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

Nice upgrade

 

Found a few good size spiders in that bitch,. Now to go get a smoke bomb and set that bitch off. DAmn things ran up under the rear view mirror and under the headliner. I hate spiders..

 

Brought truck in for driveline vibe when the gas pedal is being pressed and a small roaring sound. Test driver suspects wheel bearing roar and a bad driveshaft. Waiting on diagnosis now. Shes a 2005 with 213000 miles....maybe its a midlife crisis, lol.

 

Thats called a running engine

 

Both front wheel bearings and the driveshaft u joints are bad. 1, 764 dollars parts and labor...be ready for pickup tomorrow.

 

Added some CBI sliders.

 

Got my clock spring recall done,in 30 minutes at the dealer. Light is finally off, so far so good.

 

Huskyliner floor mats (the cheap base ones not those Supremes or whatever they're called), some Seatcover brand seat covers from Covercraft.com. A Stant locking gas cap, and deer whistles (yeah, I know, $5 wasted, but what the hell).

 

went from this

to this

 

any issues taking out bolts? do any prep of the bolts before removing?

 

had one top mount bolt that was a pain just cause of location and one sway bar link bolt other then that went smooth also replaced two cv axles took a little over 8 hours by myself.

 

It cost me that for one wheel bearing in NJ - be happy !

 

My Rigid Leds came in WoooHooooo

 

Spot or flood?

 

Floods

 

Before.... (already started taking off the badges..)



AFTER:



Closeup:



It's hard to see from the pic... but I plasti-dipped the emblem, painted all the chrome part, gun metal like the front grill emblem, and cleared over all of it.

You guys think I should do the "TACOMA" emblem too???

 

I would looks good by the way. :thumbup:

 

wut?

 

His badges

 

Had this taco a week now so time to personalize it some.

I installed a billit grill....
Then I hacked the emblem and surrounding center out of the old grill then whittled and filed until I had a custom ''logo'ed'' billit grill.

and last was to remove the stock skid plates, scrub, degrease and give them a new look with an aluminum silver Rusto rattle bomb.. Not to bad for a day off from work..
