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

Sometimes it's the little things. If you can't tell, I like to spray paint. Didn't say I was good at it though haha. Painted the battery holder and drums.

 

Had them for a year now. No leaks. No condensation. Would recommend 10/10
Got them off Amazon from the Xtune seller

 

You need to do a build thread & Parts list for this. I see a large number of people wanting something like this - campers, hunters, overlanders, glampers, moms & dads...

 

Are the rims paint or plastidip?

 

Knocked out my exhaust re route last night. Never done exhaust work so this was a first. I'm definitely buying a sawzall now though. No fun cutting exhaust pipe with an angle grinder.

 

Relentless fab tailgate support, sick! Rattle canned it, DGAF, I like it. Very impatient and don’t feel like waiting to powder coat. 1 can of rustoleum self etching primer and 2 cans of rustoleum flat black.

 

Looks good. Still gotta do that to mine. Just annoys me that its one of the lowest points on the truck

 

Thanks. Yeah, the Toyota engineers should have to be offroad enthusiasts if they designed the offroad model. Otherwise that cross over would have been located differently from the beginning.

Guess I need to go work for Toyota...

 

AMAZON It was around $20 i think, maybe less.

 

I hear a rattle noise under the hood whenever I'm stopping and just leave my truck in D, but when I put it in Neutral the noise is gone. I tried removing the plastic cover and adding some duct tape but nothing changes.
It only happens when stopping at a light or slow traffic.
Anyone with a solution or similar situation?

 

X2 on the mirror glaze polish then wax over it. I try to hit mine about once a year. Its really not too bad of a job by hand. Mirror Glaze makes a (i think#9) polish that is for hand application.

 

I was expecting an ex wife reference but MIL is good too. Well Played sir!

 

Man! You lucky no wires got chewed up.

 

It's not what I have done today, but what I plan on doing in 6 months...putting some money away until my birthday. I'm planning on budgeting $1200 to spend on either a set of rims or a lift kit. Not sure which is more important to get first, but honestly I'd probably rather have performance over looks. I'm mostly highway, with the occasional trail every month or two. What would you do with $1200?

 

Tires should be your first upgrade. Rims or not.

 

So, no help here.

 

Is it coming from the front as in belt or any of the pullies? What kind of "noise" Is it sounding like?

 

Id call headstrong off road and order the OME kit with the UCA's and leafs. $1200 would just about cover it.

 

RAM Mount items got delivered today. Gonna have digital maps after tonight! Yes, I am keeping the paper maps in the truck.

Last of the lift kit hardware should arrive tomorrow and Monday as well!

AND...a grand expedition has gotten itself in my head. The planning for next summer starts now!

 

The taco got a new windshield today! old one got a crack in it and needed replaced. Its a win win because my old windshield had nicks and scratches all over it due to years of weathering....shes getting a strip put back on Friday 5%
