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

Oh man you had to use a heat gun ?!?! yikes!! As for the armor all, I get it. My truck hasn't gotten dirty due to off roading. My wife and I used to snow board a lot before and going up the mountains was the most it got dirty lol. Now my truck just hauls my family and baby stuff hahahahah.

 

Turning a wrench is turning a wrench. I just don't think you get much bang for your buck. You are not starting with much power so I don't think it's worth the effort or time. Even the supercharger doesn't get you very much for 5 or 6k.

 

Not sure. http://www.toyota.com/recall Enter your vin and it will pull up if there's anything.

 

Stock wiring. I didn't use the included relay because I felt it would be a bit overkill to have two relays in series. Since the Hella Supertones draw 11A, I swapped the 10A horn fuse with a 15A one.

The stock connector actually fits on the Hella terminal. However, whereas the stock horn is grounded through its mount, the Hella horn needs a separate ground wire:

 

Finally got this stupid mod done...

 

Im sold on the wipe on tire gel. It will last 1-2 weeks and I drove through a rain storm and they still looked good. Once you hit dirt though it doesn't matter.

Here in VA the pollen is sticking to everything so it's not worth washing or detailing your truck untill these trees stop fornicatin'

 

what bed cap is that?

 

Put in my @CaliRaisedLed ditch lights along with a CH4x4 switch. I love these lights!

 

First flex shot. So cute.

 

Wasn't today but yesterday I took her to the beach

 

I am soooo fricken tired of my Dakar Leaf springs squeaking. I put large tie wraps around them all and still..... Sick and tired of it. What have you guys who experienced this done to make it better?

 

@Rattletrap66 hahaha this was the debate on them vs 63"s

 

Yup! That one guy Mitch was so pissed

 

What are the 63"s? Or, how much more money am I gonna have to spend for some piece and quite!

 

63s are the Chevy 63 swap, see here

If you dont want to go with that, All Pro standards would be better than the dakars, no squeaky so sell your dakars lol

 

well, got one side done for the new shocks and bumps. damn this shit took forever to build.
started with making the frame mounts from some plate and thick wall tubing.


little bending, drilling, welding, cutting and boom.
very similar to a total chaos setup i saw. bolts on to the two sides, and a flat bracket to the top into the bed.
still need to mess with the hose to get the res to sit where i want it.


and the lower mount

 

I found out that it was my front bushings. Then after that was fixed It was the leafs. So I soaked them down with Fluid Film. Worked great! still squeak free after 2 weeks.
I found Fluid Film at Lowes. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Fluid-Film...osion-Preventive-Penetrant-Lubricant/50335157

 

Nice work!

 

They are very helpful mirrors! I like them.
