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

THAT IS SWEET

 

Got the air brush out last night and decided to repaint my front fancy parts. Took me forever to actually get this done because I was having a hard time figuring out exactly how to get the white and red in the TRD logo to pop. All the model paint I could find was very dull and had no gloss. It looked like crap when you have something put on with a brush inside of air brushing, you see every brush stroke looks horrible. The other day I was at my buddies shop and he has a vinyl sticker making machine, gloss white and gloss red vinyl sticker. He gave me some scraps I can cut to perfect size.

Like a tard last year I did not clear coat seal them, so they did not last even a year before needing to be redone. Clear coat a gogo this year after I do a little sanding and one more coat tonight of orange.

 

Think of all the time you'll save.

 

I know right? I kinda like it now. The door was just for looks, it didn't do anything else lol

 

so I THINK YOUR PROBLEM IS YOU HAVE OVER INFLATED YOUR REAR TIRES

 

Finally got my new shoes and wheels installed with 1.25" spacers. Front mini flap removed. UCA's should be here this week!

 

Your pit stop time should improve drastically ...

 

My 2013 had a lot of surface rust on the frame from the winters up here. Nothing bad, just ugly looking; my Dakar's were rust brown and the exhaust looked pretty poor as well. I bought some Krylon rust paint and high-heat exhaust paint in rattle cans. Spent the better part of two days sanding and prepping the rear half of the frame, axle, suspension, and exhaust, then sprayed. 100% improvement IMO! Now it's time to move on to the front.

 

What, 1200psi is too much?

 

Anywhere between 1050-1150 should be just fine ​

 

All right, I'll try airing down a bit.

 

Not if it's a load ZZ

 

Well I did this this morning. Started tearing stuff off without knowing what I'm going to do.

Thinking on 4 linking the rear and running ORIs but I didn't know about performance with weight. Running bumpers, sliders, roof rack, kayaks, camping, and recovery gear..etc. anyone with experience running weight with these?

 

Dynomax muffler waiting at the door for me when I get home

 

That should be good for 5HP and 2MPG.

 

Haha... Look familiar?
Cut the original rear bar at the top and weld in a longer one. If you can't take it to a shop shouldn't be more than $20.

 

Hey, I only have one 2 wires out of place lol...

Yeah i wanted to reuse the original but the battery is narrower and taller so the J books need to be longer and the tie down needs to snug up to the battery better... and i needed something to get me through until I got around to making it work... I will probably either cut a section out to make it the right size or use the crappy plastic one until I get around to ordering a cage from Pelfreybilt

 

Yeah... It scares me every time I pop the hood. I have a 250 amp bus bar coming in soon for all the positive connectors.

 

OOOOOooooooooo... Ohio Amateur Radio plate, eh? Did you put in any radios or antennas?
