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

Correct about the lug nuts, but the TPMS can be made to work. Just did it on my 2013 PreRunner.

 

No clue, I haven't had the chance to take it off road yet. They were on the truck when I bought it. I doubt I'd have much trouble if I get to wheeling where the running boards are hitting stuff I will get sliders.

 

Wanted to keep my cooler inside while wheeling since it's kinda shitty and doesn't do well in the sun, but I also didn't want it to smack me in the back of the head. $8 later, bam! These D rings are surprisingly secure paired with those washers. That thing isn't going anywhere.


I also got my hi lift in and mounted! The DIY thread is spot on with its measurements and everything. Only thing I did different was use 1/2" carriage bolts in the rail. Also had to take the base plate off so it'd fit with my toolbox.

 

Cool ideas man looks great! i actully like the cooler mount.

 

Thanks!

PS I love your sig. Cracks me up every time I see it.

 

Haha glad you like it! actully let me post something i just did on my taco in a second.

Just went to a guy i know to get a bumper made for my upcoming build thread and for a bolt on its not to bad. Still need to cut the lower cross-member and install a full skid on the underside that replaces the stock one. However, that is in due to for now i love the way it sits. Still need a paint job!

Enjoy!

 

Ohhhhh that is clean that hint of black makes a difference.

Looks good great idea , i have those d-rings, i was going to mount them in the bed but they interfere with the tailgate where i was going to use them. Who makes that basket rack? Looking for a narrow one to mount on my thule rack next to my ski box. ..

 

Yeah it does, the black chrome finish is just right. Not too dark or too light

 

Highland 1041900 U-Venture Steel Rooftop Cargo Basket, Old Style

It's made surprisingly well with how inexpensive it is. Here's another shot of it.

 

Not a bad price at all, love how its easy to attach to the bed bars and has other mounting points like the shovel mount. What exactly is holding the rack to the bed bar?

 

What are the dimensions if you don't in looking, the Amazon ad has it at 18"wide that can't be right

 

It's mounts that come with the basket itself. All great quality.

The shovel mount is some quick fists just zip tied on there with some heavy duty black zip ties. Works great

If I ever need to throw something big in the bed, I can undo the 8 bolts and lift the bars, basket and case out in one piece in about 5 minutes, which is handy.

 

Yeah, that's the shipping box. Let me run outside real quick.

 

It's 35" wide, 43" long and ~5" high.

 

Thx

 

Mounted my LED light bar with the stealth APEX mounts I got in a sweet group buy!

 

Made a recovery point.
