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

Woke up to this. I didn't do it but it' a day late April fools joke for us in Nelson BC from mother nature. This is just over night the snow was melted and just about out of town the day before. Off to work!

 

Yesterday was April fools Mother Nature.

 

This weekend I installed a 30” hidden LED light bar and installed a lowered license plate holder made by @ACEkraut super easy to install and looks great. Also no drilling! Excited to get off-road again in a few weeks. Cheers!

 

More gutting of the interior. Rear seat belts gone!

Added some little D-rings on the inside of the cab, used the existing bolts. 4 on each side.

 

Cool thanks!

 

I have multiple fingers that look like that already. This one is just trying to match those one

 

Nice! Any details? Parts list? How to? Write up?

 

Question folks.

2006 Prerunner x cab V6 ... Largest tire/rim setup without a suspension or body lift? We live in North Florida. This truck will never see canyons/rocks/major off road terrain. Maybe a little mud. I work 50 plus hours a week and have 7 dogs at home. (Who has no life? LOL). Point being- I don't have time to play around in the mud. But, I have ALWAYS wanted a TACO since the damned 80's and we impulse bought one a couple of months ago. I've done small things like LED map lights, red LED dome light, cabin filter change, air filter change, spark plug change (ALL of which I learned on here, BTW). I put new bulbs in the headlights. BUT..... we are ready for a BIGGER project now. So, tires and rims are on deck. Paint job afterward.

I know the brands pretty well as far as the tires go. I.e. what not to buy because piece of shit. And I studies up this weekend on sizes and what the numbers on the tires actually mean. (forgive me, my car knowledge has been from NASCAR, NHRA, and my dad-and now You Tube).

I want the largest I can get, without the rub. Not cutting the "fenders" off of it, as I have plans for them.

Thoughts? Ideas?

 

Started the day out cleaning up the garage. Went out and did a deep clean on the all weather mats for the Taco and the DD. Vacuumed and detailed both, foam cannoned the Taco and got the wheels nice and clean. Total time spent was about 5.5 hours, I'm still tired. Found out bugs in my area are attracted to the wash I used (Chem Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss). Got done drying it and I had about 10-15 gnats, mosquitoes, etc hanging out on the paint. Think I'll be swapping that out to minimize the insect colonization.

Threw in a washable K&N cabin air filter. Old one was pretty shot, so good timing

Got this stuff in to help with the cleaning:


Got this for the front window:


Did this when I went out for a burger, when I had to take a break:


Starting tearing out my console to install my new Gentex mirror and realized that the harness sent was the wrong one. Got the mirror from Bob and the correct harness is on its way here. Great customer service from him, couldn't recommend him enough.

 

I would like to be there....
It reminds me my country.

But here no snow, summer almost all year round...

 

Your headlights bulbs are LED too ?
Satisfied with them ?

 

I've had a grillcraft laying around the garage for a while, decided to throw it on.

 

Lookin' good!

What kind of light bar and mounts did you use? I'm looking at this for my next project.

 

On Monday I cut..

 

On Friday, new wheels and tires

 

Is there a reason you cut out your wheel wells more?
