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

I had an mount, balance and alignment appointment Thursday but I decided to postpone due to a forecasted ice storm. I may wait until the middle of March to put them on the truck.

 

I was going to but I think i have a slow leak in one of mine because i fill it every 2-3 weeks. Its not a lot maybe about 5-6 psi over that stretch of time but I prefer the peace of mind. I also have one tire with 70% tread so i may hang on to that for a while.

 

The mail truck have been dropping goodies for the X; if the weather allows it I'll get the coils installed over the weekend .

 

I really love the low rider Tacos! Not the way I would go but There really aren't that many out there so when I see them I drool. Cant wait to see the end result!

 

Love seeing the x runners pop up. Jealous because you have both. I’ve wanted a rad red x runner to go with my dcsb but just don’t have the extra funds. Good lookin trucks!

 

Used it to haul home a new thing for the garage.



They even knocked a hundred bucks off because some dingus smacked it with a fork while they were loading it.

 

My unicorn is the 2012 xrunner......iirc is last year of the X & only year with facelift

like this only maybe not red, but wouldn't be picky if it was right.........




just bought a super white skewpt hood for my RC so looking out the windshield I can pretend, lol................

 

I'm digging the front bumper. Looks lighter than most, who's the maker?

 

trail gear

 

I put in a new "toy box" this past Christmas... Great work top. Added an "oil absorb" pad and large UHMW cutting board for the bangy stuff.

 

Always dig a good workshop!

 

Washed my truck yesterday and cleaned out the door seals and window tracks. That towel was black as crude oil.



Also shameless plug: for anyone interested, i have a 2nd gen LT kit for sale. Need it gone so I can pay for more mods!

Finally got around to chopping the front body mount!

 

Paid it off! Letting my wife drive it for now until she gets a new car. She wants a 4runner

 

Love the wheels

 

What brand do you have? I mean they are all Chinese-ium crap, but I've seen several brands of this same style and it seems like people have had better luck with some than others.

For mine, no problems adjusting--I just point the truck at a wall with the lights on and use an 8mm 1/4"-drive socket to get them where I want. Haven't had any issues with them moving out of adjustment, even with a moderate amount of wheeling. What issues are you having with adjustment?

I swapped out the bulbs before I installed them (tossed the ones that came with them). They are brighter and more focused than stock on my truck, but that could be due to not using the supplied bulbs.

 

How about a wood shop? My second shop out back from the house... man cave, away from everyone.

 

Digging the pullout bins. I need to find some of those!

 

I got the 66 feet of D shaped weatherstripping did my access cab all around the doors, the strip at the front of the hood and in my cap gap still have about 9 feet leftover.

Hopefully this seems to cut some more noise like people say. A full and thorough Dyna treatment helped a ton already.












Finally got around to using some of the leftover mesh from doing my shatoshi grille to make a leaf and rodent stopper for the HVAC inlet, filter already full if leaves from parking under trees.

It's a mess used 2 zipties in the existing holes and nearly a full tube of FIPG103 but it's sealed solid and won't rust.

Doesn't seem to add any sound or restriction on airflow so that's a plus.







Also added some aluminum wool and screen sections from an over the stove filter to my oil catch can and drilled the drain pipe fitting flush for more complete drainage.

Without something in there this catch can doest catch a whole lot, my first additional filter a sintered bronze insert in the outlet was highly effective but got clogged too quickly, my second attempt didn't do much more than an empty can I'm hoping this will be just right.












I also finally messed with my drive shaft angles again after Archive Hammer Hangers install hopefully it does something for the last little vibes I have looks better eyeballing it.




And I also got some more use out of my ABS/Stability control reset and relearn jumper switch as I hadn't done that since the AGHH install either.



Forgot to add I greased the driveshaft and put some reflective tape on the back as the tail light reflectors are less obvious with the bumper.








Good day of playing with the truck.
