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

. . . ^ ^ ^ . . . I like the trailer . . . . . . was it military surplus . . .

 

It was a private sale.

There are very few available through surplus sale any more.

I used to drive a M-151 and trailer before the HMMWV was issued, so I'm familiar with it.

I did one airfield seizure where I was sitting in my chained down 151/trailer, looking out the back as we're flying. It felt a little surreal.

 

Could not see the pic

 

thats looks photo shopped!
but that thing is pretty cool

 

Does it still have the Lunette Ring?

 

Checked with my phone and saw the pic. Very cool. You are lucky to find that

 

Had 265/70/17 BFG AT/KOs installed. Just driving home I felt a world of difference from the stock Dunlops.

 

Yes, but it has non-mil tail lights and wiring.

Love the Expo rig/trailer!

 

Red LED maplights,

redline tuning hood struts and tailgate easy down. Dont really need either, but gave me something to do for the last hour.

 

Well not TODAY, but in the last few days I was busy and here is a full report.

- Installed Bilstein 5100's front/rear. Front set at 1.75"
- Installed Matt123's front skid plate. Very impressed.
- Installed Extang Trifecta Tonneau Cover
- New Goodyear Duratrac 265/70/17's installed today.

 

I have the USA-Spec ToyPA15 ipod thing which also has the white and red aux plug in's. For a while I just had a cable sticking out that I'd plug my phone into (Pandora/XM Satelite Radio)... Got tired of it and ordered the Clarion CCAAUX Aux adapter thingy.

Interested to see what kind of mpg difference you get.

Last night actually...Received my front plate last week from Matt123 ...got it installed after trim and paint. I had to slice a 1/2" off both ends to get it squeezed between my AVID lightbar. I was going to shoot it with Bedliner...but decided I wanted the contrast...so instead I shot it w/ a Rustoleum Nickel finish. Came out just like I had in my mind. I took a lot of time to tape off the "TRD"...then shot it with some black. LOOKS GREAT to me. Really happy.

Thanks Matt!

 

At the dealership getting my spiral cable recall. Also picked up an oil filter while I am here.

 

I am going to put about 150 miles of interstate and highway driving on them today so I will let you know at least initial observations.

 

Any lift in the back?

 

Stock. It now has the Bilstein 5100's in the rear, but it's the same height as before. The 2013 has the 3 leafs with the extra thicker one, so I think the rear sits a little higher?

 

Looking good!
