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

Simple, yet effective. Only red kydex I had laying around, but gets the point across. Little bit of double sided tape and good to go

 

Went out to get some sun

 

Detailed. Obligatory not today, but recently had 2021 TRD Pro wheels installed.

@Baja Designs Squadron Sport White Combo ditch lights with SDHQ hood brackets coming soon.

 

Swapped headlight bulbs and installed SS3 sports, KC G4’s in amber will be for sell shortly.

 

How fast will that sail move your rig?

 

This weekend i removed my crappy Caliraised chinese led bar and installed something more bullet proof that wont be fogging up in the rain or snow.

 

I might be interested in the G4s if the price is right.

 

7 months yes, but $100 to put in the order, then the rest is due at the time it is going to be built for you. Or if you look at it this way. There are a lot of companies now saying 3-4 months and then you still don't get it until the 6th month. Best investment I have ever made. I have had the wilco before and I am sooooo happy I got rid of it for this. This thing is precision. Even with the 7 month lead time, you could set aside $300 a month for 7 months instead of paying for all up front and hope that you get it in time or fight to get it back if something happens to the business (M.T. Offroad).....cough cough lol. Morgan at At The Helm does not rely on other people to make his stuff and his customer service and communication is amazing.

 

Oil change and tire rotation:

 

Got my new uptop overland rack installed, and it f-ing rocks. No highway noise whatsoever, even with a pelican case mounted to it. Rock lights are going up in a week or so, and I'm gonna fabricate some aluminum handles.

 

192K on my 13’ Prerunner. On Saturday I changed all plugs, did a full throttle body cleaning, air filter cleaning, changed oil and filter. Truck drives and runs as good if not better than when I first purchased it more than 7yrs ago. Think I’m going to stick to changing plugs and continue to clean the throttle body every 30k-50k miles. Went with Denso U11 plugs, gapped at 0.040 out the box.

 

Took her camping and off-roading up Red Cone, Webster Pass, Deer Creek, and Middle Fork of the swan River outside of Breckenridge. It’s nice feeling more comfortable on “difficult” rated trails.

 

Did @crashnburn80 ’s Gy6.35 HIR 921 reverse light upgrade with the Osram 35w gy6.35 HIR bulbs. Quite a big improvement in light output & took like 1/2 hr at most.

Started my 150k mile service. Just did a complete interior detail, cleaned the air filter, MAF sensor and the throttle body. I also replaced the cabin filter and cooked a steak. As one does

 

Installed my IronMan awning finally. Still have a winch waiting to be installed when I wanna deal with my heavy ass bumper.

 

Surprised you didn’t include a photo of your cast iron skillet.

 

Finally got to drive it today

 

I was too busy cooking, almost didn't take a photo of my steak. Ended up using a bit too much butter, flavor was a bit on the salty side. Next time I'll probably cut down to a 1/6th stick of butter, and I'll use a non salted instead of the salted.

 

Still to do:
Front and rear diff fluid change
Transfer Case fluid change
Transmission fluid change
Power Steering and Coolant flush (I don't think this has ever been done on my truck)
Spark Plugs
Serp Belt (Why not)
Grease zerks
Maybe fit in one little mod?
Who knows, I just started school again and books are expensive as f*ck

 

“More or less” finished my @WarFab Armor chop kit / winch tray. Yes - I plan on adding tubes, but not right now. I couldn’t be happier with this approach angle and overall clearance. Everything is as high/tight as possible without absolutely major fabrication done. This was my first fab project and I’m so satisfied with the outcome. Still adding 4 grade8 bolts to hold the bumper to the chassis, haven’t wrestled those in their spots yet, but wow this is so freaking tucked, matching the rear now.
