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

Haven't installed the fender yet. I'm hopefully doing that this weekend.

 

I loaded the bed rack, tent, and awning. Then packed the back end with camping stuff in prep for this weekend. Late to the camping party this year thinking I would have my trailer further along but first time out for the season.

 

Bought my 2013 a new gf!
2013 Toyota Camry SE , 1 local owner, 39k, 4cyl, no winters! My friend in town who owns an old school garage found it for me. He had been looking for a year. Now both can have a long lasting relationship together!
The happy couple.

 

I did the same thing last night. Headed out camping for the weekend after work. All I have to do is throw the fridge, battery pack, cloths and the gf into the truck and we are out! O and I'll place the pup nicely in the back seat.

 

Balanced and rotated tires after 5k (new tires) and had alignment done (previous alignment shops work was in question ) - Steering rack may need to be replaced, going to check bushing this weekend, when they would push up on the tie rods felt there was a lot of play? is this an inner tie rod issue or rack issue? they adjusted/added a little toe in to help compensate for the perceived play in the steering rack, until I can decide what I want/need to do.

 

Samesies but I put my fridge in for the first time last night. First time not using a cooler so Im Stoked!

 

Changed brake pads and rotors last night.

 

Redline Tuning hood struts were 20% off on Prime Day so I swapped out my tired 6-yr old ones for a new pair that actually lifts the hood again.

 

Dang wish I saw that. Another thing thats on my list to get.

 

My boss just surprised me with this bad ass bonus for not bitching about anything

 

I picked up a set. Now to get them installed.

 

You'll be kicking yourself that you didn't grab some sooner.

 

Did your boss steal the batteries?

 

lmao that's what I was thinking...

 

Yeah I was wondering why the security tag was still on it also. O well

 

How about a "what have you already done since you bought your truck just a few weeks ago"? I couldn't wait to get my hands dirty Pics of the day I bought it vs today.

New alternator and belt install today. Tech deck and RAM Mounts tomm. It's shaping up into a taco buffet this weekend.

 

I think the only time I miss it is when I have a lot of weight. When I am loaded for a trip with RTT etc, it feels really tippy. I just have to slow down more on curves.

 

Got my AJT Design fob. They make some quality products!

 

Yeah I can see that. The only thing that I’m concerned about is losing control in an emergency maneuver. I just put my wheel spacers on so I probably won’t rub the antisway bar anymore. I might put it back on when I install my engine skid plate. That would be a good time to do it.
