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

What other source of protein do you have sprayed in your face?

 

Update: night time came. Had to test it...for science...and its bright as hell.

 

If you ever owned a motorcycle you would have felt like you were riding it again. You may have to start closing the windows and using the AC more.

 

Weird.

Today...

I added D rings to the bed rail behind the cab.

Redid my bed light switch

Ordered a 3.5 gallon Rotopax fuel container.

 

I have owned motorcycles. I have been smacked by bugs. It was just an unexpected shotgun blast of bug guts. As far as the windows, sometimes it's just nice to have the windows down when cruising through the mountains.

 

I have sent brackets all over but not to Ohio....yet. The link to the sale thread is below if you want to check it out. I am biased, but I just like the look of the Tacoma so much more from the front with the plate lower.

 

The chrome war continues.

Now just time for a new white rear bumper, an OEM roof rack, and my retrofit kit came in the mail today, just waiting on the depo housings to start my retrofit

 

Kill it. Kill it with fire!

 

Swapped my chrome bumper for MGM painted one this week.

Today installed the ICON coilovers, new brakes, and gusseted spindles on drivers side. Passenger side tomorrow.

 

Pictures or it didn't happen

 

Got too dark today after fighting the rusty bolts and painting calipers. Pictures Tomorrow

 

Always have used the door lock on my '78 Land cruiser then realized there practically the same and work just the same aand there's 4 of them along with 13 cup holders lol

 

It's not complete yet but made a back wall mounting board for the back of the cab. I didn't want to drill on the truck so I used the existing holes in the rib back there. Currently, have my ftm400dr Ham radio mounted to the board, but soon will have additional radios and an inverter mounted as well. I will be completing it by carpeting the board.

 

I was riding with a group of about 75 motorcycles and somehow a June bug missed everyone and I got hit in the head by that June bug doing 65mph, if I didn't have a passenger riding with me it could have knocked me off my motorcycle. It felt like I got shot by a high powered rifle.

I caught a bee in the neck going about 60. It managed to sting me as well. I only knew it was a bee because the stinger and the back portion of it were left stuck in my neck. It was a pretty freaky pain.

 

I don't want to talk about it, but I was able to secure that raise at work.

 

Yesterday after the shop closed, I swapped the tire on my spare wheel to a matching 275/75/17. I can confirm it the spare still fits up in the stock location.

Also, I checked the alignment because the steering wheel was a touch off-center. The left toe was out just a hair so I fixed that. Camber and caster aren't exactly where I want them but it was late in the day and I didn't want to mess with it.

 

Omg... ded

 

I'm too chicken shit to cut up my oem grill. So I'm getting an aftermarket and as a bonus, it's already black and can be painted if needed. What do you say boys..this is better?
Now I just need to find the letters to my liking.
