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

Where did you get the strut bar?

 

Bought the @dirt designs coil bucket hats and then had the bar made locally. He has the pattern and can bend one up quick for you. Check out www.wolf-fab.com and ask for Austin.

 

Yeah kinda. I had little over two qrts out of the pan. Some say there should be about three. I pumped in 2.5 qrts, disconnected the return hose going from the cooler. Added extra length hose. With the truck running I pumped 2.5 qrts, shut the truck off, added 2.5 qrts. I did this four times. Right now it's shifting much better.

 

Tired of plastic bed rails

 

ooooo, I like it. +1 for being original. Did you DIY?

 

Nah I had LineX do it. Came out super clean and only waited 45 minutes.

 

How much was it for both sides?

 

$200 for both sides. Usually they charge $250 for "normal" bed rails without all the holes. I'll use the holes for running my CB antenna through and keeping bungee cords handy and what not.

 

That's not too bad. Curious to see how you like it over a long period of time vs the plastic railing.

 

I hate these plastic rails with a passion. I would buy some KB Voodoo ones, but I am such a cheap ass I am about to just take them off. I hate that my only tie down points are in the bed/track system essentially

 

There's 4 tie downs in the corners, unlimited options with the track, and you could easily throw a few D rings on the bolts holding the bed down. How much are you tying down??

 

Yes, unfortunately lol. I like electrical, but it's a hassle at times like this just for a brake light. I ended up just using splice connectors on the stop light power and ground wires.

 

I am used to having the open pockets in corners like on normal truck beds as elevated tie down points for larger taller items

 

Haven't done anything today, but a couple days ago these came in. If tires are new shoes, I suppose these are new feet?

 

I like to think they're socks, since they go inside of the shoes! And the rear hubs are the feet and the axle the legs.

I mean whhaaaattttttt??? I've totally never given this any thought

 

Well one year ago today at 6:00 PM I drove my new Tacoma off the lot from the Toyota house, seems like She's still new to me, I've had Vette's, Merc's, Jeep's and many, many more and never liked are enjoy anyone of them more than I've enjoyed Her!

 

I put 35,000 on mine in her first year.

 

Those look sooo nice!!!!

 

Went exploring up Lime Creek Road near Durango CO. Pretty cool place with great views and lots of possible water crossings.
