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

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.

 

Considering before I became a pilot I worked in a private woodworking shop building architectural wood windows, I really dig your man cave!!

 

I can fully agree with this. As a professional who deals mostly in addiction treatment, I see it all the time. Lowered bank accounts, multiple excuses to loved ones, Hypervigilance and impulsiveness of wanting to buy a lift without using the search function, an increased behavior in "cutting"......things off of their truck to modify it when it isn't paid off yet....it truly is a disease

 

Finally a decent day, cleaned my truck up some.

 

Trail Gear offroad, 152 lbs. I can pick it up and carry it by myself no problem.

 

Okay, I was most likely just having problems with the bulbs that came with it and I probably just need to spend a little more time adjusting them, thanks

 

Sold all of my woodworking equipment and converted to metalworking equipment years ago

 

OH YEAH!

 

Excited to see these on the truck!

 

You dont know how true that statment is lol

 

Met up with my wife at lunch for some mall crawling. Unfortunately the front/rear camera mod I planned for the taco just went to her bus. So this post is more aptly named “What I didn’t do to my 2 gen.” Although, I did recently swap out the bed rack for the shell.

 

New clutch pad. OEM for 5 bucks! Didn’t think Toyota had an item that cheap.

 

Crush washers for front/rear diff's and trans are cheaper...

 

CHRISTMAS!!!!!

 

My parts guy usually just gives them too me. Course I think I've put his kids through college at this point.

 

3rd gen running boards finally installed. Hoping the aluminums last longer than the steel nFabs did.

 

You know you have an addiction problem when you’re attending the Bris of your

Just don't smack them into basalt, granite, balsa wood, etc......

 

lol well the nFabs rusted out so that's what I'm worried about. I don't bash baby into anything except snowbanks at the mall!

 

Shopping cart granny is gonna get ya!! I also had nFabs that were really nice, but I graduated to RCI full frame mounted sliders because I hate granny!
