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

thanks for the info gents. will be heading to lowes shortly to see what they have if nothing i'll stop at fastenal on the way home tomorrow. that's what i love about this place some body has always run into an issue your working on

 

Took a couple morning shots at the museum

 

yeah, i used to work in a shop right next to a fastenal, i would regularly wander over there and get all sorts of ideas for stuff

 

You can create your own custom ones by buying the appropriate sized aluminum flat bar, cutting it to length and drilling and tapping it.

 

so your telling us all it's museum quality now? it relly does look great

 

another outstanding idea

 

Haha!!!

Had to bring my woman up here and support her during her fiends memorial.

 

Its kinda got a Superduty stance, tall with proportionately sized tires

 

They are usually in the electrical section, they are used to hang electrical boxes and to bolt conduit straps to the unistrut/superstrut

 

I got some of those at lowes, couldn't find them anywhere in the store but since I'm a man, I didn't ask where they were and went to lowes.com on my phone instead. Gave me the aisle and bin # and walked right to them

 

I do the same shit at Home Depot

"Sir is there anything I can help you find?"

"No thanks, all good here!"

*proceeds to spend 5 minutes on phone trying to find what the hell I want*

 

Came back from surfing to find two Amazon Prime packages Got the swivel arm for my cell phone mount, really liking it so far. Also got the old school cup holder insert and can't believe they went away from this, no more inserts stuck to my Yeti. 2 small purchases but they make me that much happier.

 

Those are the best types of purchases! It's the little things.

 

Ordered A Mobtown Tailgate Reinforcement Plate, Sill protectors from G Teck, Wheelers front bump stops and OEM Air and cabin Filters.

 

What are the parts you need for the mount? Also where is the cup holder from?

i just looked up "tacoma cup holder" on Amazon and found the best price

 

Waxed using Mothers Synthetic. 1 coat on vertical surfaces and 2 coats on horizontal surfaces & windshield. Should be good to go for this fall (hunting season) & winter. Perfect day for it...low 60's with slight breeze.

Edited - still felt pretty smooth from my clay bar & wax back in May.

Also install new wiper blades - Toyota Sightline Hybrids. I replace annually...small price to pay for visibility is inclement weather.

 

listened to everyone and made a lowes run and sure enough there they were. came home and got it put on

 

Took another pic. Big mod day lol. Still need to install my OME CB drop kit.

 

Went camping with the troop this weekend. The guy who usually tows the trailer with his F250 was running late so I handled it.

Felt very controlled up to about 60 mph. I won't be taking it on long trips but this one was only 30 miles each way. A strong gust of wind spooked me for a moment and then the trailer sway control kicked in and brought it back in line immediately. Pretty darn impressive.
