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

Finally got the trailer in garage. It fits!!!

 

Removed my nerf bars in preparation for rock sliders. Looks clean without them and the truck appears to be higher, but I'm hyped to get some actual protection.

Before:


After:



Nerf bars are now for-sale locally (greater Seattle area). Asking $100 OBO for TW members

 

Finished the debadging.

 

4lb hammer, or maybe rig up a jack between them to spread it back out. Maybe weld some gussets on when done.

 

That’s what I was thinking, just checking. I guess to save money, they don’t weld every seam fully around so I’ll probably bend back, grind down the corners, re weld any broken welds and gusset the corners that don’t touch the truck frame, then respray with some rustoleum frame coat. Hopefully she lines up afterward and bolts into place.

 

Just put that thing in a vice (yes I know they are heavy).

I think they might be bent slightly to make sure it fits snug onto the frame.

 

I'm always impressed with the height of the truck when I take the sliders off to repaint them.

 

Bottle jack and chunk of steel or sturdy woob?

 

I got woob, will do

 

I’ve thought about that as well but the email that I received back from the draw Tite rep was that I should speak with there techs because that doesn’t sound right to him so... I don’t know at this point lol I’ll call tomorrow.
The issue is, I can’t call a warranty claim if it is broken because I’m not the original buyer and don’t have the reciept which sucks.

 

Got my winch installed! Half bumper courtesy of US OFFROAD

 

Wash, Wax, and armor all'd up with some elbow grease. Am I right!

 

Ive been putting this off for a while. A/C has been running non stop. No more drip on frame.

 

Any more pics of the location? Going to knock this out this weekend.

 

So behind on TW but FUCK YEAH.

I have been thinking about a trip like this for awhile.

 

been trying to get in touch with matt to see if he'd put together a cables only kit but no response. you been in touch with him recently?

 

What is this black magic?! Asking as a tall guy who's mirror blocks my windshield.
Does it basically just move the clip over to the side and up then use double sided 3M to hold it?

I never considered moving the mirror.....

 

Do you have a link. I need a pair!

 

is that kydex?

 

no Sir,,
