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

Sorry, I think he actually stopped making them according to what @GMAN62465 told me, when he mentioned I should get one.

Not sure if he still has any left to sell.

 

X2 on the made in Mexico comment. They used to be the cat's meow about 15 yrs ago when they were made in the US. Also, because of their design, the reserve capacity vs other options of the same size it not nearly as good. I recently installed an X2Power from Batteries Plus Bulbs. They occasionally run 20% deals if there is one in your area.

 

Well, after entirely to much time stuck at home and the tuck just turning 40k... I went right down the list. The only thing I think I still have left is to clean the throttle body/ MAF sensor.

• Rotate tires.
• Replace engine oil and oil filter.
• Lubricate propeller shaft
• Re-torque propeller shaft bolt.
• Cleaned Ball joints and dust covers
• Cleaned brake lines and hoses
• Cleaned drive shaft boots
• Replace engine coolant
• Radiator and condenser flush
• Cleaned fuel lines and connections, fuel tank band, and fuel tank vapor vent system hoses
• Replace fuel tank cap gasket
• Cleaned steering gear

+1. Had an Optima years ago (my first AGM) and it was awesome. Lasted forever. Got one to replace it (Yellow top in my 1st gen) and was warrantied several times. Sold the truck with it so don't know how long it will last but didn't like the failure rate.

Just got an Odyssey for my 2nd gen. I've had nothing but good luck with that brand in motorcycles, so hoping their big boy batteries are just as good.

 

???? What's this all about?

 

This quarantine got me so bored I've started removing every last bit of chrome possible. Found these black fasteners at home Depot. Black lug nuts on order!!

 

ECGS Bushing and 2" leveling kit up front. I feel at peace.

 

Just DM @ImMrYo and ask if he has any left.

 

3" lift. Tires are almost 34".

 

I painted the engine cover with plasti-dip, just to do something. I also used the Turtle Wax headlight restoration kit. I only used the compound instead of the sanding disk and polish like I had originally planned because I thought it did a pretty good job with just the compound. I also bought the Meguire’s PlastX, which I used on my wife’s Sienna, and it did a really good job too.

Try this on the headlights next time. I use it with a powercone on a cordless drill.

Finished installing the "anytime front/rear camera" kit. Got the switch to the left of the A-Trac switch and currently have the front camera mounted way too low to be useful. Will figure that part out tomorrow though.

 

Cool, thanks. I would love to see the placement of the bolts.

 

Sweet. My wheel lock stripped out

 

What size tire is that?

 

These came in today

 

285/75/16

 

Ive got the EL96R did you add another leaf to that? If so what did you use? Im trying to get like anouther .5-.75 of lift back there.

 

I hate the OEM lock nuts!! I went with these and new black lugs!
