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

New set of Falkens.

 

Replaced the clear wheel flare protector. Luckily the old film came off in one piece.

 

I need to remove mine badly. 10 years old and looking dirty. Is this even worth it to replace?

 

wait this is stock? i haven’t removed mine. they’re on the hood and behind each handle and they have dirty ass black lines going all the way down them. been contemplating removing them completely and cleaning the lines

 

Removed mine when I did the debadge before they could look like ass.

 

did you replace them as well or just take them off and never look back?

 

Pulled into Home Depot today and this happened.

 

Added some lockable rear cubbies, trimmed the weather stripping to fit the roof rack.. drove through a buncha flood waters a messed up my ac compressor

My neighborhood is the worst flooding area of this entire part of Houston. Thankfully I am blessed to be able to really identify the leaking areas every other week!

 

I'm from Houston too. I can relate

 

It's become way more common that I would prefer... I have to replace pulleys every year

 

Link for the lockable cubbies you purchased?

 

Got one of the doors 75% done.
Removed old parts, cleaned and waxed window opening, installed new window run weatherstrip, belt molding and power mirror, and cleaned the door glass.
Found out I have a 6.5" speaker instead of the 6X9.

I need to clay bar my door windows.

 

"waxed window opening, installed new window run weatherstrip, belt molding"..... what did you Wax?and what material did you use? Thanks-
I have been wanting to smooth out my window operations for a while now......
I assume you sourced OEM parts from online...

 

Bought the new belt molding and weather strip from a local Toyota dealer. When I say wax, I meant the paint. I took a cleaner and wiped all the years of dirt away then waxed the paint before installing the new weatherstrip.

 

Got the other door 75% done. I say 75% because I still need to sound deaden the doors. I'm leaving the door panels off for now. Might put the Noico in tomorrow (if I don't have work) or next week.

 

Installed my Martin Offroad Foundation Rack

 

I haven't done a terrible lot to my truck today, but this past week has been a flurry of nonstop modding. Shoutout to @EatSleepTacos for his patience, expertise, and diligence. None of this would've happened without his help.

Finished my long overdue 30k mile maintenance, to include oil changes for front diff/rear diff/transfer case, spark plug change, and MAF sensor/throttle body cleaning.

Found out that one of my LCA alignment cams is seized. Currently waiting to hear if it will be replaced under the CPO 12 month limited comprehensive warranty.

Replaced the awful LED headlights installed by the previous owner (pictured) with Philips X-treme Ultinon LED headlights. Got them aimed properly early this morning.


Installed USB outlets for the back row, and added a strap hold-down to the center console to keep my trash bag from riding up over the outlets.



Installed a Blackvue DR750S-2CH dashcam and Power Magic Pro hardwire kit.




Got my stock driveline angle values measured. This should help when diagnosing driveline vibrations after I get my Dobinsons lift installed this upcoming Friday.


Got the ECGS bushing and Offroad Solutions high-angle inner CV boots installed.


Got my Avid Offroad bolt-on sliders installed.


And now, after 9 days of early mornings and late nights trying to get this stuff done, I'm gonna get some quality couch time.

 

Got my 3' mic extension cord for the CB. Now I got to figure out where I'll mount the end where the mic plugs in. I have a plate for more switches that might go next to the third cup holder. I might put it in a switch blank (if it will fit).

I also measured the length I need to make the door harness for my power mirror.

 

After a few weeks of waiting due to delayed shipping, I finally got my Pro Grille with color matched surround in! Really digging the look, now I just need to finally replace that missing headlight trim piece...

Edit: also picked up some Baja Designs XL's to replace my cali raised ditch lights... friend had them for sale for too good of a price to pass up. Just need to do some wiring though

 

Here you go sir!
