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

No, thats a page from last years nra calander. I already used the white tale, and didmt feel like shooting ducks with a mosin nagant

 

Did the 30K service. Air Filter/Plugs/Rotation/R Diff fluid/Oil & Filter

Saved enough DIY style to offset my CL $70 Impact and Ebay $7 Torque extension.

Runs like a new one.

 

^^^ive justified buying all the tools I've had with how much money I saved over the years

 

OME 885s
Bilstein 5100s all around (set at 0)
Nitto Terra Grapplers 285/70/R17

 

GOT NEW WHEELS TODAY FJ TAKEOFFS WHHHOOOO

 

Looks good. I like your stripes. Nice touch and unique.

Hit the rev limiter for the first time. A 6 speed manual will do approximately 40 mph in reverse if held at the rev limiter.

 

Most of the tools I own were because of some house or car project. Sometimes I would even invent projects as an excuse to get the tool I wanted! Seriously though, you can save an incredible amount of money doing things your self.

Good eye!

Here's to 1,000 posts! WooHoo! Cheers. (Got nothing on Oz though)

 

Just curious as to why you are going that fast in reverse?

 

Tried to weather proof bed cubby with rubber foam around the edges and covered the holes with black duck tape. Then covered the inside with spray rubber liner.

Also did the key lock mod.




Plasti Dipped the wheels.

 

Temporarily immobilized in mud or ice?

 

Is this what U got ? 75 foot lbs for lugs ?

I got the extension off Ebay. It had a buy it now of $10..... I offered $7 and got it.

83 foot pounds is the spec. I went around the truck on the ground one final pass with a wrench like I normally do. They were all tight enough. It's just a lot faster.

I bought one for my wife's and daughter's Hondas

$.02

Yep. Ice.

 

Oh ok... Thought that might be why.

 

Nice!

 

Got an oil change. Full synthetic.

 

Please let us know how this mod goes. Something I thought about and probably the same scheme I would have used. Wonder how it will hold up over time. Thanks.

 

Will do. Ran into a slight issue with closing the cubby. I am going for a tight fit and the keyed drums are producing a gap. Going to try to fill with a spacer tomorrow or cut a new slot for the locking lever at work.

I will report back. As of now, I wouldnt hesitate to take it to an automated car wash.
