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

No damage at all. I was able to get it fixed today with another TW member.

 

Bolted on my Pelfreybilt Bolt on Sliders with kick out. I purchased them bare and painted them with Eastwood 2k ceramic chassis black (gloss black). came out great!

 

Changed the original air filter after 20k. Not letting it go that long again. Hopefully a slight increase in mpg... maybe lol

 

Part #?

Looks different than this one:

Well, it was Wednesday night and not today, but my buddy and I put a Body Armor bumper on the front. I really like it. Also replaced the headlights and front grill. I had two choices on mounting the LED - I could drill two new holes in the bumper or fab another mount since the pre-drilled holes did not line up (too narrow) . I would up going to Lowe's and getting some pre-drilled square stock. I had to wallow out a couple of holes, and had to offset the light slightly so the access hole in the bumper was not covered, but I think it turned out decent.

I also added the scooped hood the week before and had the front fenders and hood painted.

I know some folks don't have said they think this bumper is ugly, but I like it.

 

If you like it, that's all that matters. Build your truck to suit your taste and your needs!
P.S. that bumper is beefy AF, I feel sorry for whom ever brake checks you

 

Finally put my quickfist mounts together...

Check the 3D printed t-slot nuts!
For them from a dude on the TTE facebook group for $20/4.

 

I don't care what people say these bumpers are great!

 

I'm willing to bet not many people here would conduct buiness and try to help others when they are off work and have a family to spend time with and take care of. I for 1 wouldn't expect a response after hours but alot of us here appeciate the extra mile you go to help us.

 

@rpkole show us the hole you cut out of yours.. it tremendously helps with winch use

 

Details? Ive been wanting to replace these on my truck for a while now. Im worried about the paint underneath them coming up with the old ones.

 

The fact that you like your bumper is the only thing that matters. Sometimes folks like to voice their dislike of other peoples gear without concern for other peoples feelings. I know I know it's the internet but still no need to be inconsiderate.

 

not the best pic but the only one i have on hand at the moment, it helped so much with getting access to the winch and the free spool lever and now i can see how my cable is spooling on the drum

 

Thats the one!

 

Lol not trying to bash on the bumper but first thing that came to my mind was quagmire

 

Today I bid farewell to the 2007 Tacoma. It may be on its third owner now, but its still in the family as it was sold to my brother. However, it has gone through a lot of changes since my sister owned it.

This was originally supposed to go to my son, but he bought our neighbors 2014 Tacoma. He didn't like the long bed. My brother has been wanting this truck since my sister bought it in 2007.

 

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately, they sold before i got a chance to buy them.

 

Sooooo... You bought a newer one right?

 

Built a bumper.

 

Well yes. I have a 2015 I bought in 2015. This 2007 my sister was trading in for a 2017 back in February. They offered her $5000 for trade in. She called to ask me if that was enough. I wired her $7000 instead. I was going to give it to my son, but my neighbor who is unable to drive anymore asked me to help him sell his 2014 DCSB in MGM with just over 1000 miles on it. We just bought it from him. So the 2007, which my brother wanted but for a long time now gets it. He just got a new job and can afford it now.

Here is my post when I bought the truck.
