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

that's exactly when mine gets install. heading to a buddies place and spending the whole day installing it. should book my alignment for sat

 

I say black everything out. I'm not a debadger.. just me tho!!!

 

this bolts right in huh?

 

Save the 100 bones and paint em

 

Debadged is the way to roll....

not a fan of the black wheel so eh, no comment on your wheels

 

I want goodies!!

 

Put together some Ramps, I like to change my own oil, Grease, and a few other things, I am in my 70's and could well take these chores to the stealership, but I enjoy getting my hands a little dirty, I needed new ramps & about all I could find were those cheap plastic or cheap tin ones, Yes there are some real nice hard rubber/plastic ones on the market but I didn't want to spend that kind of money, these I built with scrap wood I had, yes they are big, ugly, heavy, however I have no intention of taking them anyplace, when I need them I will just slide them out and push them back when I am done, storage is not an issue, again just scrap lumber, I used them today & they worked out well.





I also put together a small stand to hold the oil pan so it doesn't splash so much

 

It does, I saw it somewhere on here, I inquired about my price at work (I work at a Toyota Dealer) and was like...ok. BUT, then we had to get one for a customer and it came in damaged (it's so slight that it's ridiculous and I'll damage it way more than that when I go wheeling, just look at my factory one lol), so Toyota wrote that one off and sent another one. They knew that I had inquired about it and the rest is history lol. The only issue I had was the middle bolts, the one on the driver's side, it wasn't long enough (they supply all bolts), so I just went to Lowe's and got one that was 1/2 inch longer and done.

 

Hit a palindrome on the odometer this morning:


(ignore the dust)

...and picked up a bale of 70/30 premium:

 

Nice job! I really need to make ramps like this for a car of mine to change oil.
Have you thought of the Fumoto valve? May help with the splashing and ease of changing oil. But you got a good setup anyways.

 

So I finally got a full sized spare. I should have ordered (5) brushed bronze SR8s, but I didn’t! So I contacted Scs to see if they were gonna get anymore=not likely, but we do have the test wheel?? I was all over it, the only exception was the lip was bronze like the face and the backside wasn’t painted. Oh well.....I'll take it!

 

Then I drilled two holes for the nfab bed mount. Used the existing two D-rings on the bed support brackets. Voilá, full size spare!!!!

 

HF Jacks and 6-Ton Jack stands aren't bad, one of the better purchases there

 

This was out on NF-6554, which will take you out to the Evergreen Mountain Lookout. There are quite a few forest roads off of Beckler Rd, which is just off of Hwy 2 in Snohomish.

 

Could a bracket lift boy make it? I'm in Lynnwood man!

 

Had the truck for 9 months now, only put 3,500 miles on it myself (90% of them camping miles)

Finally joined the basic decal club

 

I thought it does. Missed one on CL last week.

 

Got my shift kit installed today. Now for more go fast upgrades

 

Right... I'm waiting for the day lol did that w/ front bumper only cuz lady side swiped me so bought stell bumper w/ the check

 

Stop teasing your taco!
