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

Did yours start to make a humming sound? It was my passenger side that started humming and sounded terrible when I jacked the truck up and spun the tire. Figured if that one went out the other side would soon follow.

 

I've had to hobble past mine in the carport for the past 2 days, I had to have scar tissue removed and have my knee cap realigned on my right knee (my 4th surgery on it). Surgery was on Friday and I had to go to the ER today because it wouldn't stop bleeding. I may have to look at it just sitting there for a couple more days. Hopefully the 4th surgery works this time.

 

Ordered even more stuff to do a major 45K maintenance list.
.
More parts/goodies on their way from various places
.
The Amazon oil is to flush the block and pan before charging it with Mobil 1 5W30 synthetic...
.

 

Did some hoodrat shit with my friends at the mall...

 

I finally have the time to get all my switches to match the 2006 OEM amber color (which I like) of the dashboard.

Sorry you are having a hard time man good luck hope the 4th times a charm!

 

Very nice! Definitely on my list of someday mods! Just out of curiosity how much for the used suspension parts shipped to 78641?

 

Good choice, looks a lot better

 

Shipping would probably kill the deal. I will PM you what I want for the shocks. You would probably not be far off with the same from Headstrong...

 

Did the pinch weld mod and fender trimming in prep for 285’s and painted rear drums.

 

Sprayed some bed liner today

It's been a long year and 8 months trying to get it right. It's the recovery time that really sucks.

 

I jacked up my truck and spun the passenger front and it sounds like grinding. Also, while driving there’s this whobbling sound once I get above 35mph which I figure is that noise at higher speeds

 

That Amazon Basics oil is actually supposed to be top notch quality.

 

I'll be looking at a way to wire my relays up for my accessories. Making diagrams and figuring out connections now.
I was driving to pick up pizza and had an idea of how to wire my relay boxes that will make it easy to add stuff later (funny how you come up with ideas when you're not thinking about anything).

I need to look at the Supra first thing today then it's my truck. If I can't get the Supra running, I'm done with it.

 

I get what you are saying but if the dealer was decent they would have done the job for the deductible only. I would imagine it would also depend on how much the warranty is willing to pay for the repair that could be the reason why they charged you. The dealership I go to did a friends needle bearing for just the deductible as long as he supplied the part. Again as everyone says each stealership is different . It depends on how busy they are for the week and if they are making the sales goal for the week. I did mine myself and it only took about 2 hours. The only tool I had to buy was the bearing puller that East Coast sold me for $20.00.

 

Good idea doing inside the fenders, hadn't thought of that.

 

Might be. I needed cheap solution to flush the crankcase and thisnstiff was on sale. I have been a long time fan of Mobil 1. Will start sending out samples to Blackstone labs to see if my sometimes overkill maintenance is worth it.

 

Please keep us posted on how you like the Sony AX5000. Trying to decide between that (free with CC reward points) or the Dasaita Max6 Android unit I've been reading about.

Great looking truck BTW
