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

You win!

 

Gotta love Springfield's. I'd put a lock on that center console though. Nice setup!

 

I would just print the one, fill mouth area first for one piece of a final 3 piece mold, then Cast from wax to do the castings. It would let you make a sprue with multiples so you can only make one casting pour and have your pick of the best. Then sell the rest.

 

Stopped at HD on the way home tonight and picked one up, they are in the lighting department.

 

Damn you.......damn you............ M U S T HAVE!!!!!!!!

 

That's a "build" of a whole different type....

 

Havent done anything to it today, but i think i might take a scenic landscape style pic of it tomorrow for sig or fb timeline thing

 

Looks killer man!

 

Received my Seahorse 1530 box today for my roof rack. I would say about 2/3 the quality of a Pelican Case but at a much better price. Just need to bolt it down.
Now I have a little more storage room for recovery gear..... When I say recovery gear I mean diapers and wipes and extra clothes!

 

And when the gun is not there it will knock the passengers arm off the armrest if they get too close.

 

"Recovery gear" lol!! I have learned dipes n wipes are some really handy recovery gear to keep in the truck for ALL overlanding!

 

Finally got my rear view camera back after going to a swing out. $3 and a couple mins of my time

 

Got my hew headlights for the melted DTRL lens. For you guys spending big bucks on headlights...are you doing anything to protect them?

 

What is the deadline for this? 50,000 miles?

 

Ugh.







Went to check the tire pressure in the spare tire just because. Turns out the valve cap was seized to the TPMS sensor. used a wrench to try to remove the cap. Snapped the TPMS sensor. fortunately I was able to pop the bead and install a rubber valve stem.

The funny thing about this was I got my front tires replaced today and one of the sensors snapped when my tire guy was mounting them. He had to install a rubber valve stem in one wheel.

I had the caps off of them in the spring so within a few months they corroded enough to where the caps wont come off. I want to check the air pressure in the rear tires, but Im afraid the sensors will break in them too. Guess its time to go buy a handful of spare rubber stems and prepare for the worst.

 

Not long after I had mine printed someone started selling them on etsy for $10. Not sure how the quality is but for $10 but hey it's worth a shot compared to what I originally paid. The product images look a little rough but nothing some sanding can't fix.

I used a special melt-in M8 threaded brass insert for mine off McMaster Carr. Worked out pretty well but I need to add some more structure on the inside as it feels a little unsupported given the shift knob is so light.

 

It's the urban/family/little kids kind of overlanding

 

Any mileage at this point in time. Later on they will start putting a max on it. Let me look for the document...

Couldn't find the TSB/extended warranty/safety recall...whatever they're considering this one. Check here to see if it (or others) applies to your truck:

Put antisieze on them suckers asap

Doesn't show up for my 2005, but I want them.

Did you have to bring in the melted headlights?

 

Thank you
