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

Took the badges off the side. A little dicey on a 8 year old black truck. Had to wet sand with 3000 grit at the end and buff the shine back into it.

 

Yeah I took mine off and the paint was etched,so I put oem black emblems back on. I'd rather none though.

 

I hit it with the goo gone about a dozen times. Clay barred the shit out of it and I could still see where the emblem was.

The 3000 grit wet sanding had it done in just a minute. Another minute with some polishing compound and you would never know they were there.

 

I couldn't find them for a while then I seen them on Amazon from a Pennsylvania Toyota dealer. I paid to much $900 with shipping but I have a set now

 

Mine you could feel with your fingernail, definitely visible and not going anywhere. What kills me is that I owned the truck from 2009, I wish I would have just taken them off years ago.

 

I just pulled my emblems on my 2010, used a heat gun to roll the adhesive tape up and FOREVER working the area with Mothers wax/cleaner to get the rest of the adhesive up. Way too many hours later but you can't tell they were ever there

 

I promised I wouldn't...But I'm a weakling.

 

It took me to killer craft beer and poutine made with short ribs, what did yours do for YOU???

 

Ended up just being the junk Treadwright tires. Got KO2's in the same size and there is no rub.

 

Like those wheels bruh, bbs look

 

I had Redline Tuning Elite struts sitting on the table for about 3 weeks and decided tonight was the night. Not too bad of an install. A couple Summits and a few f bombs was all it took. Now I gotta get that engine bay cleaned up.

Threw my Weathertech vent visors on too.

 

Got the 35s on! Super happy that I went with 4.88 gearing. Next weekend it's time for CBI ditch brackets, at the helm bedside reinforcements, and magnaflow exhaust

 

Any rubbing issues? with the 35 tires

 

And so versatile. I love mine, well our dog loves it.

 

Probably not with a DB lift.

 

Oh ya that's a big lift huh. I have a 3 in icon lift. Would like bigger tires then a 285. But afraid of rubbing issues. As I have a little now with sharp off roading turns

 

Very slightly at full lock. CMC gets done on Wednesday

 

Bought a dryer lint brush to use to clean under the hood, the wheel wells and the brake calipers. It is nice and long, with bristles that are sturdy without being too hard. Plus the brush loops around so there are no exposed sharp pieces of metal on the end.



And I also bought a new Tacoma tonight!

 

Got more parts in today. stacks getting bigger.
Camburg arms, Total Chaos spindle gussets, Total Chaos upper gussets, Icon ubolt plate (for hydro bumps) some lube
