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

took the taco to a shop and spent 650 on timing belt all componants and water pump dont get her back till tommorrow cant wait to drive my truck!

 

Yeah, I probably should have waited and just ordered the similar UWS box. But, it was going to be $600 with shipping, and I'm sometimes an impatient fellow....

Besides, I like to support local businesses too. Hard to check things out first hand if your only option is ordering online. The brutal part is the 9.5% sales tax.....

 

Be happy ! You did it right. When you have it apart for a timing belt it would be foolish not to replace the water pump and components what ever they may be.

 

How did they come out ? Pics ?

 

mounted some lights on my roll bars pointing backwards, adding 2 more today and yesterday i ran over a tire and rim that some guy lost on the interstate. his lug studs sheared off and i hit it about 80. blew out my tire and busted my rim to hell. its worse than it looks in the picture

 

damn! Front or rear tire?

 

drivers front. i seen the tire as it went under the front of my truck and locked up on the steerin wheel. i kept it straight until i could get off the interstate. i drove off into the median. i got the guys insurance and a police report. it says that the tire had been laying there for close to 10 minutes. and that his insurance should buy me a new wheel and tire. it also blew my front strut. ive got to get new ones. and Guess what, the guy didnt speak any english. just my luck

 

I'm glad you were able to keep it under control.

On a brighter note you'll probably walk away with some money though because I bet the factory shock will be more than a replacement of one of yours.

 

ive got the factory shocks on mine. i just have a spacer lift. im hopin to get a decent check from it. i need new tires and new shocks and a new leaf pack ha ha. I doubt i will get that much from it but it will dang sure help alot.

 

I smell 5100's in your future. I wish you the best of luck

 

thank you very much, i just got off the phone with the insurance lady. i got an appointment to get everything inspected tomorrow.
should be fixed up good and new by the citrus meet..

 

Noticed that my truck is doing the bro lean, going to attempt to get my TSB leaf springs done this week..... again

If it happens I am getting 5100s shortly after

 

I buy the cheapies and just add the orange color Rain-x premix wash fluid,, which is awesome BTW. Going on 4 years with the same blades and using the fluid,, in Wa state no less. 1/2 the time I don't need the wipers with a coating of the fluid on there, water just beads off.


"doing the bro Lean",,,lmao.

 

You had the TSB done and it is not fixed????

 

O no no I should have explained better.

Went they said they wouldn't do it, then called toyota they said they would do it, manager said they would have it done by monday, went monday manager wasn't there assistant manager was said he wasn't doing it. Told them to give me my truck I'm not coming back to you guys.

He didn't care, so Im looking for a new dealer.

So I have not had it done yet.

Although 200lbs makes her squat......

 

Call HQ and bitch about that shitty dealer.

 

Is it really going to do anything?

I really dont even want to go back to them.....ever

It was horrible, they even took off my michillens (because I was getting a vibration the tires needed to be balanced how do I know? Because I used to balance tires as a job) and they put on some shitty ass tires......

Bastards....

 

UHHHHH???????????

Call them, it will make you feel better. No, I am not a therapist
Where are your Michellin's? They kept them?

I hope you tell me you have them b/c that is bullshit. Did you authorize such work? about removing the tires?

 

I loaded mine up with trash and made a dump run. Exciting huh?

 

LOL,

Nope they kept them, did not tell them it was ok. They said they had to switch tires because my michys were causing the vibration so I thought they put another set of michys on her nope junk ass sport no name tires....

I told them they needed to be balanced, they said no problem....


My first truck from dealer btw, prob the last.
