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

Threw on the tires and rims due to the space they were taking up. But so far she drives lovely and only slight rub on my uca in full lock.

 

Use the tailgate as a workbench building wooden swords with the kids.

 

Very very common in the colder months. As stated it’s just condensation, nothing to worry about.

 

Weird. Haven’t had an issue with it at all. Held it where I wanted it, snugged up the lock nut, and it hasn’t moved since. Maybe try tossing a split washer in between to keep it from moving? Or a little bit of blue locktite?

 

Ok so after watching the entire modern marvels “beans,” I realized I was really bored. So a trip to get a few m8 1.25x20mm bolts and nuts, and I crawled under to get the “skid” done.
And I found my vampire clips so I’ll probably get bored and do the raptor lights later.
ETA: damnit looks a couple turns short on the drivers side bolts. Motherf... I’m done. It’s getting dark. And colder. I’m not going back out to fix that. I’m not.

 

10in fox smoothie resis for a change.

 

Please tell me there is a cardboard fort involved somewhere.

 

Yea I ordered a shift boot retainer along with my shift knob. Popped off the OEM shift boot and turned it inside out. You'll see the factory boot is more or less tied on. So I just untied the string holding it in place. Separated the factory retainer into its two pieces so it could be removed. Then just tie the new one into place. I used a zip tie so it was a little thicker and wouldn't come loose. From there it was pretty easy to reinstall.

 

damn 10" shocks?? Gotta see it in action soon, bet it articulates nicely. If you do try and flex them just keep an eye on the brake lines, at 10" they might get a little taut. Also be careful with the reservoir hose making contact with the top shock mount, there's a lot of movement when driving along and it can quickly turn into an abrasion and/or leak. Here's a thread to quickly browse through and see the common issue and some solutions to prevent it.

It may just be the angle but I would be worried about that resi being there. If it becomes an issue you can easily relocate it to the frame rail.

Jumped on the wagon and installed the spottermirrors just now before the game starts. Shoutout to @boogie3478 for the install video. Great little functional upgrade.

 

Relocating the resi to the frame once brackets come in for sure

 

Just got back from Manassas and drained the oil. Looks great, other than being dirty, so I'm much relieved!

Thank you for the reassurance/suggestions, my internet Tacoma friends!

 

Alright gents, I am getting ready to do my 60k maintenance this summer and I was wondering if anyone has found a good write up of supplies and some how to information. Im guessing @boogie3478 has some videos and I do plan on looking at some but I wasnt sure about a supply list. Trying to start getting the supplies while the OT is good at work and got some extra $$$$$

 

Out patrolling the back thousand acres.

 

what is a 60k

 

60,000 miles

 

Installed a battery charger so I don't have to worry about headlamps and such going dead while camping. I also ended up with three extra USB ports to power other stuff. I ran a wire under the center console to my Beofeng charger to reduce clutter. I'll probably use one for a dash cam at some point.

Here's the stuff I used if you wanna do something similar:
