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

This is a great example of black magic.

 

Used it to help a fellow off roader

 

That's the shutterstock brand. They own the rights to the image so they have their watermark on it.

 

Haha thanks. I wanted to get a unit from Decked, but they still don't make them for the Tacoma, so had to whip one up myself for the time being.

 

Looks freaking awesome. When I decide to do a platform I may have to do something like this. I'm a about being practical.

 

Sitting in garage : 1/4 tophat spacers to regain the 1/2 I lost from the 887s settling , set of brand new wheel hubs from @BamaToy1997 , slotted drilled rotors and carbon fiber / ceramic pads from powerstop , and just bought a set of 255/85/16 km2s

 

Thanks, man, I appreciate that. It's pretty simple. I just made sure the frame underneath was strong enough to stand on. I used 2x2 hardwood and topped it with mid-grade 1/2" plywood. Marine grade ply or polyethylene would be better, but I figure once the current deck has had enough, I'll just replace it with something better. The front portion is 4' and the rear is 26" or so? the covers for the corners just sit in there. I still need to install a couple barrel locks just to make it a little more secure.

 

Got my new SOS bumper installed today

 

Oh , and washed and detailed the FO Runnah

 

Got my RTT done on Thursday and

"What did my Tacoma do to me Today"

slammed the passenger door on my thumb

 

Ouch!

 

Oil, oil filter, air filter, greased u-joints, 5 tire rotation.

 

Installed a blackvue dash cam battery. Basically this is a battery that charges while your truck is running and allows power to pass through to your camera. Once you shut off your truck the battery powers your camera for about 12 hours (if fully charged), and doesn't allow the camera to kill your car battery.

 

I need one of those glove box organizers!!

 

Cut my knuckle on my left pinkie almost off on the exhaust heat shield while lubing the drive shaft with a grease gun. Grease gun fitting was being stubborn and would not free itself from the drive shaft grease fitting and when it finally did I ended up punching the heat shield. I learned to where gloves when working near the heat shield from now on.

P.S. I learned I forgot to lube my SPC A arm ball joints when I installed them 800 miles ago. So I'm sure I have reduced the life span of those.

P.S.P.S. The left plastic bed rail cap blew off on the highway the other day. It was loose from when I put my Satellite radio antenna under it. Does anyone know of a SOLIDWORKS file (or similar) of those bed rail caps? I'd like to cut some new ones out on the plasma cutter and don't want to have to recreate it.

 

rci bedracks today...tepui rtt tomorrow...

 

Absolutely love mine. Makes everything look so nice.
