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

Nice wheels!

 

What kind of reception are you getting with the stubby antenna? I have on but use the long one because of how bad the reception is on the stubby.

 

How heavy is the front skid? 80 lb? Shouldn't cause a performance loss on its own, since it weighs less than an adult passenger.

Corrosion protection on these Toyota steelies is surprisingly good. No rust on them after five salty winters.

 

stubby sucked for me, horrible reception

 

Yup. Looks cool but doesn't work too well

 

The RCI front steel skid is 65lbs

 

Thanks. From start to finish it took a bit more work and time than I anticipated, but I'm pretty happy with the finished product. Still have plenty on the list though... Sliders, front bumper, roof rack, it never ends.

 

In all honestly I haven't had any issues with it and I seem to get good reception and I actually do hear the radio daily. I know some people on here have had horrible experiences with reception, but I guess it really depends on where you live. Seems to be a hit or miss with these. They do look cool though

 

just gave her a bath...

 

this 12" one is working fine for me

 

i installed the sway bar relocate..i also had the stubby antenna. i ran it for about a year and had to unscrew it once a week or it would get stuck/locked. crappy reception and switched back the the factory antenna.

 

I swapped to a 2' CB antenna and haven't looked back. I hardly ever listen to radio but when I do the reception is great.

 

Installed front coilovers on my dads '14. Tomorrow is leaf springs from All-Pro and rear shocks

 

How many miles have you gotten out of your dynapro's?

 

Detailed with some friends today.

Did a thorough wash, then my first claybar then waxed. Loving the results. Amazing to see the impurities and paint contamination on a brand new truck (rail rust, dust, etc). Highly suggested




smooth

 

Took off the front bumper and added a front hoop to my bumper build. Thing took forever to get level and notched correctly.

 

Installed my CBI ditch lights

 

I picked up my (new) 2013 Tacoma TX Baja from my parents this afternoon. Then I cleaned out the garage some to make sure it would fit since it is slightly longer than the '03 4Runner it's replacing. I swapped the car seats over and while there is slightly less room for them it should still be plenty for years to come as long as we don't add a third one! Finally I added it to the insurance to get it ready to drive tomorrow. It is an adjustment coming from a 2WD v8 T4R but it's not that bad. A lot more piece of mind with something that has a few more safety features, and a lot less miles.
