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

Finally installed the extended rear stainless steel braided brake lines from Headstrong Off Road. Cleaned up the axle and gave it a quick spray can job.

 

I just did the same as @outxider but mine are from trail gear. I need to.bleed the brakes again since the tubing I bought wasnt tight enough

 

So very little room at the top connection, but glad it’s finally done.

 

Kudos dude that's a proper JDM wifey car!

 

Dried up so I had time to hit the trim, Tonneau Cover, etc. with 303.

 

Installed the AJT climate control/4WD knobs. Crazy how much better those feel, and I’m thoroughly happy with them already.

 

Picked up a Slope meter the other day.

 

How was it?

 

Rear HC bumper install yesterday

 

Got a fresh prinsu from @TacoFett, in excellent shape!
Was scared it was gonna start raining, so I held off and then finished pretty much in the dark.

 

The top connection was a pain due to lack of space but doable. I use plastic plugs to close off the lines to minimize brake fluid dripping. Bled the brakes, went for a test drive and everything was good.

 

Every video I've seen makes it look like a nightmare. What caps did you use?

 

I used these. Another pro tip, use a good flare nut wrench. I had an old flare nut wrench and it wouldn't grip the nut well enough and kept slipping. Picked up a good set on Amazon and it was cake.

Used it to haul a quad for my girlfriend's little brother...

 

Its not that hard, just requires really akward positions. I was sore from the wierd positions required to get the upper ones off and back on for a couple days.

 

Ran over my mail box, wtf

 

I don't like this, but it made me laugh.

 

Drove it to my Niece's house, again. Had to change the spark plugs on her car.
Over the last few days, I have been getting the smell of oil through the A/C. I replaced a PCV hose thinking that was the leak but it must still be leaking.
During my drive yesterday I stopped in to Toyota and picked up the valve cover gasket set. Of course it had to rain today

 

Fabricated and test fitted a mount for some lights behind the grill (yes I know that it'll filter out some of the light....no need to point it out). Pulled it out for a couple of tweaks, and coats of flat black. Hopefully I can get them wired up today. Turns out with my lo pro bumper its gotta be EITHER a light bar, or a winch. There can be only one, so the behind grill lights are my alternative. Next step, winch.
