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

plasti dipped the grille and lower valance and added a leaf spring to level out the rear. she's coming along!

 

Sadly I figured that...today was a last little hurrah for me. Fortunately ill only be in key west for 3 years. Hopefully I can make my way back west after that.

 

I washed it and that's about it.

 

I remembered it

 

i decided to light it on fire

 

then i decided against it. For my GF's sanity

 

I got my front hoops on!

Next step LED's for the eyes in my emblem.



Noticed driving to work this morning that some of the buttons (Downhill Assist Control, Bed Outlet, Locker) were not lit up. Could someone confirm if they should be before i rip the dash apart again? The buttons still perform there pictured functions, just not lit up when lights get turned on.

 

The locker and bed outlet buttons do not illuminate with the other dash lights. I don't know about the downhill assist control, as I do not have that feature.

 

Thanks for letting me know, I'm going to see if I can't wiggle the plug for the DAC.

 

PIAA wiper blades, oil and filter change, new rotors and pads, and undercoated for winter

 

Preparing for the 120K mile service. Got oil filter, washer, air filter, spark plugs, one gallon of the pink liquid stuff and a sun visor catch that needed to be replaced. Only two more payments and it is all mine.

 

Built this little guy today for the tacoma

 

Why did you weld the shackle lug on top of the hitch tube rather than at the end, like existing products on the market do?

 

I saw another reg cab(2012-2014)4x4 in traffic, turned around followed him for a minute and got him to pull over. I noticed he was lifted and had rear BHLM so I wanted to ask him about any vibes and if his lights leaked at all. Turns out he had a 2" front spacer lift and he bought the tail lights from Ebay and said he had them six months and they don't leak. He said no vibes from the lift. He had 17' Sport wheels with 265's. He said that the "Injen" intake negated the adverse effect to the fuel mile by the 265's. IDK about that, although he did produce a '' gas mileage log book". He also has a V8 as his second ride so we talked about that a while. I told him about this place and showed him my Ultra-Guage I'd just installed. He had to have one. It was pretty neat getting to meet a fellow Taco driver.

 

engine oil, oil filter change and drain the oil catch can. Also did the rear diff drain and replace. Mmmm diff oil. I get to do the transfer case and front diff tomorrow, oh joy!

 

Yesterday I got the oil changed, today I replaced spark plugs and replaced the front brake pads. Tomorrow i'm hoping to replace all fluids in both diffs, tcase and transmission. Then i'll cleaned up and trail rash underneath the truck with paint and finally get her undercoated with Krown rust proofing. All ready for the winter soon enough!

 

Not much but here's my taco with out emblems and grill painted black I'll be painting my wheels soon and back bumper.

 

Installed some projectors. Courtesy of eborgie....did a great job. TRS kit w/BHLM and 5000k HID bulbs. Cutoff line is sharp and light output is fantastic.
