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

Did that. Did not move. Had the small bolts in and used heat. I may have to cut it off with a die grinder

 

Changed my oil.
Haha.
The 4.0 has to be one of the easiest engines to change the oil on. No skid plate to remove . Filter on top, with a drain port.
Didn't spill a drop. No oil running down the block after pulling the filter. As a retired career personal transport service technician,
I Love it!

 

Yep, just a small one. As well as longer lug studs. They just barely rubbed the caliper. I took a gamble getting these wheels, but reckon they turned out well.

 

Where do you order this? Can you share a link plz?

 

Hello all. First posting here. I have a 2013 (2nd Gen) Taco. Love it. I have done a few mods to it but nothing super. When I first got it, I put leaf spring helpers on the rear (simple bolt on kind), got the front window tinted with clear tint to reduce solar heat from coming in. Over time I have done a few more things.

• Added red led lights to bed, under truck that all work with the door opening or unlocking of truck.
• Soft tri-fold bed cover.
• Tailgate theft mod.
• locks for the tool ports in the bed.
• Changed all incadesent bulbs for LED.
• Eventually had to change the headlamp assymblies because of one that broke.
• Added 6 orange LED's to the grill. They are two sets of three working with the DRL and Turn signals. Three on either side will work with that turn indicator.
• Changed out the license plate lights with Red / White LED units.
• Bolt on exhaust tip.
• RED LED Light kit for fire fighting runs.
• Changed out the third brake light assymbly because the old one failed me.
• Window rain gaurds.
• Perm mounted a magnet unit for the phone to the left of the of the radio unit.
• And, today I spray painted the front skid plate for the hell of it.

 

Got some all weather floor mats and installed 3rd gen door still protectors.

 

So those are compatible with second gen? Mine are haggard and that would be a nice little upgrade. Could you drop a link?

 

Even easier when you vacuum the oil instead of draining it.

 

I want to say it was around 3 weeks if I remember correctly

 

Installed Bilstein 6112's. About four hours and a few F bombs is what it took me! Highly recommend doing it yourself.

 

Swapped out my DD SS3 Sport Foglamps with the DD Elites because I wanted to go back to a more OEM look.

 

5 minutes.

They get waxed & ceramic coated regularly

 

Pulleys and serpentine belt. Bumper and Toyota grill install after having both for over a year.

 

Oil change, tire rotation, greased the driveshaft, new wiper blades, and cleaned out behind the molding in the front doors. So many leaves get in there.

 

Another night with too little sleep. I actually read "greased driveshaft and new wiper blades". For a minute I thought "is this something new that I don't know about. Is there lube for wiper blades". Then I actually woke up and read the post again. Results of being old, retired and working too hard on too many different things. At least I woke up before I google searched wiper blade lube. Another senior moment. One day you will all have these moments.

 

yup 100% fits on 2nd gen double cab.

Can anybody help me with the oem part number of the rubber seal here around the rear windows. Would love to get this replaced and looking new again. Thanks in advance.

 

TY. Looking forward to getting my kit!

 

I have a set of these in the garage waiting to be installed. I was a little confused on how to put them on when I got em’ and just put it all aside that day. It’s been a year since that day easily. Any advice on how to get them on nicely?
Did I over think the process?

 

Okay sweet well I’ll just keep an eye out then. Also did you put any silicone on the gasket just to be sure about no leaks, or is their provided gasket good enough?
