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

Unfortunately no. I know a light blue is possible but that's the best I could do. I just kept the orange.

 

Nice work. Gotta say, this is the perfect project for someone looking to get their feet wet in skid plate fab. I'll be doing this and the fuel tank once it warms up outside. Is this 1/8"? And did you add any angle iron on top for rigidity? Thanks for the inspiration.

It is

it is 1/8 ".
I drilled four angles iron "L ", and than welded them on the frame

Tomorrow, if time, i'll try some more pics.

About the fuel tank, it is very tough/resistant, no issue with that with my first tacoma and more than 7 years off-roading.
the only trouble is the little sheet metal (lateral), which folds easily and rubs on transmission.
Furthermore, this sheet metal accumulates grass, mud ,etc....

 

Thanks! Definitely interested in the pics if you find some time. I can visualize what you're saying though.

I'm super paranoid about my tank (zero protection at the moment) as I punctured one before on my Mazda pickup. Ended up zip tying a sacrificial piece of 1/8" aluminum to it after that. Ghetto, I know.

 

No pics but I got a TW sticker in the mail courtesy of @Sasquatchtaco

 

Got a box in the mail today...

 

You have the coolest 5 lug in FL! and you are the only one that drives it like a 4WD!!

 

Redoing my heads. Found a cheap shitty set to rebuild. Using my current lenses. Anyone who is trying to do a set of retrofits, easy off oven gleaner gets the job done as far as getting the chrome off. Little spots here and there but definitely helps. The guy at Lowe’s said not to worry about priming it but I think I probably will. No reason not to

 

Pew Pew!

 

Came home to find my Bilstein 5100’s came in. Got rid of the ProComp look alikes so now I have 5100 all around. Also got my Bass Pro Shop camp kitchen. My wife says I have a sickness. I’m tending to believe her.

 

Stole someone's idea and redid my access cab storage area

 

Details or can you just point to the thread? I use my seats often enough to keep them but looking for ideas to make it better for the dog...

The original poster is what inspired me.

Also it still works with the jump seats in, I just never use them so I pulled mine out. And my dog already lives it back there.. .

 

Where did you end up ordering these from, dealer or another site?

 

Originally ordered a set from DaytonaToyota.com but I DO NOT recommend them at all. I ordered these off of ebay for only $225 shipped.
...and yes, they're OEM.

 

Less than exciting day, only thing I did with my Tacoma was run out to pick up lunch for sick wife and daughter

 

Thanks for the quick turn around - great customer service here

 

Finished up these today.

Pressed out and destroyed the old bushings, installed a full set of poly bushings with grease. I picked up the leaves from a local on here, I think they only had 18k miles on them plus they came with a icon 3 leaf AAL installed. I’m going to test my theory on these and see
1. How good the ride is after my “upgrade”
2. How much height I gained over stock and stock with 3 leaf AAL compared to what these are.
If they don’t provide what I need, I’ll sell them and purchase u402’s or just do spring under instead. Hopefully they provide the lift I need in the rear.

 

Thanks man I’ve been debating getting a set, let me know how the install goes for you.
