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

That came out great! Did you order the film from the dealer or aftermarket?

 

Not today, but recently installed my new weld on sliders.

Stubbs Welding, he has some great ones on his website but I wanted something that didn't stick out too far. My wife isn't very tall.....
After emails back and forth, he made me a custom set. They are very sturdy and the welds are beautiful.

 

any chance you have a pic of the sliders from the side?

 

I concur on the powder-coating sliders business.

 

But....but why? Why not an LED?

 

I like the body kick-up at the end.. Looks good man!

 

Got rack?
18' lvl's on the rack and 50 2x4's in the back.

 

I bought them on Amazon.

 

What do you need an 18' level for?

 

Picked up some drywall this morning and redid a wall... Long story.

 

Pricing out winches. Any suggestions? Looking for something that isn't overly expensive but yet works effectively. Found this guy on Craigslist.

Did you paint it at home?

 

How much did that cost you?

 

That would not do much to a truck, that size is for ATVs & Side by Sides (barely)

 

What would you suggest?

 

Rule of thumb is 1.5x vehicle weight. Taco is +/- 4k so start at a 6k winch and only go bigger if anything. I don't have 1 so no brand advice here. Maybe post up in the armor sub forum?

 

Laminated veneer lumber

 

Hate to burst your bubble, but there's a few things about that. To start it's an atv winch only rated for 3500 lbs. You want to be 1.5 x your gvwr at the minimum. Secondly it's a Badland, they are cheep Chinese junk sold at Hazard Fraught. I recommend doing a lot of research on winches before purchasing one. Search this site and other forums, as well as Warn, Superwinch, Come Up, if you want quality. (some folks have success with Shittybilt) You'll probably want something around 9,500 lbs. IMHO Badland, is a bad choice. A winch isn't something to skimp on.

 

I thought about LEDs, but after reading all 27 pages of this thread, it seemed that regular halogens have a better beam pattern.
