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

Spent the weekend installing them Kings! Also converted my Dakars to a “heavy” pack and added Wheeler’s super bumps

 

Then I successfully changed the rear diff and transfer case fluid. And successfully stripped out and F***ed up the front diff drain plug. Got it out with a pipe nipple extractor. Now I have to wait until tomorrow to go to the dealer to get a new plug and get fluid back into the front diff.

 

Ended the day by restoring the headlights in my wife's Carolla.

 

Where did you get it?

Installed the ECGS bushing, New front diff seal, drained and filled the front and rear diff and the transfer case.

 

Started working on frame resto. It's not bad I think it's been replaced but I want to stop the rust in its tracks. The whole thing is getting the wire wheel, then 2 coats rust reformer and a coat of rustoleum pro enamel. This is what it will look like I did a test spot with that setup. Gonna take the bed off and everything. Of course it's getting fluid filmed when complete. Not bad for an '06.

 

Just for reference no impact to the cab and that was after going out going through this. Twisted and turned every which way no touching whatsoever.

 

Greased all my zerks and refurbished the mudflaps to mall crawler perfection

by the way just ordered some 15 Pro headlights part numbers
8115004221 left
8111004221 right

I stumbled upon another part number
for a left Pro headlight, 8115004181.
What’s the dealio? Is one more preferred than the other.
I assume there is a matching right with a different part number from the right I ordered as well?
Thanks

 

What did you use for the lettering?

 

One comes loaded with bulbs.

 

White paint marker

 

How are you liking the Toyo AT3’s in the snow? Picked up a used set, haven’t got them mounted yet.

 

Spent about 10 min installing this storage net from flat irons overland. Should work great to keep my kids hats, gloves and such off the floor & dogs seat

I gave in and swapped to a pro grille. Been enjoying the new look

 

You order the Lexus front diff bolt?

 

Thanks. I decided to just pay a shop to do it. . I looked around apparently most shops will do it for a few 6 packs worth of craft beer.

 

What made you pick the grand Teton over Prinsu? I’m torn between the two, they look the best

Prinsu might look 1% better but Sherpa is thicker wider stronger (no homo)
Prinsu also has lightbar cutout and new vinyl graphics but anyone can make that
