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

So Saturday I replace my belt at 260 000kms and did an oil change, found out my tensioner failed belt wasn't getting any tension drove and 1.5 hours to get a new one and got idler pulleys to. Replace tensioner and pulley and belt on Sunday. Only took 3 hours total.

 

But, but.... are those OEM?

Just fun'n. I feel your effort. Kudos.

 

One of the lights in my AC switch cluster failed so it’s been hard to find the settings in the dark.



Found the replacement bulbs on Amazon and took 5 minutes to pop out the switch panel, take out the old bulbs, and put in the new ones.

 

Oem who has the money for the stealershit?

 

Link to which you used?

 

Installed the ARB threaded 12volt outlet for fridge. Very convenient to know it will always be plugged in and not fall out like the typical 12volt cigarette socket.

 

Installed new brake pads on the front. TRD Part #

$141 PTR09-89111 Toyota Brake Pad - PTR09-89111

PTR09-89111. I had EBC greenstuff pads before and really liked them but they wore quickly, only had 42,000 miles on them and they were down to the metal clip.

Changing out rear shocks... been working on the front end as well. Trucks at 227k miles with original shocks and was seriously in need of an overhaul. Now i'm looking at replacing the leaf springs and maybe the coil springs because I ended up reusing those

 

In honor of the first forecasted snowfall of the year here in WI I put the mudflaps back on. Trimmed them last year when I put them on. Good thing we got the Krown resprayed last week

 

Got my compressor installed before heading out to Moab. I won the compressor 5 years ago and FINALLY got it in. Having kids really slows things down!

 

Just another oil change. Knocked the engine air filter against my hand to get the big stuff out. Need to replace it soon. Checked the usual fluids. Forgot to grease the driveshaft so I'll probably do that tomorrow

 

Hopefully this is my last question about replacing my suspension, but here we go.

I am going to replace the rear leaf springs with some 2021 takeoffs in a couple of days with only a few thousand miles on them. My current springs are the TSB with 45K miles on them. Should I add an add-a-leaf to them or no? I just don't want to be "drooping" in the rear after replacing all of the suspension with the 2021 Struts and Springs.

Love that low lift big tires look

 

Good call. I should put my fronts back on. I’m surprised my truck hasn’t rusted more, being a northern taco. Still on the original frame unlike most 2nd gens

 

Just a rinse. It'll get a proper wash before the snow but this is prime trail weather so it's constantly dirty.
