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

You can say again.

 

rust protection on 2014 ? I TOUGHT IT WAS JUST FOR THE OLDER MODELS .. anyway since I live in Texas we get no snow , I shouldn't worry about right ?

 

I live at the Beach!! The Gulf of Mexico is salt water. I take care of my truck bud!!!

 

Got me wondering if I should do the same...we go to the beach a lot and the roads on Pawley's Island flood from the salt marsh every time it rains.

 

It's personal preference. It wouldn't hurt. I've decided to do it on a 6 month cycle. It's just a thin layer of protection. I used gloves and detail applicator. I like the T-9.

 

First oil change and tire rotation at 6 months owned. Opted to pay the extra for Mobil 1 since it has done so well on the wife's grocery getter.

 

Just got around to posting this now. Did it not this past weekend, but the weekend before. Installed my BPF skid plate. I have a bull bar on it now, so because I wanted to keep it on, for the time being, my buddy and I had to do some "modification" to it. Basically had to cut into the tube at the bottom to allow the skid plate to fit. We're no experts at this, but whatever, it fits. Choppy cutting skills. Looks like it's touching/rubbing, but it's not. The bull bar is still sturdy and not bending or shaking or anything like that, due to us cutting into it. Maybe one day I'll take it off, when I coat the skid plate with a better liner than the powder coating it came with.



Also put on the tow hook that it came with, since I bought the skid plate when they were doing the discount/deal for it. Now just have to buy the shackle to clip on there.



And finally, a crappy pic of it mounted on, from underneath. Yeah, I know, my photography skills leave a lot to be desired, but I sure as hell wasn't going to lay down on the salted asphalt (due to the snow storm), on my lunch break at work!



Let the begin for having a bull bar on, and cutting into it.

 

Nice truck Jim! But if you're on the Gulf you might wanna get a little more aggressive with the protection. I watched an old Volvo from the 80's disintegrate in about 5 years on Galveston's west end. I think the swedes must've dipped them in tar at the factory as heavy as that car was under coated. That heavy salt air still got it, quick! Good luck!

 

Thanks. I'll stay on it!! Appreciate the info.

 

If someone hasn't already asked.. part # or link?

 

They are different for the 12-15s but this is the one I used for my 07. I would do a different search for your truck. I think yours are H11.

It's your truck Nuno, you do with it what makes you happy, who cares what anybody else thinks! Nice job though making it fit like a glove.

 

Thank you and you're right. H11s ordered!

 

Hmmm, I have the same wheels but I am running the center caps. I might have to remove them when I rotate my tires in a couple weeks.

 

I have a 2015 and it says the H11's won't fit mine.

 

Replaced the broken URD SS with a new stock one this has happend twice just to much stress on the stock shifter with the URD short shifter like the short throw but can't keep throwing money away

 

The vice grips got me home

 

Pretty sure the girlfriend is going to murder me when she gets off work.

Who do I gotta bug to get a TacomaWorld decal?

 

Are you going to mount it on your oem roof rack?

And tcbob

 

I bought a Yakima rack also that I'm waiting to be delivered. It's gonna go over the bed. Actually bought the mounts off this guys truck and just waiting on the x-bars to be delivered.
