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

I scored a sweet deal on some used Fuel Revolver wheels. $400 for a set of 5, immaculate condition. Adding a set of Nitto Grapplers (265/70r17) next week. Selling/sold the current wheels/tires that came with the truck.

 

2011 DC TRD

 

X2 agreed

 

Installed my wet okoles today! This is the third set ive installed and they took about the same amount of time as the other two sets. Total pita to install but the results are totally worth it!

 

WOW! Those are awesome.

 

Thanks brother! Im stoked with how they turned out!

 

Long post warning!
Here's where I started and where I am and what I did today.
So some of you know I've had a hard time making progress since getting my truck at the end of February. The first week of March I had a small rupture in my colon. I was hospitalized but they didn't want to do surgery until they could make sure I needed it. They planned to do a colonoscopy once it healed. They scheduled it for the first week of May. Last week of April, it ruptured worse. Same story, no surgery yet, except this time the CT scan showed my colon and small intestine had fused together due to the inflammation of the colon. They said it was obvious I needed surgery and set it up for mid June.
First week of June, had to go back for a different pain and throwing up. Had severe gall stones and had to have gall bladder surgery. They rescheduled colon surgery for August. Recovered, started exercising several times a week to get strength back for the surgery.
Had surgery on the 10th and came home on the 12th. By the next day I was off pain meds even though everything felt "strange". One week after that (last Monday) I was feeling pretty normal, and I wrapped my tailgate, Tuesday I repainted the grille and buffed the headlights. Tuesday night I had a huge knot come up under my largest of now ten incisions. Finally Friday they cut it open and drained and packed it. So today with very little strength and some pain out of boredom I wrapped the console because it had stains that wouldn't come off. I already had the tent and awning and most of what I've done has been low budget due to being off work so much. Sucks having too much free time and no money.
Hope this wasn't tooooo long...
I spared to the dead Jon Snow stomach pic...

 

Seats look great Robert! Great job!

 

Changed my transfer case oil today. I called a local dealership (as seen in the video) and they wanted $134 to do this simple maintenance ... without even offering a reach-around. @inesshell 's last pic was so epic I just had to use it again for an outro.

3 sets for 3 different trucks??

 

That thing gets better and better.

 

Thanks man!

Two sets in my trucks and then i installed my dads as well for him in his dcsb

Thank you sir! Been doing a few things to it lately to get it ready for some travel at the end of the year!

 

Sweet. Seat cover are on my list. Haven't narrowed it down to which brand/style I'm going with just yet.

 

They look better than my Costco covers lol

Yeah there are a lot of good options out there. I was considering clazzios or some katskins but i decided to go with the wet okoles since i already knew the quality and how good they fit the seats. I also use the truck when i go to the river and kayaking sometimes so the waterproof covers were a bit more appealing

 

I bet the costco covers were much nicer to your wallet though lol!

 

Lol 16 bucks

 

What others have you considered?

 

I'm actually really eyeing the coverking tactical ones like these: http://www.autoanything.com/seat-covers/61A7039A0A0.aspx

 

You Sir are a fucking survivor. I don't say that lightly or with any sarcasm or dishonor. While most people would curl up and deal with the hurt; you go out and work on the truck.
That's amazing and quite frankly humbling. I would say "keep up the good work", but I know nothing will stop you. Heal up, get strong, and get back at it
