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

i was almost thinking of doing dakars, 5100's all around, 885x coils

 

Clutch master cylinder leaked brake fluid into carpeting; I replaced cylinder last week. Yesterday I took carpeting out, scrubbed it with Simple Green, and hung it to dry overnight. This required removing front seats, back seats, center console, and floor trim. I reinstalled everything today, and only had one extra bolt

 

Go OME, nothing wrong with bilstein but OME is better

 

PITA it was, but I kept picturing my floorboards corroding I actually think the bolt was an extra-only 2 places in the cab that use that size. That I know of......

 

When I used to repair Toshiba laptops they always came with a spare screw. No place to put it but there was always left after you worked on them. Aren't Toshibas and Toyotas both designed by the Japanese? I think they know something that we don't.

 

Got the left side done today, then took a quick run to Sandy Beach to test it out, and ran into a few of the other Hawaii guys who were having a little meet/wheeling session.

Gonna left it settle for a few weeks, then adjust and get it aligned. Then get some tires.

 

Finally finished my Satoshi!!




Also yesterday I installed my "new to me" A.R.E. tonneau cover.

Shifted something on the front end again. Truck needs an alignment after every wheeling day.
