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

picked my truck up from the dealership after having the fame brake lines lower control arms and rear leaf springs all replaced free of charge ($13,000) on Wednesday went and got some new shoes bf goodys tako2s 285/75/16 next brakes and inner passenger tie rob end

 

Did I do something? I can't see the "talked about items" at the bottom of the pages.

 

Added my high-lift jack

 

I'm jealous as I don't have my bumper yet. My truck looks awkward to me with the factory bumper and the glass fenders.

 

SOS Concepts bumper and bolt-on sliders. Need 33s and better suspension than 5100s now lol.

 

Looks damn good!

 

Thanks man!

 

Made my first attempt at the Ben Wa sliding rear window bracket using 1/8th inch aluminum, rivets and a dremel. Not pretty and not functional. 1/8th is too thick with the rubber gasket in place.

 

So many mods and so little money. I want to do all kinds of things like this, but cash is hard to come by. Think I've spend close to 350 in the past couple weeks and have 400 earmarked for esp truck's lockable storage bins.

 

Yeah man, same here, been saving up for a while, bought during a sale etc lol. Still lots to do :moneypit:

 

I took on a second job that helps a lot. Have a contract to assemble tiny Toyota parts at home

 

I lied, this is starting to look like Win

 

Toytec extended brake lines front and rear.

 

Good idea but the rivets may interfere with attaching your cable.

 

Here's one of them. Some sort of door clip covered in felt

 

Did somebody say 'Merica

 

Got some new-to-me wheels. SCS F5 Bronze, with some LT265/75R16 tires already on them. Works good for me as I am debating moving up in tire size so this lets me check it out without buying new ones and then possibly regretting it later.

Before:


After:


Tires will have to be replaced fairly soon, but will last long enough for me to make a decision as to what size to go with. A little concerned with the added height and weight bogging my 2.7 down, but so far so good on the drive home.

 

Yep, I sure did!

 

I do not understand the idea behind flying a huge American flag behind a Japanese truck. I just cannot seem to grasp the purpose, outside of being obnoxious.

 

1. Fresh oil & filter
2. New engine air filter
3. New cabin air filter
4. Dusted off and reinstalled the satellite radio
5. Full tank of gas!
