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

Gave it a good clean up on Saturday, put my WeatherTech floor mats back in, then took the kids for a Sunday drive up the canyon and got it dirty again! Good weekend.

 

Slider maintenance.

 

I thought perhaps you'd found an entertaining way of protecting the bottom of your doors while keeping up with current events

 

I finally removed the ugly bull bar that came on the truck when I purchased it and installed a 32" light bar behind the rear bumper.

Headlight restoration, before and after. Don't mind the peeling clear coat on the bumper.

 

Alpine loop? I was there Sat-Sunday.

 

LOL

 

Passed my HAM technician test on Saturday.

Then took an impromptu camping trip with a local 4wd group:

 

While preparing for the upcoming winter, I took another step in making everything Silver/Black. I know a lot of us hate the OEM mudflaps and this seemed like a great way to improve them a bit. I like the look and will likely clean them up a bit more again. This took all of 3 minutes.

 

I have done this! Lol my camper shell write up

Removed my secondary air filter (I've got a 4 cylinder so maybe i'll notice a difference)

Finally did the prevent tailgate theft mod:

(I did both sides)

Also, ordered an air pump Uni Filter clamp-on breather. Arriving Wednesday.

 

Removed the buzzer behind the gauge cluster. No more open door chime

Here's a tutorial if anyone is interested. Took me about 45 min being careful not to damage anything.

Officially got Decked this weekend. Took about 3 hours and 2 beers. The Instructions are very thorough. Items of note: 1. I removed the doors from the bedside cubbies. Driver side cubby is partially usable still while passenger side is now rendered useless. 2. I removed the outlet cover completely in order to plug in a flat extension cord. 3. Trimmed 2.5" inches off of the factory short bed mat and turned it around, as to still have decent access to the "ammo cans."

Dropped in an Optima 27F yellow top as my battery died this weekend.

 

I'm debating removing my front flaps. I'm just wondering what that will do to my front fenders over the long run since a LOT of my driving is on gravel roads. Any thoughts?? Will it chew up the paint?

 

As long as your wheels don't stick out past the flares you should be fine. I've had mine off for 40,000 miles and my paint still looks good

 

Well, mine do just a bit...and my KO2s do like to fling a bit of gravel around...
