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

She got her first clay bar/polish/wax since I've had her. Cleans up real nice. Fluid film on the underside tomorrow and derping the badges in the near future.

 

Well, crap. I just noticed the damn dent I put in my rear bumper last night. Had to drive to the community pool, because carrying food, drinks and everything else for 6 people to BBQ was a pain in the ass. The spot was super tight and on the way out I backed into guard rail because I was too busy looking out for cars on both sides of me. It was pitch black and did not look too bad in the dark. I just realized its much worse that it looked like. This sucks... But then again... It's a truck and I'll put on Pelfreybuilt at some point.

 

Ouch Bummer

 

Same thing happened to me although I think someone backed into me. Don't know when it happened but I can't stop looking at it. Oh well, I guess the Pelfrey HCB just got a bump on the mod list.

 

Thats a nice looking setup. There standard head units suck. Did you notice an improvement in the speakers? I upgraded my head unit to a kenwood and it was a major improvement.

Here is what I did today. What sucks is that (though you can't tell by the picture) the angles were absurd enough that I couldn't get up this even locked in the rear. What a pain. I'm hurt by my trucks lack of motivation.

 

Do you have 4wd?? What do you have for tires?

 

SWB Master Race.

 

Lol. Yes. Four wheel drive with locker in rear. It's hard to tell, maybe this picture is a little better. My back left tire is skimming the ground, and the left was just burning out. I will admit, my tires suck.. I have Toyo open country at2's but they need to be changed out within the next 20 k miles. I'm sure they would be okay new, but with that much wear and tear they aren't doing much. I'm sure if I dedicated to getting up, (deflate tires, multiple routes) I shoulda made it. But it should not have required it.

 

De-badged my truck today. It was simple. Really hot day, truck in the sun, new truck. Friend had a Delrin (think teflon but tougher) wedge. That was all we needed. Slid that behind the badges and they peeled right off. A little cleaner that was safe for paint, (he had it, don't know what it was) and it was all gone. Sorry no pictures.

 

Mine is 18 months. Life would not be the same w/o her.

 

Absolutely it was an improvement. It is night and day. Stock speakers don't sound anything like they did before (bad) with the new Pioneer (good). So good I'm going to delay speaker upgrades for awhile and do other stuff.

 

Drove around in the woods all weekend

 

went to a friends house and almost exactly 4 months later (1 day off), 3000 miles on the odo, 97k more miles til shes broken in

 

Pulled my side step bars off... I like the look a lot better

 

My brother put his seats in! Just a few more things and then the interior and stereo will be done

 

Finally got around to doing my bed light mod, Don't have to load up the raptor in the dark anymore...

 

Got back from a 3300mi trip in the PNW camping with my SO, had a big mile mark during the trip, 3 months of ownership and counting!

 

I rolled 35.5k tonight.

 

Installed this topper I found on CL over the weekend.....
