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

Probably their MO to begin with.... stretch it out till you lose interest and they win.

 

1300$ floating around is alot for me!

 

Cleaned the MAF and throttle body. Didn’t get an after picture but here’s the before. I don’t know if it’s been cleaned before (I’ve never actually seen/cleaned a throttle body before) but at 190k I figured I’d take a look at it.

 

Was time to get organized! Added a

$15 Cocoon CPG5BK GRID-IT!® Accessory Organizer - Small 10.25" x 5.125" (Black)

Grid-it to the cover then designed and printed my own organizer for the console. Age-old mini mods but rad nonetheless. And a nice place to keep my home-made 3D printed seat belt silencers Used a soldering iron to melt down the trim and rivets to hold it to the cover...didn't bother with the velcro method.

 

I need to do this. My center console is a mess

 

Weather was nice for the first time in a while so decided to wash the brine off of it. Was a little disappointed to find this. Guess I’m going to have to look at the vinyl option suggested a little ways back before more starts to follow suit.

 

Nicely done. I ended up only using one piece lol. Time to get yourself a glovebox organizer too!

 

Ha! Didn't post it but just bought and installed the glove box organizer last week! New surge of projects and upgrades (big and small) lately after owning my truck for 6 years.

 

Looking over wiring diagrams ... again. Couple more differences between ECM wiring for the two harnesses I'm looking at.

 

This has me pretty worried about my white 2013. So far, it's only flaked on the engine side of the front fender and front passenger door jamb. Quickly prepped and repainted to keep from spreading and easy to hide since it isn't on an exterior panel.

 

Looks like my 05's headgasket has held out longer than everyones super white paint...

Sorry buddy, had to say it

 

Come on man, again? Per the bold above, please stop spreading misinformation for something you have no experience with.

For those interested, start here and read down for reactions from folks who run the cowl mod the first time he made this claim, or read the entire thread.

Nicely done!

Nicely done as well.

With an android you get to pick which way the picture is flipped, or not flipped... lol.

The opposite of nicely done.

 

Cowl mod here... works great!

 

Bravo.

Waaaaaay too exaggerated head gasket issues with the 05/06.

 

Right?! I work on japanese cars for a living and have seen a few 03-04 4runner 1grfe blown, not a single taco.

 

Ive been worried for a while with the other threads circulating around on here. Thought I might be one of the lucky ones since my truck didn’t show any signs of it going at all. No bubbling, no flake, paint seemed solid. Then bam. Interior and exterior of my truck has been meticulously and religiously cleaned and maintained since I bought it. I don’t feel comfortable sanding, painting and trying to blend exterior paint. The possibility of it doing it again in a different location and having to go through the entire process again is why I’m leaning towards capping it off with vinyl. Fingers crossed yours holds up.

 

haha no hard feelings. It’s a solid roast.

 

Thank you for being a cool 2nd gen owner

 

I saw a good deal on Facebook marketplace but found out something gross
