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

Got an alignment and the truck rides a lot better!

 

First i was using the old plastic bag hanging off the shifter knob. Definitely not the move in a new truck. So I bought a 2 gallon garbage can and put said plastic bag in it and wedged it behind the passenger seat and presto! Garbage can mod!..... And sorry to hear about getting towed man, really wish I had a good solution for your problem.

 

Ya I was too lazy to lower the spare

 

Is your Tacoma 4x4? If so isn't that the wrong way to tow?

 

Why would that be the wrong way to tow?

Don't the front CV shafts spin freely when not engaged in 4wd?

 

Black badges today. I'm not sure if I like them or not yet.

Also came across a really good deal on a Tonnopro tri fold cover. Found it locally on eBay for $50 brand new! I think I'll try it out and see how I like having a cover. Hopefully it'll keep some stuff out of sight.

 

According to the driver, this is the correct way to tow. With the truck in 2wd, the front axles rotate freely. This way, it's not possible to damage the transmission, which is what they're concerned with.

 

Funny story. So of course i have it disabled but that damn light would always still flash at me. Well one time I was taking my seat out for the billionth time and I forgot about the smaller wiring harness. I ripped the ground wire out of it. All it did was turn off that blinking light... Haha WOOHOO

 

Black emblem and removed rear badges.

 

. 255s?

 

On my '06 I just reached under the seat and unplugged the lead for the seatbelt. No chime, no light

 

Finally plasti-dipped my emblems. Waiting on my BHLM retros to come in, I think it'll make the front end look a lot better.

 

285/75/16's

 

I love my black emblems.

 

Bitch! lol

 

Never liked the texture of the center/shifter console

sanded it smooth and painted gloss black

(just a little dusty lol)


took a lot of work to get it smooth, rounded off the edges. very happy with the results

 

Nice job man, id imagine that took a bit to get smooth.

 

thanks man. yeah probably like 8 hours of sanding. Had to do it by hand as to not damage it. started with 60 grit coarse sand paper, then kept going up, ended with 600 grit wet sand. You have to go pretty deep to finally get the texture smooth. Used a Dremel a bit to help round the edges more and get everything even.

 

Ay that must have taken a while!

 

Looks good
