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

ah yes thanks for reminding me to do that! But in all seriousness this will be the 3rd oil pan for this engine....it better work this time...

 

Have you considered a dry sump?

 

Just ordered my Quik Fix seat spacers. Thanks @mrproduxn

 

yeah, but they are expensive and come with there own set of problems plus would have to find space for an accumulator tank and what not

 

good write up. Thanks. I need to do this

 

One step closer today with the platform, got the other side carpeted and the two pieces (that I’ll glue together) cut for the middle piece. Next is gluing them and carpeting and she’s done.

I’m not an upholstery guy by any means but I will address the horrific laps I got on the front, I was rushing lol. Still contemplating putting doors on the front so I said eff it

 

Finally got Bilstein 6112's. for my tacoma!!! They came today can't wait to get them installed!!!!

 

Changed out the breather valve on the right.

 

Nothing done yet. But I just hit week 5 of “4-8 week lead time” on my RCI order. Still somehow remaining patient….

 

that means you got 3 more weeks till you can complain

 

And 6 weeks before an update is received.

 

Went to Hollister Hills w these guys and had a blast!

Half of my suspension arrived. Woohoo!!

 

A peek of what happened today....will post pictures next week when I’m done work.
SCS F5 so sexy

Dobinsons 112-R (super heavy duty) with the 113-R add-a-leaf

 

Picked this up and hit all the zerks. Made quick work of them.


Swapped the smittybilt setup I had out with an ARB single duty kit. Should make airing up go a little quicker.

 

Just added duralast gold brake pads, new oil filter and full synthetic oil, finally fixed my oil catch can with a nail and some super glue, and then rotated my tires.

truck feels so much better now

 

Wheeling is like therapy for me. I am so less stressed than I was on Thursday. Had a blast with you and the crew.

 

Gotta love that extra real estate with the cowl reroute.

 

I did a little mod. It cost $.78 from my local Walmart. You can pick any color but I picked red. It definitely brings character to the Taco. Wind noise and strange vibrating sounds are noticable at times.

 

Went to the highest toilet in California today. And on the way down had some fun going quick. Once I reached the bottom of the trail (10 min) my rear 5160 were too hot to hold my hand on them for more then 3-4 seconded. Front 6112 were warm. But enjoying the truck.
Tommo going to swap the 650 lbs springs for some 600 lbs and hopefully that will make it a little more comfy ride.
