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

Yeah, I noticed that pic later after posting it and was like, wow, that's Bad Ass lol.


I used Severe Gear for Front and Rear Diffs and Synthetic Manual Transmission & Transaxle Gear Lube for the Manual Transmission and Transaxle.

 

How thick? I don't have a brake so I' probably cut & weld.

 

Swapped out my oem cv's for some cheap napa ones. Gonna rebuild my oem ones and do the boot slide mod and throw them back on the truck. Will use the 2 napa parts as trail spares. They have a nice lifetime warranty.

 

how do you like them now that you've had them a bit. Any chance to hook up the heat/cooling? my drivers side "wing" is pretty ratty, i'm thinking this would be a nice upgrade.

that's the exact same spot I ended up mounting my scoche mount. Love that thing, so fast and easy to slap the phone on!

is that bedliner on your truck? Thinking of doing the same thing here, did you use raptorliner by any chance?

@Canoehead Another Tailgate idea for ya!

are you able to return the antenna and go with a non ground plane antenna? That would eliminate the need for bare metal

 

Not sure. 1/4" maybe. For the people that have these, what is the tickness?

 

No sir,

My truck is vinyl wrapped matte black, my sliders are powder coated textured black which made them the exact same color as the truck.

 

I was thinking 3/16" should be sufficient. I pushed on the side of my bed & it deflects pretty easily. Doesn't seem like it'll take much.

 

What size spacers are those?

 

Passed NC state inspection, had the tires rotated, cleaned up the rims and took a chance with Outlast Brake dust repellant. Maybe it'll keep the rims looking nice for more than 2 weeks. Supposed to last 4.

 

1/4" would be severely overkill IMO. 3/16" is as thick as I'd go.

 

very cool,
i literally just read the part of your thread where you vinly wrapped it, how's it holding up to the abuse? any tears yet?

 

Right. Count me in! Err, wait. Need to pick up some bar.

 

On year 3 and its in amazing shape for the abuse I put it through.

The bumper just took a beating and that is the only damage the wrap has at all.

 

Probably not at this point but I'm sure I could sell it if I replaced it with something else.

 

absolutely love the seats, way more comfortable sitting in LA traffic with the leather compared to the old cloth

 

Finally got some new taillights!

 

Wash day! Finally got a chance to give the ol' gal a bath after what felt like months of rain. Used Car Guys Hybrid Wax Sealant for the first time. That shit is magic in a bottle.

 

Getting Total Chaos Tabs welded on at Mule Expeditions. Super stoked to get the truck back with a solid alignment!

 

Installed my new-to-me HomerTaco grille!

 

Dang son you aint kidding. Looks good.
