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

Installed a roof rack today. So far I hear no noise from it going 65 on the interstate.

 

Further tour through Utah into Colorado. Drove to the Bentonite hills and got to do my first mild water crossing. Spent time in The Maze of Canyonlands. Also drove the Schafer trail to Moab with the sun setting (interesting experience when it gets dark) and checked out Black Canyon NP in CO amongst other things.

 

37’s or 40’s?

 

37s

 

those are some big 35’s

 

Oh she thicc!

 

Anyone able to point me to a thread about swapping to 4Runner brakes, ideally with PNs? Looking at upgrading my front brakes on the next brake job

 

think this was it... well the last one, i know there are others but cant remember what its called

Just bought a Gen 2 this past week! Can't wait for the mods!

 

Pro wheels yesterday, wanted to change up the look.

 

Little more done on the front bumper, including the linear actuator to adjust the aim of the spot beams on the fly.

Front and rear diff, transfer case and transmission fluid changes. Finally upgraded the front diff hardware to the Lexus plugs.

Need to order more retrofit parts to fix a headlight issue *again

Lowered my tire pressure a bit for winter, topped off washer fluid and power steering fluid.

 

Fluid film

 

resealed lower oil pan

to my surprise
1. dirty inside
2. some debris at pickup screen

surprising because I don't know where the debris came from
and my heads looked brand new when I pulled the valve covers

So I'm not sure if this is normal, or means I should up my OCI from 5k syn to something like 2.5k or 3k
which would not bother me as oil is cheap or free

 

Finished buttoning up the rear bumper yesterday. I still need to remount the flares but I need to repair a couple of the mounting points on the insides of both rears. Was planning on trimming both front and rear while they were off but think that might wait until spring. Also repainted the grill surround and emblem. Gave it a quick bath this morning.

 

You the original owner? Could do an engine flush. If you’re using synthetic 5k oil changes are perfectly fine.

 

not original owner
already did a flush

have thought about doing another with a different brand, and/or additive

who knows maybe it's normal to see it in that area not looking the cleanest
or oil becoming black quickly which is normal, and causing that

 

I installed the Wheeler's U-bolt flip kit with Superbumps today. I also cut off the tailpipe just after the axle and painted the end of it with high-temp black spray paint. Next up is some 275/70/17s.

 

1. Will not allow me to post on buy/sell/trade. Keeps giving me a title error message. So I figured id post it on here if it doesn't violate the rules since I own a 2nd gen.
   
   
   Posting for a friend of mine. He is not a dealer and it’s a personal truck. Message me if interested and I will put y’all in contact with him or you can email him at the email below to exchange contact info.
   
   “1989 Toyota Pickup 4 cylinder 38200 original miles, 4x4, this truck was my 82 year old Uncle, it was not a daily drive it was used on a farm and driven around 1000 miles a year in northern Louisiana. It was given to me a few months ago, and I hauled it home I drive it a few miles a week.
   
   It starts and runs fine, only issue that I know of is the radio don’t work, the temp gauge don’t work but the truck does not get run hot, the AC may not work but the AC motor works. Yes there is some body damage and rust it’s a 1989.
   
   $19k located 20 minutes from Houston Texas”
