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

Did bend down your fender protection bar? It's killing my OCD.

4.56 is a great option for the MT.

 

I do not, sorry. I've just seen these T-slot nuts on here and bookmarked them for future reference.

 

Put 2 NEW Bora 1" spacers on front. I got a new 18v DeWalt impact a few months ago. So it is now incredibly easy and fast to rotate tires! In my 44 years of car/truck ownership, I had NEVER cross threaded a lug nut. Bought the impact and in 2 months I cross threaded TWO of 'em. (Trying to do NASCAR 11 pit stops) Only way to get them OFF is to snap the studs. I got what appeared to be the correct studs. Lo and behold they didn't have the exact number of splines....So that screwed up the pressed in stud holes in two old spacers. Then when I tried to take the nuts off again, the studs would spin in the spacer instead of the nut turning off the stud. FACK!

So. Bora group buy on here. I got two NEW spacers. They showed up while ago. Took all of 20 minutes to swap. Most of that was getting tools/jack out and putting them back.

Job done!

 

The bumper and all the associated components were manufactured by pelfreybilt. I just contacted them about sendinging me the table and hardware, along with backup camera relocation as they weren't on the bumper when I bought it secondhand. The install was quite straight forward. Drill holes, used pop rivets to attatch.

 

Awaiting finished product

 

Im pretty excited to get it done, just waiting on my dremel blades that i ordered and going to knock out painting it t the same time as putting this in!

 

Is this a good enough adhesive for the 3 inch metal letters being adhered on to my mesh or should I get different adhesive for that?

 

I used

$7 3M VHB 100x200mm~ (4" X8") Double Sided Foam Adhesive Sheet Tape 5952 Automotive Mounting Industrial Grade Very High Bond 5952 (1 Sheets 100x200mm)

3M VHB double stick take (like, serious OEM automotive grade shit) and then added some 2-part Loctite as well.

I mean, that may be good but I've never seen it before.

 

Cant wait to see them on the truck. They look so sweet!

 

Yeah, just use some

$7 3M VHB 100x200mm~ (4" X8") Double Sided Foam Adhesive Sheet Tape 5952 Automotive Mounting Industrial Grade Very High Bond 5952 (1 Sheets 100x200mm)

3M VHB tape. The automotive kind has this cool little rip away feature so you don't have to trim by hand.

but uh locktite?

 

Usually they are at the bottom of the page in the products section from Amazon.

$23 Te-Co 41406T Black Oxide 1018 Steel Tapped Through T-Slot Nut, 3/8"-16 TPI, 5/8" Height x 7/8" Width x 9/16" Table Slot (Pack of 5)

Those wheels and tires look great on your truck! Do you have a lift and what size tires are those?

 

Managed not to get hit on the way home from work.

Decided I'm likely going to buy a set of Dakar rear springs as part of my lift setup.

 

BHLM With stock headlights. My old aftermarket lights weren't good.

 

I decided to roll with this stuff, probably not the ideal but worst comes to worst i redo the letters with the tape or better adhesive, looking good so far tho!

 

@ChadsPride what tires are you going to run? 9" right?

 

That thing looks clean!

 

Received my tracking number...

 

I used 2 part epoxy

 

Is there a good place to run the CB antenna cable through the firewall or do I just have to drill a hole.
