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

^^^ Yes, file it. This way there is documentation.

 

The police will get to all of those stolen tailgates right after they solve all of the murders.

 

Police dont always solve that, havent you seen law and order? Theyre detectives.. and ... investigators...not your average street cop

 

But my badges aren't derped

Exactly, I've seen people get their electronics stolen and it turned up for sale at a pawn shop

 

Finished my retrofit

 

Well it's like paint, but it's not paint. It's like the stuff you dip your tool handles in, but it's not, you spray it on like spray paint. It peels off but it looks permanent.

Hello? Hello? Are you still there?

 

Installed a U.S. Offroad winch mount.

 

So....How'd that go? I have that project in my near future.

 

It was really easy, hardest part was cutting the bumper. My advise leave way more material than you need. Then cut small amounts at a time while test fitting. Also I added the relentless fab's bumper Mounting brace plates.it took me about 2 1/2 hours start to finish on my own.

 

So....How'd that go? I have that project in my near future.

That all sounds like great advice. I'll look into the bumper mounting brace too. First I've heard of them. What kind of winch are you installing?

BTW, install looks spot on!

 

Thanks, no winch yet but I'm thinking the warn m8000s will be what I'm getting.

 

I cut out the garage door so it lowers.

Nice tone....but a bit loud. The weather's been really nice the last few days so the windows have been down. We'll see how it sounds once I'm used to it, the windows are up and it's broken in.

 

Looks good, how do you find the brightness of your DTRL and front turn signals after you blacked out the housing?

 

If I can swing it, I'll be using a Warn winch too. I've owned 3 in the past and have nothing but good things to say about 'em.

 

This wasn't technically from today, but I'm just now working on pictures from last month's trip to Colorado. I just had to go drive through the mud puddle...

 

Dremel sanded all the rust off the trailer hitch and repainted it.

Debadged the silver emblems from the tail gate and stuck a black emblem on.
Had my mechanic install my new TRD cat back exhaust. Rear hanger had to be bent to fit my pre-2013 truck. Otherwise would have installed it myself.

Drove across the street to the Toyota dealership to have them inspect the frame on my '07 and found this.

Danced for joy at the news that I would be getting a new frame and all new underbits.
(Sorry no pic available.)

 

Ah so that is the notorious spot of rust next to the exhaust that everyone talks about...i'll have to keep an eye on that area.

 

Installed these yesterday morning. Took over an hour to do it. I didn't want to mess it up again like the first round. Note to self, don't let them sit in the kitchen for over a year before you install them. Made the install time take a lot longer...
