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

TC arms and ext. travel Kings going on now. Half way done in about an hour and a half.

 

Looking good. Good thing you painted that foam. Expanding foam is highly susceptible to UV and discolors/breakdown fast if you don't paint it.

 

Just picked her up, 2012 AC 4x4 Manual 2.7

First mod before I left dealer parking lot was throwing on my black caps for the steelies

 

You have to pat your own back once in awhile ......
You need one of these ...

 

Was that a spray on? How did you do that with out over spray if it was a spray on? I also live in the midwest and have some rust issues but not enough for recall. On my bucket list to do.

 

That looks great! The black top on white truck contrast looks really nice.

New truck is coming together very nicely.

That makes 2 of us.

Are you still "taking care" of the witnesses for your trial No witness is willing to come forward freeing the "like" wrath of The @ChadsPride !

Tires look great! Those Ridge Crapplers are getting great reviews.

Just outta curiosity.....what is up with the old shoe in the picture? What happened to the other?

Those are TOYO R/T'S 285's
the half-cab belongs to me- tires for my feet -just don't wear them that often. I wear flip flops unless I am at work. Still have the other shoe.

You know, you could have just taken another picture?!

 

Ain't nobody got time for that

Hey man I'm in the NW Suburbs of Chicago here near O'hare. It's Eastwood Rust Encapsulator, the brush on version. I bought a quart for like $25. A quart is more than enough, didn't even use half of it. Takes about an hour to do altogether. Order some now and get it done before winter. Big peace of mind with the salt.

 

Also.... consider this product: http://masterseriesct.com/

 

Did a thing...
Going to say there's a slight learning curve but going to call it a success that is still in the testing phase....
But I did remove it in 3 minutes by myself
I don't use the stock mounting hardware which makes it quick and simple.
Now praying it doesn't fail
Seems pretty secure though

 

Fresh out of 4wheelparts ... 235/85r16 (31.7") with a 4.10 regear and an Eaton Detroit TruTrac LSD on the 2010 5-lug.. no spacers, no rubbing.

After starting this project as a stock truck in Winter 2014 .. i'm now fully done on this truck's mechanicals and external changes. Well and truly happy with the end results.

 

The era of @ChadsPride likes is over, now when you find one its like finding a rare frozen dinosaur is perfect condition!

 

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! ​

 

+10 points for zombie counter

 

Found out my diy battery hold down is still accumulating corrosion. Previously it was just clear anodized aluminum flat over the polycarb piece and was building up way more! So I painted with enamel and it's still not cutting it apparently. I guess time to go with something synthetic over the polycarbonate piece? Aluminum piece is really just there as a finisher and to provide some extra rigidity.

 

Haha I got the same letter. I planned on removing it too, but didn't feel like dealing with the aftermath of all the sticky shit. So I'm going to see if I can get the dealer to do it for me
