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

Ok trying to figure out how to haul mine. Its a 17.5 just wondering if i need to use my hitch extender upright to catch the rear.

 

Thank you. I just realized that I can bend some scrap steel and put it under the factory hooks for a high lift mount. Now that's a mod the wife cant complain about. No cost involved

 

like the location, have done the same thing with mine

 

3 degree, not sure if there are others. This was recommended to me by another TW member

 

Shit man if your tires don’t rub and the shit don’t fall off and hit somebody driving down the road . I’ve done a few and different types. I always look at how orhers do it and lots of times ask why they did it this or that way? Most take it like I’m insulting there work but mostly I’m just curious you never know where you may find an idea to give a better product or speed up the process. Some flks are just like if it’s not their way it’s wrong though

 

Who sells them?

 

This particular one is:

Looks like Flower Mound?

 

Decided to remove my plasti dip from the grille surround after 2.5 years. It looked great up until about 2 months ago when it started getting discolored. What a pain in the ass to remove. Peeling it was going good but slow so i introduced the WD40. That shit made a fucking mess and it wouldn't peel anymore. Took it to the carwash and tried blasting it off which kinda worked. After 2 hours of me and my 7 yr old scraping with our fingernails its all off. Now its back to the stock base grey. Someday ill order the painted grille from Camelback.

 

Or you could just take it to a body shop and pay them to paint it...

 

I painted mine at the body shop I worked at. It looks much better.

 

Saw a review a while back on them,

Another interesting side effect: I’ve had the dreaded transmission “cluck” when stopping or starting since I got this truck two years ago. Took it to the dealer who told me I had missed the TSB and wanted $1,100 to replace the drive shaft.
Changed the transmission fluid and no more clunk.

 

Re coated my truck box I built... sense I effed up the raptor liner!

Next will be a

Bedslide
Camper

And everything else!

 

Thanks brother. Good review and in my budget.

 

Dude! Thats sweet. Any chance you did a build thread on that box/slide setup?

 

nice, your going to love not seeing the original hang down anymore.

 

What coating did you use? I like this!!

 

Installed my new front suspension with Icon RR Coilovers and SPC now just waiting for my rear Icon 2.5’s with RR to show up

 

I want to paint mine. Tell me about the paint you used.
