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

Nothing too exciting, but chrome is no more after a few cans of plastidip.

 

tanks!

the fine dust layer I get from daily driving would drive me crazy on that black

 

It took about 5 minutes. Two plastic pins and two screws, then just pop the clips out. Replace in the reverse order. Really easy and straight forward.

 

How did you paint your wheels? I'm debating on doing mine on my white dcsb.

I got new tires, had some relatively bald dick cepek ATs that were poorly balanced. Got the BFG rugged terrains from Walmart. 265 70 R17. Really like the look of them and they felt so much better driving around town today

 

Michelin Defenders in 265/70-17

 

So what I did was take painters tape and wrapped around each lug nut and valve stem. For each wheel, I took 3 plastic grocery bags and stretched them out behind the spokes but in front of the calipers, rotors, and drums. I did not take the wheels off or worry about over spray on the tires. Honestly overspray on the tires was minimal and almost unnoticeable. I sprayed each wheel with several coats, then rolled my truck forward slightly and put several more coats on. I waited too long before taking the plastic bags from behind the wheels. When I pulled them out, it pulled up a little spot of plastidip on the front wheel. I’ll have to fix that spot before too long. Hope this helps.

Here’s a link I referred to before I did mine. I didn’t use the cards though.

New 6" suspension lift with new Nitto ridge grappler 285/70/17s and mayhem rampage rims

 

Cab rack progress.

Rhino Rack cross bars trimmed to length. Cab rack cross bars trimmed to length. 2 outside bars bolted in place an other 2 mocked up. Test fit up on the roof for mounting ideas.





Happy with the length, but not 100% sold on the width of the rack. the load bards are 52". The width of the bars lets me mount the rack so the cross bars are the same height as Rhino Rack bars. I may narrow them, but then the rack will have to sit on top of the Rhino Rack load bars.

I need to stare at it in the day light

I should have it done this weekend.

 

solved the bent tailgate syndrome when loading bikes.

 

another view.

 

Nice regular cab!! Doesnt get much better than that

 

Got my dual rotopax mount installed on my hitchgate and added my @ChadsPride sticker on the truck! Now if i could just get a tw sticker.. i guess ill just keep waiting lol..

 

finally got around to putting on these bed bars, bought used from @cuda2k

I think it looks sweet. can't wait to mount my RTT on it in March.

 

great looking bike. I've always wanted one of these.

 

Did the grill, and headlights, literally took a half hour. I think it looks great, gives the truck a new look. Now I am contemplating taking off the bug guard..

 

Tire rotation and new EBC pads and rotors.

 

Quick wash and detail. Also installed dash cam. The way ppl drive around here and the amount of insurance scams it’s $100 and an hour well spent.

 

What model did you install?

 

Actually installed it couple days ago. So far pretty happy with it. The only thing I need is CPL filter to minimize the glare.

 

Someones following me, how do I get this creep off my six?
