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

i did the fog light anytime mod along with 3k hid.

 

Today I took off the useless heat shield that came with my K&N air sucking tube. No more rattle sound when I accelerate.

 

yeah they matched Amazons price for me and gave me every thing else at cost plus refunded me 100 dollars for the alignment they had originally messed up twice.

 

i also had more of my cab mount chopped clearanced and boxed in.

now i have a torch sitting on my dining room table time to go melt my wheel wells back and smooth things out

 

Installed a new air filter and cleaned the dirty ass windshield.

 

I did its 10000 mile service (oil change and rotated the tires) and gave it a bath. I decided to start doing my oil changes and tire rotations myself since the dealer is 50 miles away.

 

Washed it! Started doing the arm rest mod. Going to finish the front ones tomorrow

 

Re-located rear breather.

 

got new shoes baby

 

We have defrosters on our trucks? Serious question.

 

took out the USA amp .... died on me

 

Yes... But I just undid this mod, doesnt work so well in the wet PNW... The windows fog up to quick with ac not on...

 

I was told a benefit of having the AC on with the defrosters was that it kept the AC seals in good shape over the winter when the AC system would ordinarily not be on. Any truth to this ? If so wouldn't having it not go on shorten the life of the AC ?

 

I've heard this too. However the AC system can't start until the heater is warm enough to make the air going across the thermistor on the evaporator about 45ºF or so (whatever it's cut-in temperature is, some cars are as low as 39º and others as warm as 55º). Otherwise the water taken out of the air would instantly freeze to the evaporator and block the airflow, risking hydrolock to the compressor. That's why it takes a couple minutes to kick in. /end random info plug

Why can't it be like the older Hondas? When defrost was kicked on, the AC would be enabled and the button lit up; if you didn't want it on, just push the button and it would turn off! Such a WONDERFUL way of doing things.

 

Because people are dumb and need everything done automatically for them...

 

That is true, But also it de-humidifies the air before entering the cab.. so with the ac not going while on defrost it can fog up the windshield/windows retty quick....
So its a must in humid/wet climate...

 

Detailed it......again

 

haha.... so true!

 

3". They're adjustable to 3.5"

 

Good luck with that. It takes 40km over to get our vehicle impounded here. Unlike you guys our highways have curves and turns. I can't count how many Alberta plates I've seen blow past me on BC highways to see "y'all" in the ditch or worse on the next hairpin.

I should open a brake and transmission shop in Edmonton or Calgary!

If it saves a life, I'm good with our laws.

I don't spend that much time blasting down the freeway in my Tacoma, I wheel it.
