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

Changed the rear diff fluid to Quaker State 75W140 today. The socket-head drain- and fill plugs I installed 3 winters ago are still holding up well.

Fill plug (same as front diff) is in surprisingly good shape. Drain plug (All-Pro P/N 7700-AP with magnet) has more rust, but gave no hint of rounding.



Also lowered the spare tire for the first time ever. The winch moved smoothly and the cable had no rust on it. The steel plate going thru the wheel center was also in good condition. However, the winch cable end terminal was heavily rusted, so I gave it a few blasts of black rust paint.

 

Put my in channel EGR window visors on. First hand wash and wax for the truck. 80 degrees today.

 

I painted behind mine using High Temp Flat Black spray paint, got it at the Home Despot.

 

The plan is 500k then trade her in.

 

That's what I talking about. I've got right at 80 on my 08. Surely I can get at least 300 out of her

 

Yanked the HU to replace the GPS antenna which did nothing.

 

What did I do to my Tacoma today?

I stalled it at an intersection. Damn. Haven't done that in about a year.

 

Installed the Wet Okoles that I got for a steal on craigslist the other day.

 

lol why did you steal an old black man's shoes?

.

 

Changed my alternator, pulleys and belt not to hard. Got my switches almost done.

 

Could be old. Just saw this for the first time. Lucky ass hill climb.!

That's messed up!

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

That was awesome!!

 

Got the tinting on yesterday and took her on her maiden off road voyage.


Hilariously enough, the 4Lo on the Taco is lower than 4Lo was on my Jeep Wrangler.

 

Hmm, never thought to compare the two. I have a 6 spd and 4lo 1st gear is pretty awesome though.

 

my bad

 

First nice weather we've seen in awhile where i live, decided to shine her up and my new rims just happen to come in this morning as well. 17" mayhem riots. Also put the devil horns on yesterday. Thinking about removing the bug deflector, the more i see it in my pictures the more it bugs me

 

Machined a lower section of my bumper, 1/4" aluminum, 5/8" bottom mount tabs I welded on today, first time TIG aluminum
