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

Got my Softopper installed last night (it's seriously not as easy as they make it sound). Bonus pics of Memphis in the snow.

 

I put this baby on mine... AntennaX CB Replacement AM FM Antenna for Toyota Tacoma.

Shorter and sturdier than the OEM and still gets good AM/FM radio reception.

 

Thanks that looks like it may be a winner

 

They do make nice pieces. Get the longest one you can stomach. I went with 15". I used to get a random HD signal. I haven't seen that since I replaced the OEM on though.

 

Nice seat pattern. I have the exact same thing- but Wet Okole allowed me to "special" order grey instead of black, which I like.

 

Whats the difference?

 

Where did you go to get this done? Your truck is still my favorite BTW!!

 

35k maintenance. They certainly take their time here.....

 

Isn't 35K just an oil change and tire rotation?

 

You may have to have some spare factory stuff that gets to see the light of day once per year lol. That all sounds pretty strict!

 

I'm originally from PA, and that's what we often had to do when I was younger. It was not unusual to have to remove off road lights, borrow skinny tires, and remove then re-tint windows every year. My buddy used to have to remove the entire exhaust system on his Mustang and reinstall the factory system, and then switch it back again. I've been in Ohio for almost 22 years now, and they don't care about ANYTHING. As my wife and I start planning where we're going to retire, this is no minor issue. If I have to un-mod my entire truck it will be an expensive pain in the ass. My 1968 Firebird would never make it even with many of the antique car exemptions - too modified. I would like to move home and be near family and friends, but the states with overly restrictive DOT laws typically are that way with everything else, and I'm too used to living relatively unmolested.

 

Should be diff oils, filters, spark plugs, tcase, oil, and tires.

Edit: 35 not 30. I be dummy.

 

Probably. I didn't ask. Came with 8 maintainence visits for free. I'm just here for the shitty coffee and free wifi

 

I think those are at 30K.

 

Ah yep. I'm a dumbass. Sometimes I forget people take their trucks in for oil changes.

 

It's sad how dealerships can mess up a simple oil change.

 

Just finished up installing my new set of rims and tires.

 

new front brake pads and rotors installed! yay!!


Old rotors were pretty rough...

 

A-pillar RAM Mount Mod


I got a few extra arms to play around with but I used the shorter one to start. It's out of the way but still in sight. Very sturdy as well.





I already like it so much, I want one of their mounts for my bike.

 

What's the end cost for all the pieces needed? And do you have the part #s? I'm digging that set up
