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

Which back to the future?

 

Finally trimmed and reinstalled the fender well liners. Not really a good way to secure them in the front when running an aftermarket plate bumper. Drilled a couple holes and used wire ties.

 

Finally put my damn fridge cover on, right as the weather is cooling down.

 

3 stage paint restoration on a ‘06 Super white. (Restorative compound, Polish, wax, 10amp craftsmen buffer) Prior to this I had used duplicolor touch up paint to correct a few rusty spots on the hood from rocks. I don’t have a before shot of the damage but it looked like chicken pox. Very happy with the results but I’m sure a pro detailer would dissect my work. I’ve attached a view from the side in which the passenger door has been treated with compound and the driver door is still hazy and oxidized as well as a roof shot showing the same.

 

Are you going to just leave that in the truck? All the time

 

The fridge? Yeah, it lives in the truck. I want to add a lock and cable to lock it to the slide.

 

Just wondering. My box is lockable but i bring it inside when not in use. Idk why tbh just what we do

 

Its steel & weighs I'm guessing 25lbs ish. Maybe @Mobtown Offroad can chime in? If you dont put excessive weight on it then you should be fine. People who have street bikes usually have this problem where it causes a v shape to the tailgate. I got mine cuz I dint like what was under the plastic if the plastic were to break

 

It’s steel and weighs 15 lbs and the stock skin weighs 6 lbs. You’re only adding 9 lbs to the tailgate. @boogie3478 goes over this in his video.

 

Welcome...

 

I never weighed mine I just guessing in ball bark of. @Rick_Taco I absolutely love mine! Going on 2.5yrs now!

 

First day in a couple of weeks we haven't had rain so took advantage of it to change the oil, clean the truck, touch up a couple of rock chips on the hood, and dipped the emblem in front. Really pleased with the results!

 

Getting ready for a road trip, roof basket is next. I'm going to measure the sound level of stock roof rack in stow position, vs opened up and then with the basket mounted. Interested to see the how loud the basket may make it. If it's too loud its staying home.

Btw, thule bars in a universal rail is cost effective and versatile if anyone is considering bed bars

 

They look high quality. Thanks!

 

Could the stock plastic piece be put over the plate for a factory look but strength of the steel ?

 

Spent some quality time cleaning her up and installing new seat covers and a new @CBoy808 sticker.

 

Yup I ran mine for a while. Still have it I I decide I wanna reinstall it

 

Either your phones crooked nor that's on crooked

 

Added some bling. LoL

 

Welcome again! It's like you finally got your wings!
