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

I ran into the same thing for my Rotopax. The damn locking mount cost just as much as the Rotopax container.

 

Got my Relentless Fabrication rack together.

 

Blah blah blah, something, something, faux grille. TODO (another day): color match surround, maybe.

 

Where is everybody getting these faux grills from?

 

Group buy. Mines showing up soon

Where does one acquire the channel you installed on the roof of the shell?

 

Just google Yakima or Thule tracks

 

Not the wildest mod. But the lock/unlock beep is loud, and so common as many toyotas are where I live. I put a foam earplug in the beeper hole. Mutes it to barely audible. But I now can distinguish mine. If I want it gone I'll just use the beep delete I found on reddit.

 

Getting my solid mole panel soon. I am wondering if anyone knows of a good sound deadening material to use since I am throwing away my rear seats. They get in the way for gear.

 

Buy some gum in one of those "Go Containers". Stick that in one of the cupholders, or the old small holder by the automatic shift. When it get too full, go to the bank or Dairy Queen.

Going to make some brackets to mount the cooler and chest into the bed eventually. For now straps work. I plan on getting new wheels and tires when the current tires are ready to be replaced. Retiring from the Navy next Thursday and going on a 4000-5000 miles road trip all over the western US, all the way north and south, eventually settling into Texas. This is just the outside, inside I have ballistic canvas seat covers with molle backings, a RAM mount for my phone on the driver side pillar and upgraded knobs on the AC controls.

 

All you need for the box is some t-nuts and bolts. Bada bing bada boom!

 

Yea I didn't have any issues even going off road with mine before either, but it's the wheels I swapped the stock with and the spacers I used to clear the calipers.

Like @Kuntrykid said, you won't need any trimming for 265/75's on stock wheels/offset But here's some pics if you were still curious haha. Tried to keep the lines looking stock. These are to fit 16x8 -23 with 265/75. Still rubbing on something at full lock going down driveways but I'll be fixing it once I find out what it is.

Aaand, I got the other 2 wheels on after work now too. Really diggin' the new stance!

 

Amazing how much it changes the look of your truck, I dig it

It's one of those things you won't really appreciate having until you actually need it. I had to use my hi-lift in sand at the beach to swap out a tire once and the damn thing just kept sinking in. I crushed a gallon jug and put it under the foot, that helped but it eventually sank again. I walked the beach a bit and found a plastic bin that had washed up. That did the trick. I immediately went and bought a platform base.

 

Started on my DIY bed slide. Pretty sure I have the design about 90% figured out.

How big of a pain in the dick was this? I need to do this to mine soon

 

You need an extra pair of hands to assemble and tighten all the bolts & nuts.

 

I bought some of this stuff because it's got great ratings/reviews. https://amzn.to/2wQVttm Still need to install it though.

 

What rims do you have on there? looking good!
