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

I'm on 17" FJ aluminum wheels with 15mm offset.

 

Got my new CB installed. Sounds pretty good but i'm having trouble getting the antenna tuned.

 

wheel bearing, greasable ubjs, and gussetedspindles last night

 

did you remove the spindle to weld the gussets? looks good!

 

yes sir - 5x8 is $64.70 and the 5x2 is $18

 

was the 5x8 overkill for the rear bumper? Think it could be accomplished with the 5x2?

 

Keep up the fight. Since June 2015 I've gone from 40% to 70%, there have been times where I thought about giving up because it's such a long drawn out process. My patience paid off though. We actually have a pretty good VA HOSP in Asheville and it's pretty close to me, plus I get travel pay every time I have an appointment. It also gives me a reason to go to the Harley Davidson dealership and do some dreaming.

 

I'm glad you have a good one nearby. The one in Memphis is straight garbage. I am amazed at how ignorant these people are every time I am there.

 

I tried with a 5x2. It would be possible, but not ideal Ideally you'd want a seam behind the license plate. That way you can do it in two parts to make it easier on yourself. With a 5x2 you'd have a couple more seams.

 

Picking up Pelfreybilt Bumper and Skids tonight from FedEx. Ordered, and the very next day had a tracking number. Got to say this is extremely great service. Thanks Pelfreybilt. Will post pics tonight.

 

it was (as I had some left over) but the sheets only come in 5x2, 5x3, 5x4, 5x5, 5x6, 5x7, 5x8, etc.....
rear bumper measures 6'-9" long and only 12" wide (so the 5x2 wouldn't cover - long ways). Could probably get by with a 5x7 sheet but I wanted to make sure there was enough Don't understand why they don't sell it like we need it

 

Ah I would like to avoid seams. 5x8 it is, thanks!

 

Where did your seam end up?

 

Keep an eye out for Discount Tire Direct eBay's store... They usually do $100 of $400 purchase a couple times a year. I bought 2 sets of 2 tires and saved $200 of my KO2s... My 285/75r16s were $712 shipped to the house and then I got them mounted and balanced at the dealer for $64 out the door!

 

no seams - all one piece. I bought a 5x5 sheet for grill (over kill) and a 5x8 for rear bumper. Good thing the wife doesn't ever ask "how much is that going to cost" lol

 

They also are great on price matching. I googled the Falken Wildpeaks I have now and looked around for the cheapest internet price. They advertised I think at $145 or so a tire and I found it online with a rebate for $105/each, told Discount Tire what I found and they matched that price for all 5 tires (bought a matching Sport wheel to use as my spare instead of the steelie).

 

i retract my last statement - just went and took a look. The seam is behind the license plate

 

Hooked up with Bailey @Baja Designs and took advantage of the forum discount and free shipping offer he's got going on to get some flush mount reverse lights for the new bumper.

 

So with the 5 foot it was able to make it width wise without a seam?

 

yes sir
