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

Bought supplies to dip my badges.

 

Thanks taco, they got the shake out of the steering wheel, but now it wonders all over the place.

 

If it is wandering with the caster set that high, they definitely screwed the pooch on that alignment, as the numbers indicate. I'd talk to the manager and make sure he gets a competent tech on it to make it right. That can make all the difference.

 

Got a free car wash while I was inside at work! #rain

 

2" Add a leaf and ubolt flip. Still haven't found my bumpstops that my kid took off with. Guess I'm gonna order them again.

 

What height setting is this set at?

 

Installed steps today they are kinda heavy... already bad enough I got bigger tires.

 

How does it sound? I've got a trd exhaust but I like the looks of the dual exit with black tips on the flowmaster catback...and I want something a bit louder.

 

I bought 12 cans of the Rust-oleum version of Plasti-Dip. White, because black truck + Arizona sun = misery. Looking for suggestions on the fender flares/grille/rear bumper, white as well or black?

 

your plasti-dipping the whole truck? you could do roll on bed liner on the bumpers ans along the rockers for added durability

 

I am doing the whole truck, but I would like the option of going back to stock again if I end up somewhere that isn't 112 during the summer.

 

with aerosol cans i'd tackle that project in sections. they make a gun where you can buy it by the gallon and spray it but with only 1 vehicle to do that's not practicle. wanting the option ti return to stock idk if would use the bedliner but if truck is black once you peeled off the plastidip on the upper panels it may look really good with the black bedliner lower panels and painted upper panels there are a bunch of youtube videos

 

Bushwacker fender flares Linex'd no more goddamn scratches in my fender flares....

 

I may just start with the temporary option and see how it looks, it's definitely a good idea and would probably look great. I just haven't fully committed to the idea yet. I was going to redo my bed anyways.

 

have you sprayed the plasti dip aerosol before? it leaves a textured finish. it's easy to work with though

 

I haven't done plasti-dip specifically but I have done lots of research. It should dry quickly at 103 and 5% humidity.

 

yes, yes it will and it sprays a little better when it's warmer also. i do body and paint for a living and just started playing with this stuff a couple of months ago it's pretty neat stuff. just make sure the surface is clean. you don't need to scuff it or anything.

 

Why not dig it out yourself? It can't be that deep. Put on your big boy panties.

Or.... Do as my grandfather always said. "Soak it in cider"

 

I wish I was around to see this in person.

 

I'll try to remember to take pictures, unless you're talking about the 112 degrees... if you want to see 112, I suggest just turning on a space heater in a room with no ventilation.
