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

chicks dig scars.....

 

Just got it back. Looks good. Alignment seems good. Loved the tech saying the numbers were a bit off, but if he ran it again it would be perfect....on top of it being different numbers from last time, and the new non-OE cam has a plastic sleeve so it doesn’t rust. He walked that back and said “Actually carbon or something.” Lol, yeah okay.

He also said if it drives weird come back to do the other LCA. Ummmm, again bro, if it’s the right LCA, then why would it drive weird?

whatever! Wrung what ya brung and I gotta be somewhere this weekend. Time is money.

 

CVJ Axel out of Denver......

 

Sound deadened the hood over the weekend. A butyl rubber/aluminum sheet by NVX underneath Dynamat Hoodliner.

 

Just for the heck of it or why? Under the hood?

 

I’m just wondering, is a big possibility?

Not being a dick, genuinely curious...

Spoiled myself a little.. upgraded the JBL speakers to Kickers... havent heard them yet because i screwed up my headunit trying to install dash mount kit.... its been forever since I took apart the headunit .. Long story short, I pulled the headunit hard while there were 2 mounting screws still left in

 

TW calendar pic right here!!!

 

That thing always looks so clean. Even when you are playing. It’s ridiculous! Looks awesome

 

To further reduce road/engine noise. I've been doing a ton of sound deadening projects lately. It all adds up to a quieter ride. Wouldn't say its all that noticeable, and I didn't take a DB rating beforehand. But I have been using a frequency analyzing app on my phone to monitor road noise. Almost forgot to mention, it protects the paint on your hood from engine heat.

 

Yeah been doing a lot of sound deadening projects on my truck, because I got a new sound system. It's kinda addicting so I'm putting it everywhere.

 

I'm no professional but, when you think about all the plastic and rubber bits under the hood anyways, I wasn't concerned. The engine oil temp gauge in the gauge cluster stays the same anyways, right in the middle. And it's actually blocking heat from the sun from entering the engine bay. So it could actually be cooler or the same as it was before, who knows.

 

Yeah, your truck looks like it’s right at home out there! Man I bet it’s a smooth ride.

 

I was long overdue to relocate my rear diff breather. Now safely behind the brake light.




I also fixed one of my loose reverse lights after doing the HIR upgrade.

 

Took the BAMF lca skids off for a alignment and figured i would give it a bit of flare before reinstallation. Looks pretty cool.

 

@jeff b you better submit this entry for 2021 man!

One of the only good things about 2020 was @BVita making it onto the cover.
*Raptor noises*

 

I'm moving soon. I'm going to rent a trailer to help myself out. I've always wanted to tow something and I figured a little u haul would be the perfect non overkill thing to do it with.

 

We had a his&hers wash and wax day in the 100° heat.

It was her first time with her new Crosstrek.

So proud of taking care of that new car paint!



Took the old TRD Sport stickers off too.



And finally added the new vinyl decals I’ve had sitting around for months.

Edit: also first wash at the new house!!

 

Damn she's gonna overheat and get heatstroke with that black bag on her head.
