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

I wish I could link that to my remote start too. Man that's be excellent

 

Completed Black Bear Pass today - Epic adventure /bucket list item. Put to test all the work I have been doing to my truck. Everything worked flawlessly and performed as expected.

 

Installed a little peace of mind

 

is this CA

why not just get an actual off road skidplate

 

I got as a set for all 4 doors, 8 pieces total. Each handle is 2 pieces. All the long handle pieces had the same part number. The little pieces had different part numbers for front doors but the same part number for the rear doors.

 

I really like the cooper discoverer tire brand & had a SUPER hard time deciding between the two when buying my new tires recently but still ended up going with my Toyo open country all terrains which we’re almost the same price, My last tires were the Nitto Terra grapplers that I really did NOT care for to be honest, so many places I’d have to throw my truck in 4x4 with those Nittos that I couldn’t get out of in 2wd but now with my Toyos I’ve gone back and jump right out, really crazy how just a little tiny bit different tread design makes a world of difference! I love my Toyos but next time around I’ll be going with the coopers just out of curiosity!!

 

VERY smart!! I’ll be following suit the next time I change my front diff fluid, I have no idea what would posses Toyota to use that Hex plug? Just a nightmare waiting to happen, I was sooooooo nervous when I did my last drain of my front diff with that thing, thanks for posting this I’ll definitely be getting that new bolt. Thank you!! Cheers!!

 

switched out the pro grille insert with the original one. i do this every so often

You can find them on eBay also.

 

Installed @Dirt King Fab Performance LCA. Had to Sawzall my front cambolts bc they were seized. These arms are stout and everything lined up perfectly. Now I need an alignment.

 

I couldn’t find any available for purchase from the US. It took about 2 and a half weeks for the radio to show up. The website was out of stock so I purchased mine from their eBay store. The dash kit it built into the radio and fits all 05-15 Tacomas. It also comes with a pre made wiring harness that also fits all 05-15 Tacoma’s so you’ll have extra plugs that you don’t use.

Here is the model I bought.

Tried this stuff today. Let's see how long it lasts.

 

DO NOT use MEK!! MEK could dissolve the flare and it is highly carcinogenic. I use Coleman fuel for sticker residue. Using a pair of gloves, put some on a rag and hold it on the area to give it some time to loosen the adhesive. It will take some tie, but will work. I use CF on all kinds of materials to get price stickers off and it does not attack the surface. The soaking in Goo Gone sounds like it works as well.

 

Use this with microfiber or handheld buffer at a low speed.

Great idea, but pricey.

 

Looks great! Which model Joying is that?

 

Installed the 2Lo Module

 

Installed a curt hitch receiver today. All tacomas produced should include tow packages IMO, but oh well. Also picked up an OEM bed mat last month!

 

Finally got around installing these.

Old vs new hardware.
