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

Cleaned up some wiring, loosened and readjusted my bumper to make the bodyline better than stock, yellowed out my behind the grille brights with metalcast, black vinyl eyelids, did some soak and wd40 on the salty front end followed by a another wash ... tomorrow full fluid film:

 

I thought this was a good mod to keep from having an expensive repair?!?!

 

It is. That's what I meant. That cheap Toyota foam filter can be an expensive fix when it deteriorates.

 

I like this, Isn’t that for an access cab? If so would you post some pics of the whole truck please?

 

Whew! new to this world and jumping in fast so thought I missed something . Thx for the clarification

 

EDIT: @steveo27 realized you said look in build thread for more photos after posting that. Looks good! Been tossing the idea on a cheaper diy rack for my access cab too.

 

Haven't installed them yet since I'm waiting for new suspension components, but here's 295/75/16's propped up against my current 285's.

 

I'd assume for extra strength. The factory are only rated up to around 100 lbs. Mine bend pretty significantly with my 80lb kayak on them. This looks like a good alternative.

 

It’s the 2000

 

Thanks to the information on this forum. Yesterday I was able to replace the front brakes and rotors . Front/rear diff and transfer case. Normally I would only change the engine oil.

 

Dropped the trans pan along with flush and fill. I do most of my own work, but the make/model information available on forums like this make them invaluable. Such as getting the fluid level checked correctly. Thanks again to @MtnMan307 @jkuniverse and @Rick_Taco. Their heads up on the torque numbers for the pan bolt saved me from my own catastrophe.
Next up, raising clip on 6112s and changing Icon RXTs to stage 2.

 

Don't think I’ve seen a front bumper look so at home. Nice truck man

 

Had a vibration / shudder thinking my torque converter was going but remembered how the truck drove prior to the 1 piece shaft 2 years ago.

dropped off my driveshaft where it was custom made and they found an slight defect in the tube and retubed the driveshaft for me at no cost. Excellent customer service!

....hopefully that’s what the vibration was we will see lol

 

Pulled my truck out so I could smoke a turkey

 

What time is lunch?

Kick ass smoker man

 

Meh, not much here...

Had the toyo mt's rotated and balanced yesterday.
Always pleasantly surprised how much smoother the front end feels after.

 

Sometimes I leave mine in the garage and roll down the windows when I have the smokers going.
Love that smell!!!

 

Install into the truck

 

Bought a new bed. Swapping later today.

 

Did the tailgate security mod on my 2007 double cab, which I bought last week. $3.99 for a pair of clamps at O'Reilly's Auto.
