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

@TacoMan I can only keep it up as long as people keep posting what the do to their Tacomas!!!

With that being said....YALL KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!

 

@ChadsPride needs to convince the mods to let you like your own posts. Maybe even add some filters while we are at it.

 

did you just tape off the rotors and everything to paint the Calipers?

 

Thats what I wanna know, probably had to remove them....dude, we need some pics of your roof bar on at night from the cabbage....

 

no, used a 1" cheap brush and brushed it on carefully... Por 15 come in tiny/expensive cans, not spray if you aren't familiar...love the stuff though

 

I need to wire it up still Gonna rty tonight or tomorrow morning.

ahhh ok. I'll have to check into it. came out great, and applying with a brush might be a hell of a lot easier. thanks

 

The calipers were relatively easy, surprisingly you don't have to remove them ( even per Por 15's rec) just brush off any loose rust and make sure they are free of grease. Por 15 sells a kit with some cleaner but I just used degreaser and alcohol. used a cheap brush to brush it on, about 15-20 minutes a side. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-POR-15-...:g:IbwAAOSwtJZXUcNe&item=350870094577&vxp=mtr is what I bought, there's enough to do at least 4 calipers

 

I looked through that thread and noticed that it says there will only be one breather under the hood for manual transmission Tacos. I definitely have 2. One is obviously the front diff, but is the other trans or t case? Maybe I should consult my owner's manual...

I generally avoid deep water, but one never knows where one will end up.

 

No accidents on the car fax and autocheck that I ran.

71k, I bought it with 69k miles on it.

 

De-badged the tailgate. Will do the doors tomorrow.

I used an old Starbuck's gift card. Not a fisherman so I didn't have any line laying around. The card worked perfectly. Five minutes and I had them all off. Just slid it behind the letters and used a sawing motion and they came right off.

 

Anyone looking to do this, please don't use the rest of the paint to paint the rear brake drums.

Front brake calipers paint red = looks good.
Rear brake drums painted red = looks like a terrible old rusty corolla with a lot of Autozone stick-on chrome pieces added on.

Ah okay that makes sense. Sucks man sorry to hear that.

 

Mall rated armor added.

 

Bang!!! Slider adapter and hi lift mounts in 2 days! @Shmellmopwho is the man!
So good and I didn't even ask for the powder coat!

 

Hahahaha awesome! I'm glad you're stoked!! Thanks for you support man. I hope they serve you well. Once you get the hi lift mounts installed post a pic up on my fab thread. Thanks dude. And that paint looks like PC but it's just this awesome industrial spray paint that I use. I only see this paint at the 2 metal shops that I go to for material. Never see it any hardware store near me.

 

Topper, tint, and organizers. Dip the wheels and steps next. Maybe de-badge.
