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

Looks great!

 

Dats purdy!!

 

Yeah I’m on the fence. I like that one because it says sport rally 5 speed and mines a manual. But I agree it’s clean with no decal. I just ordered color matched door handles and will be getting color matched rear bumper at some point

 

i wrapped my door handles and rear bumper with vinyl. If its done right, it looks perfect. Thats another option for you

 

Installed a 2017 TRD OR suspension set in my 06 this week...lifted the front about an inch...the ride is sooooooooo much better...can take turns much faster (not that I should) and there’s no body roll...it’s a bit stiffer but it soaks up harsh bumps! No taco lean, no spacers, no vibrations, mild lift, great ride, no complaints...if you wanna upgrade your 2nd gen Suspension I highly recommend this!!!

Post TRD suspension

 

Finally, started to document it in a build thread

Covered the ugly leading edge film on my rear fenders. The film had hardened and rotted so bad (I assume had been applied originally installed on the truck) that a heat gun wouldn’t take it off without sacrificing the integrity of the paint. Applied bed liner from dupli-color. Wanted a rugged “overland” look, pretty happy with it.

 

Thanks for sharing! I've been considering the same sort of thing for my '07. Previous owner put a leveling kit and AAL on mine. Suspension squeaks like a banshee and the bounciness of it is unreal. Aftermarket suspension is ~3K for what I was looking at. Seems like CL is a good place to find the OEM OR stuff.

 

Where did you get the AC/4x4 switch knobs

 

Removed the jumpseat cushions and seatbelt latches. Plugged the bolt holes with plastic bumper cover push-clips.

 

Painted my stock Tacoma skid plate.

Before:


After:

 

Installed my new mirror after obliterating my old one on a tree. Also got some stainless hardware and drilled some holes to bolt down the bottom of my license plate. It tends to get flipped up in water crossings somehow.

 

I washed it and I fueled it and then I went to work , lmao
I put 5100’s on the rear and doing the front this weekend
Also replaced exhaust with Walker quiet flow S
Would love to lift it

 

Be free my mirror!!! Live the life you’ve always dreamt of!!!

 

I want to do this just to clarify did you spray the bed liner over the original clear protector ?

 

Not today we been busy but yesterday I drove my Tacoma to my Daughters wedding

 

I would have left the artwork!

 

New OEM rotors and pads. Got tired of trouble shooting squeaky brakes with aftermarket pads. Why did I not go with drilled you ask? They don't use asbestos in pads anymore so no need for holes to let gas escape. Just say, "no" to holes in your rotors.

 

They are from AJT Designs. You buy just one, three, or all four.

It allows cross directional air flow for cooling.
