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

Where did you get that TRD license plate?

A quick google search found it for me haha!

 

Ordered a gashole the other day so while it ships, I had a new fuel door painted at the body shop, picked up a new gas cap, spring, and screw since the tether and binge is broken on my current one


Found a few pics of my truck from January so I’ll just post 1, pre UCAs

 

I got it off Amazon.

 

Does anyone else turn the radio off and just drive? It’s so peaceful to listen to my truck drive down the highway at night!

 

I do it too sometimes!

 

+1

The hum of the tires, the squeak of the leafs, the chirp of the uniballs, can all be pretty relaxing sometime.

 

Lots of things done on my extra long weekend (I got "sick" for a couple days after Memorial day if you know what I mean)



First off, I finally got my truck properly broke in



Second, my friend's brother and I borrowed his boat to take it out for a spin





Installed my ATH bed stiffeners from @At The Helm, they went in great, came with all the hardware and instructions on how to put them in. It's amazing seeing how much the bed actually expands by putting these in. The only problem I have is that the "bed" (the black composite/fiberglass bullshit that is going around the corner of the tailgate) part going around the left side of the tailgate rubs on the bolts for the mount that the tailgate latches to. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? I'm thinking its from the cargo strap I had on it, I cranked that bitch down good to bring the sides in and it was on there for a while so I'm thinking that the whole piece of metal it is mounted to bent in. I'm thinking that maybe I can get my rubber mallet out and try beating it in some to see if that helps but I'm open to any other remedies. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the bed stiffeners. Like I said, it's amazing seeing how much the bed expands and these brought it right back to where it needed to be



100k oil change and sample for Blackstone labs (first sample I've taken from the engine oil)



Installed a new "state of the art" battery tie-down system, a.k.a. a camouflage bungie cord from Harbor Frieght because the original one was more corrosion than metal (not exaggerating at all I wish I was lol) and it was causing the spot in front of the battery tray to rust so I'm gonna have to fix that. Gave the battery a few good shakes and I have faith that my high tech solution will be capable of handling daily driving

Also broke a bolt but that's no big deal at the moment

That's all for now hopefully a tonneau cover coming in the next week or two

 

Looks like one of you feel better @ least!

 

lol it's ok I'll "recover" tomorrow so I can slave away all weekend at work

 

solid fold.. really like it. easy to take off too if I need the extra room

 

Would a regular hammer work? I don’t own a ball peen

 

So what has been the outcome then? Is it worth the effort? Does it cause any issues?

 

I know in New England blue lights are a No No .

 

I found the gas door decal on http://www.247skins.com

 

Do you guys think it would better without the bug deflector on there?

 

I do that as well but will my back seat out the road noise is terrible n sounds like a vacuum cleaner I need some foam in that hole in the back of the cab.

 

Topped of the tank this mornin

​

How much do these tanks hold anyways? 2015 SR5 PreRunner

 

Damn lol were you all the way on E?

 

Gas light was on for 2 days

Waiting on payday gets sketchy sometimes lol. Luckily my office is only a few miles from home.
