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

Changed the gear oil in the rear diff and 5 speed gearbox 73 thousand miles did not know if previous owner did or not. Gear box was black diff looked new.

 

Changed my taillights today. Looks much better than stock.

 

Wow how clean inside, what oil?
PS. Should have cleaned VVTi valve screen since you were there.

 

Installed my new T-Rex 3 eyelids

 

Worked on my front bumper s little more. I would upload pics, but every time I try, nothing shows up. Conputer stuff boggles my mind

 

What cha think?!! New front bumper from Shrockworks!

 

I would recommend taking that bug shield off also I used to have one and really liked it until I forced myself to take it off and get used to it. I look back now and can't understand why I ever liked it in the first place!

It also caused more scratches than it protected and didn't deflect anything, so there's really no benefit unless you're totally sold on the look. IMO, they just look weird with a plate bumper (esp. with the three hoops like you have)

Looks great!

 

Replaced the OEM Dunlops with 4 LT245/75-16 Goodyear Silent Armor tires.

Top-coated (Rustoleum spray truck bed coating) and installed my Relentless Fabrication tailgate reinforcement.

 

Went to get it a little dirty and check out my new Pelfreybilt bumper.

 

Picked mine up from the shop!

5100's in the front maxed out
ICON 1.5 AAL in rear
ICON UCAs
BFG A/T KO 265/75/16 black wall

Measurements as of now.
LR 38 1/4"
LF 37"
RF 37 1/2"
RR 39 1/4"

Gonna see how it settles and does with the camper I ordered. Then I'll work on fixing the taco lean.

Pics to come!

 

Finally debadged it, installed a shorty antenna and gave it a bath.

 

The actual deflector didn't scratch anything (my EGR didn't touch paint), but it caused small debris to get trapped and fly around underneath the deflector. And it also caused some deep water spots where it would trap water and shade it from evaporating.

I never found it actually protected it either. Maybe it's just my experience though and my opinion

decided to change things up a bit.... went from blacked out emblem to red.

 

Spent 8 hours today removing my front bumper and CBI front receiver then mounted my Warn winch to the Fab Fours bumper and began the bumper installation - IN A CONSTANT DRIZZLE what a PIA. Tomorrow I will make all the fine adjustments and wire the winch, reinstall the grill. Take some pics.

 

Working on blacking out stock front skid plate and side and back logos.

 

I like it!

by the looks of it you should make some sliders next, lol

 

I drove 45 minutes to pick up my 89-year old dad, drove back to my house, hooked up my boat and trailered it for the first time with my 2013 DC and drove another 45 minutes to my favorite lake. We caught about 35 sand bass in about 2 hours, cleaned them and drove back home.

Was surprised at how well the truck pulled my boat...I had previously pulled it with a 2010 Nissan Titan 8 cylinder and was a little worried...

However, my Tacoma did a great job and I was pleasantly surprised...

 

Looks great! Congrats! I will have one someday...

 

That's a purrity truck sir
