with the sound and power gains. Mid-range and top end very noticeable difference. Throttle response is much more better, seems to rev much freely now. Gets up to 100kmh with ease now. Only problem now is, P0137 code, found the leaks where the y-pipe meets the stock manifolds. Next year I’m definitely doing the URD SPEC-Headers with a tuner just don’t know which one yet lol!

 

New intake manifold gaskets, head gaskets and knock sensor.

I did get to paint match my grille before all that went down.

 

How many miles on your truck?

 

@Gen2Tacoma 165k

 

Mine only had the 4 holding up the factory skid & needed 2 to hold up back of pelfreybilt skid. & I lost them lol. Just want to get 1 of my skids in place. Currently my truck has no skid at all

 

I used Killmatt 50ml from Amazon.

 

2.5” equal length y-pipe into 3” piping.

 

COSTCO is having a Tire sale $150 off a set of 4 Michelin tires. The Chinese one that CarMax put on my Tacoma at 27L to sell are close the the wear bars at 55K. While I have no complaints about the tires. Couldn't pass up a chance on the Michelin. Ordered Michelin X LT All Season will be here in 10 days or so have appointment to have them installed on the 28. $731 installed. At age 78 those may be the last set I buy for any of my cars. All have new tires this year. Love to know the full story of this truck, was in perfect condition with one scratch and all recalls done by previous owner it still smelled like a new truck, but it was missing floor mats, manual, bed rail hold downs, Trailer brake harness (has tow package) Have the Marony sticker and all service records so I know what was there originally It still had the TRD Beadlocks and new Leaf Springs in back. It went through the auction so I think some were along the way someone replaced or added stuff from my truck to theirs. Wondered what happened to original owner. Carfax is clear so it is a puzzlement.

 

It's an AC thing man, we all get that moment occasionally....

 

Yep! Same link you originally shared. Thanks again for that. And good to hear - I figured for 250 bucks, I can't go wrong.

 

I had the frame crc done this past week. I do not see how this alone will help, as you can see there is a lot of rust near all the welds. I do clean my frame from underneath constantly. Next step is to treat the frame my self from home - once the rains stop! I also had the needle bearing replaced. More for peace of mind than anything. Lastly, did the rear diff breather extension. Now to enjoy the truck. Cheers





Happy Saturday Tacoma World!

 

Yeah that was my point earlier... I have more rust outside of frame then inside. I hope Toyota ain't thinking we're dumb or something? I think I'm gonna call them up & find out what this does & how it does something cut that to me looks pointless!

 

Same thing they did to mine and like you I don’t know what they think this is going to do.

 

Nothing much, just washed and added UV protectant to my Okeles. And of course, vacuumed the interior while the seats were out.

 

Chased a pop from the front, damn LH Total chaos UCA pivot bolt lost torque. Will check more often.

 

Installed stop tech brake pads and rotors and painted calipers also smashed the pinch weld for 33s in a week or so.
