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

Finally got around to extending my AC drain. Used 2 feet of 5/8" heater hose and ran it through and behind the bump stop. Now it won't drip on my frame, and it doesn't look too bad either. I do need to replace the fender liner pieces, any recommendations on a good brand? I know I can cut my own but I don't really want to

Where I have it draining:

 

Oil change and just ticked over 166k on the odo

 

Was cleaning out my garage today and found this mad sick jdm spoon sports sock from my Honda days.

 

oh man good times, my sister has some still on her Honda fit last week when she was over for some work in my shop, when I asked where she got them she said she stole them off my 97 civic when it went to the scrap yard after we stripped most of what was good to put into the new shell after getting t-boned which was like 12yrs ago now.

 

Got the bed and RTT resprayed today…

 

I've been wanting to do this for so long but was told coating the fiberglass bed is a no-go. What company and or product was used? Looks amazing!

 

Thanks dude! Florida Truck Outfitters in the Tampa Bay Area near Oldsmar. They used to do Line-X but switched to Phoenix Liners. Lifetime warranty and very nice. Super stoked to have finally gotten it done.

 

I have been trying to fix this MAF fault, so far I cleaned the sensor and cleaned the filter. I have a cold air intake. Cleared the code, it came back
Then I replaced the sensor. Cleared the code and it came back.
Then I changed the filter to a new paper one that fit in the airbox. Disconnected the battery and reconnected it. It still came back!
Any advice is welcome because I am stumped and doing research. On what to do next. I attached the fault code for reference. I will deal with the transmission stuff soon.

Looks amazing! I've been wanting to do this for so long but have questions on exhaust routing...any chance you could post some pics from under your truck of how you routed things to exit out of the bedside?

 

I sure will once I get everything finished up

 

Since you’ve already replaced the MAF, I’d recommend checking for an open or short circuit next. I had the same code when I was running an HPS intake, but once I switched back to the stock airbox, the code never came back. It might be worth reinstalling the stock airbox and driving it around for a few days, it could save you the hassle of tracking down a wiring issue. Do you have a scan tool that can show MAF airflow data in grams per second?

 

Got a KB Voodoo rack for a fraction of the MSRP from a kind local lad. Will be rust treated and refinished.

Also grabbed a $2000 Peli for $100 lol. God bless mid-Florida and FBM.

 

Been trying to track down a noise from the rear of the truck for around 3 months. New 3rd member, swapping in the driveshaft from my other truck, driving in 4 hi with no rear driveshaft, all with no luck. Had it at the local dealership (they pointed to the 3rd member I had just replaced) and was having a tough time finding a local driveline shop. Finally broke down and bought this:

$259 Steelman Wireless ChassisEAR Auto Diagnostic Tool Kit, Identify The Cause of Troubling Vehicle Noises, 4 Transmitters with 50-Foot Range (61082)

https://www.amazon.com/Steelman-Cha...tive&sprefix=61082,automotive,499&sr=1-2&th=1
Hooked it up this morning and took the truck for a drive. Looks like a bad passenger side wheel bearing.
Had never used one of these before but it was easy to use.

 

Fascinated—how did you pinpoint the issue using this?

 

I attached one mic to the transfer case, 1 to the 3rd member, and 1 to each end of the axle tube (I clipped them to the outer most u-bolt facing the wheel bearings) . I could just barely hear the noise from the tcase and driver side mics. The one on the 3rd member I could hear it a little more, but the one on the passenger side was screaming. Wearing headphones made it nice since they help to block out other noise.

AC drip line mod completed. Also cleaned up the rust spot with a wire wheel and anti rust paint.

Sigh, complaining time. I moved from a huge two car garage down to a single car garage, I had to put my bike garage (i had a separate 1 car garage for that) and my auto stuff into one place. I dont get to park in it anymore as my girlfriends car fits better, but damn is it tight in

 

Hell yeah. Thank you!

 

Mounted spare rear half of rear driveshaft.
