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

Probably the manufacturer.

 

Stainless 2" ball showed up today.

 

There's a really good alignment shop in my town but you have to get an appointment like a week in advance

 

Been putting in a few hours here & there on my raptor grille. Decided to do a thin lip instead of fully recessing it, wasn't happy with a few spots of my bondo work. No idea how people do this in a weekend, altho a few of those I've seen & they're "good from far" lol. Break time over, time for more Super White rattle ran!

 

Cool. First impressions on the tent?

 

Yes I did I've been trolling to make sure I didn't newb myself.

 

Heres a better shot of the under bumper lights -

 

Thanks

 

Is there still chrome plating over the ball? Stainless can gall more easily.

 

has anybody seen blue/bill i was going to tell him about the wild birds i'm baby sitting

 

Cleaned it

 

Got my hi-lift mounts on-a-budget installed and work perfect. Designed for mounting to Jeep hoods, these brackets are robust, pre-painted, and ready to install. The hardware for mounting the brackets to the hood won't work for the rails, but a t-nut or bolt and washer setup work just as well. There's even a hole in the bracket to use a padlock if wanted. Total cost was under $40 with hardware.

Installed OEM bed extender. First use . . . Picking up way too much paint for this week's project of painting a cabin.

 

hey if your unlucky enough to spill it in your truck bed i can tell you how to fix it now

 

Straight stainless, I don't tow often and if I do I will put the steel ball & ball mount back in.

 

Don't feel bad... I've never had luck with used vehicles. Ever. The last one I had ( Chevy Malibu )was traded in for a new 2007 taco after it was fixed at the Chevy/Toyota dealership ship. Lol. Straight out of service and into sales in the same fuckin parking lot. I've never bought another used anything

 

If he stopped now, I would wonder if he was dead, or in jail.

 

Attention to detail isnt quite as good as higher quality tents.

I took a file to all the unfinished edges, and the ladder mounts are crooked.

Besides that, looks awesome.

Heading out in the morning for an overnight, and I expect rain. So ill report back.

 

Ordered B110s because I've apparently lost all will power, the truck is now in control of this build.
