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

PSA - IF YOU NEVER USE YOUR MECHANICAL KEY INTO YOUR DOOR LOCKS TO UNLOCK YOUR DOORS, HIT IT WITH SOME LUBRICANT AND WORK THAT KEY & WHISPER NICE THINGS TO IT ***** before you get locked out of your truck because the locks are old and dry and starving for attention / lube every once in a while. Tri flow saved me an embarrassing call to the locksmith.

I ordered the scoop. I recently trimmed my fenders and pulled my oem liners. My CAI's power stack is now exposed inside my fenders. Although I made new liners I'm afraid it'll still get mucked up pretty quick. What did you use to plug the hole in your wheel well from the intakes stock location? I'm thinking of this plumbing test plug.

 

Bought a pair of .75" Bora spacers off another member. Figured why not widen the stance a little. Installed them today and immediately started rubbing on the cab mount where I did not rub before......needless to say, I'm selling a pair of gently used Bora .75" spacers. DM if you're interested.

 

Installed the URD fuel upgrade kit with a walbro 255lph pump. I was getting pretty bad mileage and a lot of surging and stumbling issues. Old pump filter was absolutely disgusting.

 

Long day but fun. First I installed Redline hood struts. I am so happy I finally did. But I should have waited because they kept getting in my way after.
Next I took my time installing a cowl intake and cutting 3 big holes in the truck. I sealed up the cowl area with steel mesh and used an old licenses plate with sound deadening and mesh to seal the cabin intake.
Used mounts from Sherpa to mount my high lift on the rack.
Installed a Mirror riser and seat jackers on the passenger seat. (not pictured)
and painted my popNlock. I am pretty sure I used the wrong paint so we will see how long it holds up. I also took a long time trying to figure out why it wont lock unless I wiggle the handle but I think its just worn so I will probably replace it soon anyways.

 

Why the hell would you leave bc for Alberta? Only thing I can think of is cheaper fuel lol

 

Just installed some Bilstein 5100 rear shocks and some KSP 1.25" wheel spacers yesterday. Really happy with the subtle adjustment the wheel spacers brought. Next up I am installing Bilstein's on the front end to give it 2-2.5" of lift.

 

Well another trip to Moab in the books. And to quote my wife “That was really lame wasn’t it?” And the answer is yes.



We had reservations to camp an few nights in Canyonlands, but she had a work trip pop up so we changed plans and ran the Rimrocker Trail from Montrose, CO to Moab.

And to be honest it was quite bland. Lots of really easy trails, some pavement. And the end towards Moab was super bone-rattling rocky and over grown. There are prettier trails in the Uncompagre, and probably 100 more scenic trails in Moab.

We ran it. And found a cool camp spot, but I will not be running that trail again, nor actually even recommend it to anyone.

These two were the highlight of the trip


Otherwise it was fine but not amazing.

Yea that intake hole is still there lol. I have some material left over from the splash guard mod I just did and plan to just take some sheet metal screws to a piece and cover it.

 

Flushed the brake fluid after about 30k since the PO had a brake job done.

 

I just used a patch of sound deadening to cover it up.

 

I just the cowl intake mod and I just covered that hole with some good old duck tape.

 

Thanks. I looked at a different company's webpage with the same name spelled differently quickly and didn't catch that.

 

For the …. (6th time?!) I changed up my dedicated spare setup. I’ve gone through many iterations of this and for my personal use and how I pack my truck for wheeling and camping (which only consists of PLANO/Costco totes in the bed). I have finally settled on this exact location in the bed instead of literally any other spot for so many reasons. I can easily put my mtb on the DS hanging over the tailgate & my totes filling the L shaped void along the spare. This makes me very happy. Drilling holes in the bed & adding D ring mounts is so easy. My son helped me out too which is cool. Also, going to keep a new dedicated DD / off-road JACK in the truck under the back seat instead of my old large platform bottle jack. This jack goes 9” to 18” which is literally perfect. Also got rid of the ULTRA HD 3 way SDHQ Y strap holding the spare down in trade for a $6 10ft single strap from harbor freight.

 

Always a plus when the kiddos get to help in the garage.
