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

Thought it looked familiar. Man, that's pretty bad.

 

whats the benefit to this?

 

Positive crank case ventilation carries oily gas into the intake to get burned in the combustion chambers. this also puts a lot of oil into your intake manifold. Adding a catch can allows the gas to get back into the intake but not all the oil resulting in much cleaner intake. There is a lot of debate about catch cans, I have run them on a couple of my cars and I like the benefit of them not lining my intake with oil.

 

They truly benefit turbos, but in a naturally aspirated there is little to no discernible benefit in wear and tear or improvement in engine output. There are anecdotes about it all day long, but you're just adding another point of failure, in my eyes, if you forgot to empty it and it fills up. If I had a turbo though, I would absolutely want one. To each their own.

 

been running one on my '13 shortly after I bought it in '17, I empty it every oil change. It's amazing how much oil & moisture (in fall/winter) ends up in it every 5K miles.

 

How are you mounting that storage case on the driver side? drilled holes in it i presume? really a bummer more companies dont make lockable mounts.

 

Do you have pics with them remounted?

 

Yes I had to drill holes in both cases, they are on there very solid though.. I should have waited until I had all my things to mount on the rack before drilling and mounting, you can't move anything without drilling more holes, which I didn't have to do!

 

I totally need this. Mine is a trash heap right now.

 

Nice…

 

Billet UCA’s and hydro bump stops installed. Thanks @GHOST SHIP

 

Okay, I didn't know I needed this until now. Any chance there's a write-up or LOM?

 

Amazing, don't need a high power rifle and scope, just do 55 mph and blow the horn and presto, deer jerky...Glad the damage was just to the door and not your front end.

 

Nice! Your flares turned out great! That is exactly what I plan to do to mine.

 

I have a flare question that anyone can answer. My front left flare has a broken tab in the very center. I believe that is causing a couple of clips from staying attached. Has anyone ever tried to repair a tab with epoxy (or other means). I am afraid I will have to replace the flare. Tired of constantly having to attach the surrounding clips frequently. It is painted pyrite mica so would love to be able to repair the existing one. If I drove it in a car wash it would probably rip that flare off the truck.

 

I used adhesive and reattached mine recently after paint. I just put a clip in it and laid it over the adhesive on the spot where it goes. We will see how long it lasts but going on a month and multiple car washes now.

 

Don't mess with the epoxys. Try this
