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

Haven't done much yet, trying to decide on parts but I did swap out the chrome with a body color grille and plastidip'd the rear bumper until I figure out what I want to do with it.

Changed Engine & Cabin air filters. Both were really dirty after 2 months of hunting & driving on dusty logging/forest roads.

 

Got my 2nd gen Taco a wife!
The happy couple...

 

I was thinking the same thing... those would be my summer rubber. I remember trying my BFG All-Terrain T/A KO's in the winter once... nope.

 

Nice! You get a manual one?

 

Tranny? No. 2WD automatic.

 

Then you can only use the stock 265/65/17. Well you could probably get two 255/70 on there. Narrower but having the extra height. I got 265/70/17, the rub is very minor. Taking off the front mudguards will eliminate it too. I'm not too concerned with it.

 

Nice, I got my duratracs on yesterday too. I'm just gonna keep them on all year round. Also got black TRD rims

 

Not today, but I was playing around seeing how much I still need to trim out of my fenders.

 

Won't even run them in the winter unless there's a few inches or more of snow. So they won't get much use. On when the white stuff flies, off when the snow is gone. This will be my first experience with the Duratracs. I've always used dedicated snow tires on in the past...mostly Firestone WinterForce...with great results. If the Duratracs don't do what I want they'll go up for sale and snow tires will go on for next winter.

I've just got the 2 steel rims and will only use the Duratracs in deeper snow. Otherwise, they'll just sit in the garage. I have a PreRunner and just want to settle the rear down some and give me some extra drive-traction. This formula has worked for me for many years. I certainly wouldn't recommend this setup on a front wheel drive vehicle. But on a RWD it's just fine.

 

Lol on the bike? That's like saying haha I can do it on my own two feet!

 

Replaced my factory speakers with Focal component speaker in the front doors and JBL's in the rear doors.
Dynamatted all the doors and used the XTC speaker covers for inside the doors.
My music seems cleaner and clearer and will see what they are like on a road trip tomorrow.
Forgot got to take pics of the focal tweeter mount, will take some tomorrow.

 

Anyone here attempt to insulate the back wall of your truck to reduce road noise?

 

Allpro HD sliders a few weeks ago

285/70R/17s this week

 

Nope, just the floor. Reduced the noise a good amount.

 

Grill guard to keep deer and hogs from causing maximum damage.

 

I ordered enough product for the back wall and the rear floor. I'm hoping I get a good result. What product did you two use?

 

I think most of the noise comes from the back wall and rear floor, so I'm trying those first. I may have to do the doors later.

 

Lots of Luck on the Hogs, your gonna need it, there is something about a brick-wall just not giving!
