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

Go away

 

I retired from the Department of Defense. We literally had people that slept at their desk in my office. Had some that ran their side business from their desk. I would work 3 vendor contracts per day while some milked out 3 days on a single contract. Management said they had different expectations of different employees of the same pay grade. They said it was our job to make them work. That is pure Federal BS. Having spent over 13 years in private industry management jobs, as well as another 29 years as a machinist and inspector, I hated seeing thieves stealing their pay from my, and your, tax dollars. When I ran a shop crew in the DoD machine shop they would ask me to come in Saturdays, do 3 hours of work, and send me home with 12 hours of overtime pay. I wouldn't put too much thought on 1 guy that is killing time while awaiting work. That is not that big of a deal. By the way one of those sleepers in my DoD office has been promoted 3 times since I retired. He was twice kicked back to that office job while he still received the pay of his promoted positions. Government waste exists in a much larger scale than 1 guy working on his truck. Worry about yourself, as I always did, and work as you would expect others to work. I retired knowing that I had a solid work ethic and contributed 100% to the greater good. If you go through life worrying about everyone else you will just be a miserable person in the end.

 

replaced my HVAC Fan Blower Motor Resistor for the 3rd time now, but i realized how burnt the connection to the climate control panel was, so i replaced that as well, along with a new connector. I hope that resolves the issue.

 

The husky liners are a great fit within the floor pans. Molded really well. Easy to take out to clean and catch pretty much everything that falls off my boots when I get in the truck.

 

Had Husky liners in 4 Tacomas and 2 F150 trucks. That is the only brand I buy. Pictured in my 2016 and 2008.

 

I couldn’t find any well made floor liners for my 2013. I did find these & was going to buy them soon

Same ones I have in my 2008 and 2012. Had them over 5 years in my 2016. Bought 2008 and 2012 in 2021. 1st thing I bought was Husky liners for both trucks.

 

@Kolter45 that looks like a pretty good deal. I paid close to the same and didn’t get the rear liner…

It is everywhere that you will ever work. Problem in the government is they don't fire people that should be fired. They promote them. Whether it is the bosses lame son, or the stupid cousin, or the guy that puts out 25%, it is a fact of life. If you are a good worker then you just turn away, like me, and give them a solid days work for an honest days pay. Even someone like yourself, working as a fry cook at McDonalds, I bet there are people around you that half-azz work. If you are not a fry cook then keep working hard and one day you will be one.

 

Rear diff oil, front diff oil, power steering fluid refresh, greased drive shaft, and parked next to some bros at The Home Despot.

 

Painted the Baja wheel rings, don’t worry it’s only plastidip

 

Stuffed it full of Blackberry brambles.

 

See if this design lasts any longer. They're ticked up waaay higher so

 

Did you make these yourself? I’m looking at removing my fenders soon.

 

Changed the oil and hooked up my new winch. Tested the winch and promptly disconnected it. Going to need to replace my battery before using the winch.

 

Spun the tires.

I thought it was generally used w/motor running.
