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

Suggest doing it on a flat hard surface, have several socket extensions for reaching hard to reach nuts, saran wrap place it in between socket and nut to hold it in the socket, good light (bulb/flashlight) and a magnet. Oddest thing about removing Intake manifold, to get access to the bottom 2/3 nuts. You have to go through driver side well wheel to remove and install the nuts.

 

Your Hostas look great!!

 

Wha steps are those and also why are your flags upside down...

 

They don’t look like USA flags.

 

They're 3%'er flags

"The upside down U.S. flag is an official signal of distress. It is not meant to be, and is not officially recognized as any type of disrespect when so displayed for the right reasons. To the contrary, here is the relevant part of the US Code of Laws regarding how to fly the flag when in distress:
THE FLAG CODE
Title 36, U.S.C., Chapter 10
As amended by P.L. 344, 94th Congress
Approved July 7, 1976

§ 176. Respect for flag: No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.

(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

Most individuals who have served in the military service of our nation will (or should) recognize this signal.

As a result of the many traitors and enemies we as a free people have, both foreign and domestic, as a result of the many unconstitutional acts, legislation and atrocities passed and/or committed against US citizens and their life, liberty and property, and as a result of policies that have allowed (and continue to allow) enemies of this nation to enter in large numbers through a porous border policy, I believe the life, liberty and property of US Citizens are in dire danger and distress.

However, some people in the United States fly their flags that way simply to be disrespectful and offensive. For these, I hope that there is a special level of Hell."

 

wish i had done this or wrapped them in a clear vinyl

 

They used to be full of them you couldn’t even see the mulch my wife planted all different kinds innother prt of the same bed. A couple of years ago something came through and wiped most of them out they’re just coming back

 

Never knew about 3%er before now. Thanks for the tip. Looked it up, and even as a 3%er flag, it’s still upside down. Doesn’t look to be in distress. Maybe the truck was flipped over on the trail when he put it on there.

 

I couldn't give a crap about what some POS politician said. Displaying the National Ensign up side down is complete BS. There are over 14 ways to show a sign of 'distress' and inverting the Flag will never be one I use.

The Flag of my Nation will always fly proudly, as intended.

I AM THE FLAG
I am the flag of the United States of America.

My name is Old Glory.
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.
I stand watch in America's halls of justice.
I fly majestically over institutions of learning.
I stand guard with power in the world.
Look up and see me.

I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.
I stand for freedom. I am confident.
I am arrogant. I am proud.
When I am flown with my fellow banners,
My head is a little higher,
My colors a little truer.
I bow to no one!
I am recognized all over the world.
I am worshipped - I am saluted.
I am loved - I am revered.
I am respected - I am feared.

I have fought in every battle of every war for more than 200 years.
I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appamatox.
I was there at San Juan Hill, the trenches of France, in the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome and the beaches of Normandy.
Guam, Okinawa, Korea and KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam know me.
I was there. I led my troops.
I was dirty, battleworn and tired,
but my soldiers cheered me and I was proud.

I have been burned, torn and trampled on the streets of countries
I have helped set free. It does not hurt for I am invincible.
I have been soiled upon, burned, torn and trampled in the streets of my country.
And when it's done by those whom I've served in battle - it hurts.
But I shall overcome - for I am strong.
I have slipped the bonds of earth and
stood watch over the uncharted frontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon.
I have born silent witness to all of America's finest hours.
But my finest hours are yet to come.
When I am torn into strips and used as bandages for my wounded comrades on the battle field,
when I am flown at halfmast to honor my soldier,
or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent at the grave of their fallen son or daughter,

I am proud.
I am the flag of the United States of America.

 

New wheels!!!

 

Finished the Clazzio seat cover install and put seat warmers under them.

 

You need some TC tabs!

 

I built it from scratch

 

How are they heating up for U?
I have cloth and mine heat up fairly fast and get very hot on hi, wanted to go Clazzio but don' wanna lose functionality

 

AMEN!!!!!



Thank you for your service!

 

So far (a couple days) they are doing well. They take a minute or two to heat up but they do get very toasty.

 

Definitely! This is til I get the time/motivation for that

 

Picked up a new tundra for my dad and finished me lift, tires, and wheels !!! TRD Pro suspension with HS 1/4 top plate and a 2 inch add a leaf in the rear. Tires are 275's Cooper MAXX ST's

 

I’ve always liked that poem.

As a Marine Corps veteran, I side with you 100% and my flags will fly correctly at full mast unless a half-mast is warranted. However, it is the people’s right, one you and I volunteered our lives to protect, to fly their own flags upside down should they choose to do so. Blatant disrespect of my flag - spitting on, burning other than proper disposal, standing upon, etc - is not tolerated by myself or the law. There is a line between a statement or demonstration, and malicious intent and disrespect. One is (semi)tolerable, the other is illegal and cannot be tolerated.

Now, let’s see what everyone has done to their 2nd gens today.

 

very nice, thx
