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

My at the helm bed stiffeners arrive today they're in the priming stage now hopefully have them installed by this weekend excellent quality excellent product
TOMB

 

Nice! Will the frame itself go in and out easily enough?

 

Thanks! And yeah, everything removes pretty easily except on the 2x8 on the left (drivers side) that is near the fridge box, there are three screws that have to be removed in order to take it out. Other than that, everything slides right out. I had to attach the 2x8 at the back of the truck to the left side of the fridge box because it wouldn't have stayed in place otherwise.. But my plan was to make everything for this truck removable, so that on the rare occasion that I actually need to use it, it's available

 

Pulled the Pelfreybilt aluminum bumper away from the truck, did some trimming on the grill support to clear the Baja Designs fogs, put them on, wired 'em, and shimmed the bumper bolts to make it fit better.

Done!

Then crawled underneeth and put the mid skid on. T-case skid would be MUCH easier with 2 sets of hands and 20 less degrees. Called it a day.

 

No color matching paint?

 

Oh they're grounded, the one on the right I ended up rotating it 90* so it didn't face the trans cooler.

 

Almost to 52k on our 2015

 

right at 52k on mine..... put 6k on it this summer alone

 

You guys must stay on the road constantly. If I ever put 15k a year on anything I owned in the past I thought I was driving alot.

 

Readjusted alignment, trimmed fender plastic, hammered pinch weld. Cmc and filler plates in the next few weeks!

 

To me, it sounds like you need to knock the depth gauges down a little... You've sharpened the cutters, but the depth teeth haven't been taken down and aren't allowing the cutters to take enough. Few licks with a flat file and she should be giving you shavings again... But if you take too much, you're going to increase pull in and kick back.

 

18k since 1st of March. I didn't buy it to let it sit in the driveway!

 

Just my daily commute is 21k+ per year, not counting any other driving I do. I bought a new car in September of last year to spare the truck a few miles, and the car will roll past 14k this week or next.

 

Plasti-Dipped my badging. It turned out awesome. I'm really happy with the results.

 

Making sleeping platform and drawer system
Now I need to do some Finnish work

 

Found the stock twin to my truck.

 

Now I'm totally unsure whats wrong with my saw, gonna talk to the shop tomorrow and have him go over everything

 

Take a look at this... http://www.madsens1.com/bnc_depth_gauge.htm

Does a pretty good of explaining it... When I have a saw that isn't making shavings, and I know the cutters are sharp, the rakers are the next thing I look at.

 

And for the visual learners...

And my bad for the...

 

Installed a license plate bracket curtesy of @ACEkraut, thank you! This thing is well designed and gives the front end a better look. Well worth the money and always glad to support members of this community. Still need to wash the truck and clean up the original plate area.
