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

Prepped my truck for inspection this evening. Removed the wheel spacers. Installed the back seats. Disconnected the any time foglights. And dropped it off to get inspected and emissions done tomorrow.

Kinda shitty that PA still has inspection and emissions

 

Got them from Amazon, around $50 shipped.

well its not today but the past 3 days off and on due to the rain.

 

What's the cutout for? fairlead and winch?

 

My Ex-wife would ask you were you gonna put the refrigerator when we need to move it?

 

I guess that makes it ok. Oh by the way there's also chrome on the sport mirror turn signals. A little chrome is ok.

 

Is that why she's the ex-wife?

 

Yes still have some things to do. D ring mounts and mount the winch

Here's what I did in the past two days...

 

DIY?

 

Yes... Baked the housing and put the HID with Shroud with Dual-angel ring and turn signal from eBay! $120. Very nice and easy to fit!

 

Looks like you did a great job!

 

Halos on your fogs? Do that yourself?

 

Link please?

 

I want this. How?

 

Made some brackets for my hi-lift jack after work today. I'll get better pics tomorrow.

 

Went to the bodyshop to see how my box/tailgate/roof repaint is coming along. Trying to keep the body lasting as long as the new frame now.

The fenders looked surprisingly good behind the flares. Body guy was super surprised. Corrosion along the bed rails is being repaired, as well as any spidering he's found elsewhere. The bed rail corrosion was promoted by the weight of my cap on the plastic rail covers, wearing into the paint. I'm brainstorming for solutions at the moment, but I believe I'm going to get the top of the box and tailgate sprayed with Line-X to prevent future wear under the plastic caps, regardless of future plans for the cap. Body guy also found and properly fixed an interesting half-assed tailgate repair done by the dealership I bought from (I'm second owner - I bought it Toyota Certified Used at 24 months old and knew of a minor repair they were doing).

Lots of roof corrosion along the windshield line caused by rock chips, which was what prompted me to get this started. Caught the issues soon enough that I didn't need to have the windshield pulled.

Looking for info on door handle parts replacement, any info would be awesome. Started a thread for that over here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...oor-handle-assemblies-what-to-replace.385623/

 

That's why I have a trailer.
