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

He will need something like this so he pulls on the chassis and not the bumper itself. also the d-ring would be removable so there is no rattle and they won't get stolen.

 

On the process of spray painting my dash, blacking everything out and some trim blue loving how its coming out

 

What paint are you using to black out? I have been considering doing s few pieces.

 

Talk to me... What headlights are those?

 

BakFlip MX4. Amazon Warehouse Deals. $580. Box was open. Part was as new and all parts sealed in bags. Saved $400!

 

Im using rustoleum with a semi glass finish i kinda wanted to do flat but since the blue was satin just wanted it to pop out a little

 

A good flare wrench. Some liquid encouragement. Patience. Extended vocabulary. Brake fluid. More patience. Oh and a set a contortionist midget hands

 

Thanks for the heads up on these LEDS. Great price, way brighter than the stock halogen lights and best of all, no sign of hyper flashing.

 

Changed the oil, cleaned up the power steering fluid. Followed instructions on transmission drain and fill.

Last week fixed the squeaky uca bushings after rain and my venture through the desert.

Finally fixed the squeaky leafs. Found a little helper. Just loosened everything up inserted needle and hit it with the grease gun. It made getting the grease in in deep much easier. Going to change out the bolts and drill a few holes in the sleeves to help get the grease from the inside out. Make sure to wear your safety gear. Gloves don't hurt either. Sucker is sharp and I was terrified I was going to stab myself. Haha

 

Tire rotation and brake inspection. The stoptech rotors and hawk pads are amazing and have bedded together nicely.
I also finally eliminated the last piece of chrom on the exterior. Just an old 170,000mile chrome grille emblem. Wasn't aiming for perfect but its looks pretty good for spray paint.

 

Put in new front brakes original Toyota parts the last set lasted 89000 before they were down to 20%. Bled and freshened up the brake fluid and greased the UCAs while I was at it and sprayed fluid film in the leaf pack.

 

Sort of - the wilco is pretty bent but I'll know more in two weeks after I get the frame checked etc.

 

PArked at wORk, love the hips of the 2nd gen! #THICC

ALSO decided I’m going to debadge everythng on the tailgate for a cleaner, more old school ode’ look.

 

Need to do this! What are you sanding/prepping with?

 

I currently just have them still in the box in my truck, im pretty sure its the original box, and i think it has a part number on them. If it does, i will gladly snap a picture of it and give it to you. I had been looking around for a set anything like this, and these popped up on a facebook ad for $60, said they were only on for a month or two and he decided to go with something different. Couldnt pass them up, lol

 

Honestly just sanded it down with some red scotch after that i dusted and wiped all parts down with some alcohol

 

How the hell did you get those? Did he restock?

 

I’ll buy them from you!!

 

It only took me three years to install my hood gas struts. Give it time.

Nah, I’ll get to it sooner or later. Right now I’m busy helping mates get their trucks ready for a wheeling trip we are going on next weekend and getting my FlipPac ready to put on another guys truck so I can get started on my tray and canopy project.
