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

Yeah I stopped going to the dealer because they are a pain. I might visit @boogie3478 place but would be nice to find a place closer to get it done.

 

Let’s see how this turns out...

 

That looks rad, good job. Three tabs should be perfect for what I thinking of doing. I'm planning on mounting it behind the grille. Maybe some small L brackets? We'll see when it arrives. Thanks for the input

 

Little mod today thanks to people on here. Absolutely love these new knobs.

 

Does anybody have a needle bearing removal tool they could swing my way if i pay for shipping both ways? Want to replace the needle bearing when I install my LT kit but the price of the tool itself is outrageous!

Can throw in some stickers and keychains with the tool when I ship it back

Very true. My muffle shop made sure it was NC legal

 

They are warm white as far as I know. I grabbed these on ebay and the appear to be an exact match. There are 2 back there and I took out the burnt out light and replaced it with one of these and tested it at night. Cannot see a difference. And they come in a 2 pack so I also have a spare when the other burns out.

Check it out and hope you already fixed it...

 

Thanks didn't know about that! Using your vid as a reference for when I pull my axles and pull the bearing so thanks for that as well Would you recommend getting an axle seal just in case? Not sure how easily they can be damaged

 

And again

 

Absolutely get the axle seal as they are easy to damage if you aren't careful.

 

Did you do your headlights yourself?

 

Works. I just used it on my bushing purchase.

 

Yes

 

Free mod.
Took 4'' off OEM antenna, actually did a year ago but never posted. No more hitting garage door each morning. Antenna is still higher than the roof by a couple inches so it serves as a better height gauge now. Reception seems the same.

Step 1: Ball in vice, wrench on shaft nut, twist until release. Sorry I know...


Step 2: It chops and shapes the end to accept the ball again.


Step 3: JB weld the wire to the shaft and JB weld the ball on, then paint.

 

Got the lower idler pulley replaced (it was making noise and my mechanic found that the bearing was starting to go.) Along with the serpentine belt. 113k miles.

Just another 5k tire rotation. Still loving the ridge grapplers. (2nd rotation)
.422 tread depth new
.390 at the deepest part today or about 12/32 in tire talk.

 

SO i decided to do this mod as well- for the passenger window switches... the saborway kit fits the passenger door perfectly! but no go on the rears. I am still working on a different solution- in the meantime- i have 2 extra switches (white LED) that i can't use... if anyone wants these i am looking to get $10 + shipping a piece... PM me

 

Trailtoys sells a similar product that's great.
