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

Finished sanding the last piece for my retrofit. This bezel had a gloss finish so i scuffed it down to matte. Just have to cut down my second shroud to match the first, then it's ready to be dropped off for paint.

 

Ordered Spotter Mirrors finally. Can't wait to wire them up. I need heated mirrors. Also wish I was 2 order numbers later

 

did the fog light anytime mod.

 

So I just dropped off some parts to the repair shop. Put an OME full lift on around the end of December and then had an accident on the way to have it aligned....
It was mostly my fault so I can't get pissed at anyone else. Anyway. Was hit on front passenger side wheel. Not quite 4k damage. Insurance finally approved repair. New wheel/tire, lca, steering knuckle, cv shaft, stabilizer link..., minor body damage. Needless to say it wasn't a good day. Trying to get it back on the road.

 

Finally got around to replacing the PCV valve. It improved the idle immediately.

 

Mines sitting in a box on my dinning room table staring at me because it's like 20 degree wind chill. Even in Atlanta!

 

That's some serious tile inlet for a garage. sharp!

Edit: And that truck looks bad a$$ Too!

 

https://www.redlinetuning.com/Default.asp Redline Tuning shipped their hood QuickLift kit to me in Idaho, and the company president responded to my questions quickly. They also sell through their eBayMotors store.

Would an overtime drop on the noggin mean it takes time and a half to fall? (Double the time on a holiday.)

 

I don't believe you but my opinion shouldn't matter to you anyway.

 

Alpharex Luxx series, they’re pricey but worth it.

 

nice truck! are those pro headlights?

 

Added rear white lights that can be switched to constant white for additional reverse lights or strobe for emergency lights. Also added additional red marker lights on each side of my sliding rear window.

 

I took them apart and painted them myself. I didn’t paint the black but more of a gunmetal color. Used spray paint from when I painted my g37 rims. Turned out great.

 

After 13 years in the Florida sun the roof was trashed. I took it down to primer and repainted the roof. All shiny again.

How many km on your truck? What was the idle like before?

 

If you're referring to the carrier bearing kit, yes I did.

If you're referring to the ECGS needle bearing, no I didn't.

My goal was to get basically the smallest lift possible but still getting an actual lift. I'm super happy with the results.

 

About 98 thousand. The idle was erratic and would sometimes dog down at a stoplight. The simple $10.00 fix of a new genuine Toyota PCV valve smoothed it out right away. I was a happy camper. The toughest part of the job was breaking the old one loose! I had to use my breaker bar on it. It's a part that is often overlooked, but worthy of replacing in my humble opinion before going all over the truck looking for bigger problems.
