What did you do to your rims to make them look so good?

It's not pretty but it got rid of ~75% of the cargo cover rattles

Just put my summer wheels from 265 to 285......

It's just some duplicolor graphite HWP102 wheel paint from
O'Reilly's.

I'll have to try that with mine. Is it a fairly durable finish?

I did things with water that were borderline inappropriate. :tongue:

Soap was involved.

Finished blacking out my mirrors. Also nearly hit 211,000!

Here she is, possibly still a little soggy.

Good news: Fully installed the Total Chaos upper control arms. Still waiting for my Fox coilovers to come in, so I can install them hopefully before heading down to Mexico weekend.

Bad news: Stripped the head on one of the passenger side lower ball joint bolts. This prevented me from replacing the cv axle. Damn it. I also (think) I stripped on the lower ball joint mounting bolts, preventing me from replacing that lower ball joint.

Next up: installing the diff drop spacer, then tomorrow figuring out wtf is going on with the rear suspension. This truck is turning into a bigger pain in my ass then I originally thought it would be, haha.

Got my truck March of last year with 234k, and I'm just shy of 250k now. I finally decided I needed to get motivated and grease the drive shaft, definitely noticed that it shifts into drive a bit smoother.

I also put some Mobil1 Full Synthetic 75w90 gear oil in both diffs and transfer case. The rear diff fluid looked pretty clean, just red, like tranny fluid. The transfer case looked like it was due. The front diff fluid looked like my engine oil after 5k.

Now to just get my caliper rebuild kit and get these tundra brakes cleaned up, painted, and installed.

Installed a set of 5th gen snowflake wheels with some used 255/80/17 KM2's. Still have a little Plasti-Dip to take off of the wheels.

Was going to install my ARB bumper from 4wheelparts, but it seems it didn't include any mounting hardware or brackets or anything. I called them back and got two different responses, one guy seemed to think it cost extra for those, and one thinks that it should have came with the bumper. They both said they'd call me back monday. But just to be sure, the Tacoma ARB bumper is supposed to come with that stuff right?

New shoes

New tires installed and alignment complete. Camber on the driver side was way off.

 

[ragingbull2k2]

Installed the front 1" drop diff spacer. Just need to get some shorter and longer hardware for the skid plate. Eventually I'll get an aluminum one cut out on the waterjet at work.

That does it for the front, the rear suspension needs some loving now.

 

[bigdonniebrasco]

New OEM LBJ's, water pump kit, tranny service , new muffler, TRD decal, fuel injector cleaner and a bath.

I also have plugs, wires and filters but that's another day.

Ordered the wet okole covers... and I'm still under 5k total investment

Today: Ground 3mm of each upper bush carrier for my Ebay upper adjustable rear arms, and sanded them down ready for repainting.

Yesterday: collected my custom machined high misalignment spacers for my heim joints, and a nice shiny machined alloy water pump pulley, made a best match out of my spare front axles and stripped and degreased them ready for painting and new poly boots. tidies up the work space

Day Before: My old diesel engine finally got picked up!
Also my axles went to the guy that has the press to do the wheel bearings (same guy that had my engine) also finished stripping parts I want off my landcruiser axle

 

[Wanderlust4]

I washed mine today. It's so hard to keep the white clean!

 

[ASilhouetteLie]

Did a good lil tuneup the other day... ran some seafoam though the intake, cleaned the throttle body and inside the air box, new plugs, wires, fuel filter, front o2 sensor

Started applying POR-15 as preventative maintenance. Rear end is mostly done first pass. Before (well, midway through cleaning):



And after (about four hours of cleaning and painting):



Supposed to be done in two coats, so I'm about an eighth of the way done. :Cry:

All the mounting brackets and hardware should've come with it.
