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

you need to set her straight.... statements like that make for ex-wifes

 

replaced my 08 reg cab's tired 3 leaf packs with fresh 2012 4 packs with 5k miles or less on them. got .75 lift vs. the old ones. much sturdier and quieter. added steel tailgate reinforcement panel. mounted hi-lift to bed rail with allpro mounts and locking knobs cable locked to d-ring. ordered bully tool fg handle shovel and relentlessfab quickfist bedrail mounts. LR UCAs / alignment have moved to top of to do list of projects waiting to get done.......on the truck. Got car and bike projects backed up too.

 

Sounds like you need the 'new wife' mod.

 

Yeah, like getting rid of your crappy comments!

 

Looks good. I also bought mine from mattgecko. Where did you get that pin switch?

 

Congrats! I hate to be that guy but you might want to check the angle of that car seat. The back angle looks very steep for a new born. If his head slumps forward he can suffocate himself. It "looks" like it needs a pad underneath so the baby lays more horizontal.

 

Lol swap the baby and driver. Quite the horizontal lay in that driver seat.

 

Well, I picked up the broken pieces to my taillight. I came home from walking the dog and discovered it broken. Wondering what happened and a bit pissed off thinking someone did it maliciously, I went in the house. A minute later, a neighbor came over and told me it was a couple kids on bikes. One of them hit it on accident.

So...I need to buy a new one. Any recommendations on cool after-market taillights?

 

Check with the local police department. They should have a certified car seat installer. I'm not one, but I know for certain size car seats (possibly rear facing) they use pool noodles for the install. BTW- congrats on the best mode ever!

 

I would check out the black Depo tail lights.

Adding some off-road lighting relays and built the power and control harness for it today.

I broke a tail light a few months back and went with the black depo lights for replacements. I like them. There's pics in my build thread if you want some more

 

Got some new tires, Goodyear Duratracs.

 

It has been checked out and deemed properly set up by a certified installer (coincidentally my landlord/neighbor was due within 4 days of my wife so they went together), however I could get a second opinion, safety first of course. I believe it is more flat than it looks, but appreciate the concern.

 

Good job, I had a design identical to this (minus the professional draftwork) and haven't yet built it. I was going to use these for the adjustable arms.

Towed my Integra out to a local (2hrs+) drag strip event today.

I just trimmed off the plastic end until the tailgate shut completely and the switch grounds itself in the metal where it is mounted.

 

How / where does this attach? does this go in the bed?

 

thats exactly how i planned on doing mine
