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

Did the 65K oil change with cabin filter change along with a few things below



Finally got to doing the Big 3 upgrade to go along with the AGM battery and HBK voltage booster along with some new terminals



Just to preface, I don't go off-roading and this is my daily driver so it's mainly on the highway
Added the Hellwig rear sway bar and while I was under there I used the CRC anti-corrosion spray to prevent the Chicago ice and salt rust




Got the Bilstein 5100s installed in the front and rear


Added 1" wheel Spidertrax wheel spacers


And finally upgraded to the all around ceramic window tint thanks to Shaded Chicago (if you are near Chicago and want a great place to get tint message me)

 

Very nice looks like she's warm and dry for tonight!

 

Looks really clean on thr underside for a 2015 in the rust belt.

 

I definitely recommend the CRC (based off of ProjectFarm's comparison on youtube) and then I spray some of the areas that are starting to get rust with either WD40 or LiquidWrench even and then reapply the CRC the following week

 

You are my OCD Friend! Nicely done! It does look amazing!

 

Came home from Dallas to find new wheels waiting patiently for me. Anyone who's painted their wheels before, about how many cans did you end up needing?

 

Man you don’t even know the half of it on how OCD I am haha

 

Link by chance? They recently starting salting the roads in Washington during the winter

 

Finally took apart the blower motor. I can't believe it took me this long. So much better, not perfect but better.

 

Hand loaded/unloaded 1,900lbs of junk to the dump. Third time this month. I really need to get a dump trailer!

 

Making the job look easy with everything looking so clean lol. Got more info on this swap in, curious about this effort as what has scared me away in the past was labor costs.

 

I used isopropyl alcohol to clean the metal before applying sound deadener (Noico).

 

It's my dads garage. it's a 5 car garage and he has an a/c unit to keep it at 75 degrees. Best garage ever.

 

This is my 2nd time pulling the front diff and probably 10th time pulling the front end apart. I have a system that works well for me. I can pull the diff out in about 2 hours. Install is a bit longer. It's not too difficult to do. I sent the diff out to a local shop for the locker install. Drove around in 2wd for a week because I had some old trashed cvs I took the shafts out of. Hardest part is getting the diff off the rear mount. Definitely have a second pair of hands if you can. But I've done it by myself before. If you can change a cv axle, your only a few more bolts away from dropping the diff.

 

Front locker is a game changer. I recently added one too, a couple of months ago.

 

Do those jack stands have rubber feet?

 

If I had a garage floor that looked like that, my jack stands would probably have rubber feet!

 

What have I done to her today ?
Nothing good ....

 

Exactly lol!

 

That sucks!
