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

Aaaaand Sub-Zero posts some insane 35's at the same time as me. Seriously thought about deleting my post and trying again later when I have a buffer.

 

Wow, a busy day!!!

 

Holy shit man. That looks awesome.

I'm digging the mount! I've been running a fire extinguisher back there for awhile.

 

I am currently using just a suction cup phone mount (which seemed the best rated on Amazon) but I really don't like the shake/vibration it gets while driving. How solid is this mod with the Ram mount?

 

Very solid. I got the short two inch mount vs. the longer one most guys are installing. A lot more stiffer and less in the way of blocking the view. These are meant for motorcycles so imagine the vibration those must put out.

 

Jealous because your setup is cleaner than mine. lol

 

Tonka truck. effin sick bro

 

Shouldn't be to hard to find one...I called around to all of the local body shops and ended up getting mine color matched for 300.

 

The sides didn't need it on mine. I went to my local shell dealer and bought a roll of weatherstripping for $7. I did 3 layers of weatherstripping on the front of the bed and mine doesn't leak at all.

 

I just ordered the following to see if it will completely seal it.

$29 ESI Super Cap Seal 20 FT (1 1/2" Width x 1/2" Height x 20' Length) EPDM Rubber for Caps 200 lbs or less

$16 ESI Front Rail Seal 6ft EPDM Rubber

You got the right seals,just a little silicone. where the two different seals come together . The seals go on the bottom of the cap so if you remove the cap they won't be stuck on the bed rails

 

Wait these seals go on the bottom of the cap not on top of bed rail?

 

ty

yours is way better quality but cleaned up and a fresh paint this will do what I need it to do. You might know. what is the best way to seal it off from the bed so it does not leak.... also I just got quoted 250 bucks for prep,paint and all materials.....

 

We need more pics!!!

 

Yes that is where the manufactures install them if you get a new one. I have a Snugtop, the seals are on the bottom of the cap. Snugtop molds the cap to compensate for the 3/4" drop at the front, so my seals are the same. Depending on what cap you got you may not need the thicker one in front,20' roll has enough to do all of it, so you are good to go.

 

That's what they sent with my tonneau cover

 

Ya I've been looking at rock auto, still cheaper for me to get it from them than any place here in Alberta. Hopefully this place will do something for me. Toyota Canada has a hold on OEM LCA right now. They are hording them for maybe a campaign the dealers are telling me. Just another lesson for me. Always do all your own work.

 

Today, finally took the time to replace my A/C compressor, Serpentine belt, all Idler Pulley's, Tensioner assembly and Exhaust Cat back on my 06'. After procrastinating for over a year I finally got tired of not having air. At the start I thought it was going to be a bad day. I get it torn down to the point that I can get to the compressor put a wrench on the top front bolt pop loosens no problem, set the wrench on the front lower bolt pull on the wrench and it doesn't budge. OOO sheet, I apply a little pressure on it and I feel it move I'm just praying please don't sheer off. Long story short for both the front and rear lower mounting bolts a lot of WD and about 20min. per bolt tighten/loosen/tighten/loosen until they got to the point that I could get them out. Delphi did not think about the mounting point at all the lower mounting points have two holes on the front side and the back open allowing for water to intrude.
Oh sweet day A/C is so nice to have again, Thank you RockAuto saved me a ton of money on parts. Love the sound of the new muffler it has a tab bit more throat than the stock.

 

Installed K&N CAI this weekend, no improvements in performance whatsoever. Is it possible the damn thing got slower? Idk.

On a better note, got my Nitebruiser LEDs put in, turned out pretty badass

 

Finally got rid of the garbage clicker switch that came with the wiring harness for my light bar
