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

Congratulations! Yeah we’re looking at land out in Colorado! Beautiful country

 

Played with the demon eyes a bit. Bit blurry.

 

Finally got some sliders for my truck. Installed them over the weekend. I still have a couple more bolts to install, but I'm in no real hurry as I'm not doing any rock crawling. Picked these up off of craigslist for a steal. So glad to finally have some.

 

They were handles for alligator bangsticks. .44 mag .357 mag 410 12 ga and a few others.

 

I think I sold my last one this season. Tired of making them. 7 hrs. of machine work each one.

 

At a stop sign on the way to work this morning ..

 

Changed my RIGHT side bellows boot. There is a difference I found out.. and no one stocks them. They do however stock the rack and luckily the manager at O’Riellys does what he wants and pulled the boot right off that sucker for me.

Also, turns out, the freezer bag and grease option is not effective..

 

Did some work on the junkyard topper to get it trail worthy. Mounted and wired the solenoid box for the Warn and got it going.

 

Went to the Air show and took a picture with the same helicopter that chased me down in my very first Tacoma World Post. Spoke to the pilot and crew chief and they laughed and said "Yeah, we're sorry we thought you were someone else!"


I need to cut back on the beers.

 

Finally found a cap in my budget. Leer 100XL. no carpet inside but it has the Thule roof racks and clothes hanger inside. Time to brush up on my tig welding and build an aluminum rack for it to support my RTT.

 

Went to the lake over the weekend for my birthday

 

Is that an ARB with no option for fog lights? Never seen that before..

 

That hurts to watch.. No other options to get out of there - winching sideways, rocks under the tire, anything..?

 

Nope! The trail was pretty off camber. My ass end was originally 3' towards the passenger side but it kept sliding down. It was either go forward and damage my bedside even more, or just sacrifice the mirror. I wasn't upset in the slightest though. My last trip there I also destroyed a mirror, so that was a cheap ($40) replacement I tore off. Just part of the game and I'm ok with that! Duct taped it to the truck and made it home with no issues.

 

For the third time, and I was 5 minutes late...

Just giving you a hard time. Outstanding milestone!

 

Upgraded my phone to the Pixel 3 which has wireless charging. Found this Scashe Qi enabled mount that works with my Ram setup.

 

Went to my alma mater IU for tailgating and a game for my birthday weekend. I love having a lot of space for tailgating.

 

Did some truck things (not today but a few weeks ago)



Not pictured below as an extension ladder resting on the roof of the cab and on the top of the bed extender with it setup tall.

 

Love the de-badged look. Ditch the bed decal to complete the look!

Nice truck, dig the grill too

 

Put a shell on!
