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

That rack is interesting. I'm guessing it's a one off/custom?

 

Yes it is. I wanted to be able to travel with the tent down but still be able to utilize the full annex when the tent was open.

 

Umm no.....

 

It's something I've been looking for. Keep the drag/center of gravity down, but still able to use the annex. I picked up another rack which puts the tent about 2" above cab height packed, but it's still about 3-4" short of using the annex.

 

That Apex is a sweet looking bumper

 

That's a bad ass setup

 

OHHH! There's a scissor jack there!

 

Got these from Amazon.com. Nothing fancy but I like them.

 

Sanded the Chrome grill down, primer, Base coat, Clear coat. Also debadged my tail gate and the paint came off with the Emblems!?! So... sanded the tail gate , primer, base coat, and clear coat... Next I want NFab and make a Raptor style TOYOTA grill. Trying to find some cheap lettering around close by

 

Got to make one of these!!!!!

 

Same thing happened to me when I debadged my tailgate but I sure don't have the balls to sand my tailgate and repaint it lol
Looks like a pretty good paint job

 

I bet she is like a shadow since she has found that new loving family....

 

Oh yeah, and sometimes it drives me nuts but I know she means no harm. Sometimes we will be spread around the house and she will just pace back and forth between the three of us keeping tabs on "her pack."

 

We adopted a border collie from the shelter and he herds everyone. It was annoying at first, but now we play games with him to encourage it. It pisses the older cocker spaniel off to no end.

 

I have the same grill guard. At least the frame mounts took the brunt of the impact. Any higher and it might have been worse.

 

This is one of the reasons I wish I had the 6' bed. Welcome!

 

Anyone know how to wire a second camera into a 12-15' with a stock camera in the radio? and route them both through a switch...

 

and now for an unglamorous report................I sensed shenanigans were afoot and sure enough, my water pump has been working on a secret project inside the pulley but it was all for not as it could not escape my detection. Also time to do flush/fill kit and change the who knows, original, anti freeze. Got truck at 50k and at 140k and I haven't ever messed with it. So minimum it has been in there at least 90k. Alert - the red anti freeze can look ok in the overflow jug but it was really more of an orange weak looking sauce than what it should be, plus i have been diluting it for awhile in support of my water pump's project. Went back with oem pump/gasket, some 150k long life antifreeze & now time for project 2 - valve cover gasket, plugs, oil/filter & checking head bolt torque while there.

 

If all goes well, for this weekend I have a few things planned to finally get to. First up, install my RedLine hood struts. Second up, install my compass = temp mirror from Bob's Mirrors. While doing that, thinking about removing the grill and doing the horn relocation, maybe. Guess we'll see how well everything goes and if I feel "strong and comfortable" enough to do what I'd like to do.
