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

Thats the only pic i took installeed.3/16 steel it really is a pitty they use such weak materials in what can be a real stress point

 

I also drilled all the holes out to 1/2” and got grade 8 bolts and lock nuts

 

Yeah, thanks for the info!

 

Hot as hell but I showed her some cleaning love today.....

 

If you look at all the marketed plates, at least the ones I’ve seen they only cover the area where the bumper actually mounts. These tie much more of the frame together. Just take a piece of cardboard and place it over the mounting bolts and tap it with a hammer this will mark where to cut the holes. Slide it back over the bolts and mark the edge of the area you wNt to cover. Cut it out and you have a pattern for the plate shape and where to drill. Getting the factory stufs out is tht pita

 

Must be nice 66 and rainy here truck looks great btw

 

Finally mounted the maxtrax and put in my baja designs squadron sports into the bumper. Also dropped the bumper about an inch for more room to flex.

 

Here ya go. The pics aren’t the greatest i had to gonout in the rain to take them sorry

 

Picked up a second hand magnaflow exhaust system, noticed last week my muffler had blown out in the back. Not my first choice but for $120 can't complain too much!

 

Hauled a bunch of beers ice and drinks for my wife’s work picnic.

 

I like picnics. Especially the ones with beer!!!!

 

You are the man! Nice work , I really appreciate the pics.

 

I’ll be curious to hear your review on how it sounds. I’d like to do something but I dont want it to sound like a civic

 

I'll keep you posted the guy I got it from said nice rumble when you get on it, reviews said no fart can civic like sound. Going to install tomm!

 

Aloha Saturday!

Wilmington? Hell at least your close to the water I have to drive hours. But then I have the mtns rt out the back door

 

Most of the time I'd rather have the mountains. I grew up in the mountains. I get this to contend with in the coming week.

 

Good looking truck. Are you planning on getting sliders?
