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

Well after some epic struggles to clean, prime, and paint the bumper by myself I enlisted some help for the install and thank god for that!

 

Fresh from powder coat. Need to clean the (tacoma) gunk off my grille but it’s not coming off even with googone.

 

Installed my @ragofabrication CB antenna bracket. Solid chunk of metal right there, and very fine finished too. Don't have the rest of the CB parts yet to test it out though. Had to tap the bend on my tailgate corner a bit with a hammer because it rubbed slightly (more info here in my thread). I am pretty pleased though with it, we will see how it holds up over time once I do get my CB equipment.

 

Thanks for the pics.
When so is mine, I consider she's pretty clean...!

 

Not today but last night, I plasti dipped these chrome wheel covers to help hide the ugly and corroded stock rims/snow tires which look pretty ugly from 8 upstate New York winters!

 

With a spray ?

 

Yes it's this product, sticks on plastic and can be easily removed! Many different colours too

 

Looks like Tucker Lake.

 

Had full intentions of getting my truck washed and waxed today. I got it washed and all I could get done after that was get the hood waxed. Damn I wish I could do what I used to do.

 

Thanks a lot

 

How many sprays do I need for the 4 wheels ?

 

I used 2 full cans and did four and a little touch up coat's. You can redo as needed if you skuff up a wheel.

 

painted the pinch welds and finally installed the small triangle billet inserts that have been sitting on my table for 2 months lol

 

I uninstalled my radar detector, gave my Weathertech floor liners and bed liner to a friend, emptied and cleaned the truck, and have it ready to bring to my local BMW dealer, which has agreed to pay me $3000 over my residual and get me out of the lease early and into a CPO 2016 BMW X5. The Taco just wasn’t the truck for me and I cannot wait for it to be gone, The seats we’re miserably uncomfortable, and the Entune Audio/navigations system was junk. I couldn’t count on making a call via Bluetooth without the system crashing and rebooting. I’ll be happy to see this truck gone forever.

 

must've been a 3rd gen huh?

 

2nd Gen., 2014 TRD Pro BAJA Edition. Nice truck if your so inclined, but I wanted something more refined. I’ve driven it for four years, and it was handy, It wasnt the most comfortable vehicle to drive, and things like leather heated seats, heated mirrors, dual zone heating and cooling, could have made the truck more enjoyable. I thought seriously about an F150 platimum, but ended up with a BMW X5.
