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

Is that you welding, Ice Horse?

 

Nope not me. Friend of mine, she welds much better than I do

 

At least you can weld, I'm just now getting ready to learn

 

I wouldn't trust myself to weld anything significant yet though

 

Gotta learn sometime. I'm going the TIG route

You want this one. I ended up cutting off the picket, padding and all fabric in the back, exposing plastic backing. Velcro strips hold much better that way

 

Yeah! In nags head for vacation

 

If you are going to be running wires thru there alot over time, take a Bic pen and take it apart. Use the tube to go thru firewall. Then you can get some wires thru there easily. I wish I would of done this!!!

It'll be something like this.

 

Did some wheeling yesterday with all kinds of rigs, even some Heeps

 

Got a set of EGR window visors from my GF. These things fit and look great!

 

Moved my plug.

 

Snip snip

 

Got rid of that shit cloth on the door panels for some black vinyl.



Matches the top section pretty well.

 

Looks fantastic Dane

 

Hauled project #2 home

 

Is there a thread detailing this method?

 

No, I don't think so. I just took the angle iron idea from someone else and just kinda went with it.

 

Here's a quick sketch I just did in paint for you.
Blue= 4" piece of metal stock
Black=angle iron

 

Only one tag light is only required in TX?

 

I added grey Covercraft SeatSaver waterproof cotton/twill covers to the backseat of my DCLB. Wet Okole's up front but I wanted something tougher in the back for my pooch. So far I like them. Very similar to Carhartt material without paying the extra 40 or 50 bucks for the logo.

I also got a Delorme InReach SE satellite messenger to keep me in touch when I'm off the grid. It's got an SOS function like the SPOT transmitters but this can also be used to send and receive text messages to cell phones, email addresses, or other InReach units. With each message is a link to a map showing your location, and the lat/long. I bought it primarily for hunting season but will be nice to have in the truck year round. On the highway alone, I routinely drive 4 hour stretches without cell reception or meeting another vehicle and up to an hour between houses. Instant 911 in accident or contact a tow in a breakdown. 16 bucks a month isn't bad. I also found a promo good for a few more days that gives you lifetime 15% off plan rates.
