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

Definitely paint.
Peel coat and plasti-dip are pretty much the same thing.

 

First off, welcome to the addiction,
I just recently painted my bumpers and fender flares with a tintable bedliner (silver streak mica) that turned out fantastic, now I'm thinking of doing my door handles, mirrors and rocker panels.
Just another option for u to look at.

Here’s that thread^^

I’m gonna bedline my flares and bumper, eventually, with a bit less aggressive texture.

 

Ya, I didn't quite want it that aggressive but didn't take enough time dialing it in, I got excited cause I had been waiting on some warm weather for a couple months, o well. It's not as aggressive as it looks in the pics, but turned out great and I love it
I used 70 psi, but didn't realize that I wasn't pulling the trigger all the way and that's what makes the difference, good luck on your project

 

Most of which are useless.

 

I have the same useless 13 cup holders, I only use one on occasion, they should have used all that effort to put hood struts on, my .02

 

washed her yesterday


and got a shirt to match the truck

 

I use the door holders for goodies like winch controller, tire deflator, koozies, etc.

Toyota encourages hydration.

 

Same. Keeps it easy to access and out of the elements.

 

Betty Rattles and clanks on smooth roads, let alone off road.

Looks really good!!

 

All I see is a licence plate and two eyes....that is how I would like to be remembered when I cut someone off on the freeway. Haha.. looks good OP

 

I just spray painted my canopy with color match Dupli-Color and a clear coat. Came out as expected for the amount of beers I had in the amount of time I had them.
Picked up a bundle of 800+ grit orbital sanding discs on Amazon for ~$8 and went to town. Focus on the sanding, it'll pay off if you do. I skipped primer, bought (4) 8oz cans of paint (shoulda got 5) and (2) 16 oz cans of clear coat. Top of cap looks ok, but nobody see's the top! Out the door for supplies was probably around $70.

Between yesterday afternoon and this morning:
Ordered JBA uca
Debadged it
Installed some Maglite mounts
Washed it
Started on my aux fuse panel. Got the piece of plate and the angle free from work and spent $5 on a 1" wide piece for a zww brace to hold up the inside end. Need to trim up the angle some, get it cleaned up a little and painted.

 

I used to have a Mitsubishi Diamante. Large passenger car that had a total of 2 cup holders. It was a little tray in the dash that barely fit a can and was only about 1/2" deep. I'll take whatever toyota calls beverage holders over that nightmare of a car.

 

Wicked man I shall look into these for sure. Thank you for the detailed post, very helpful cheers. Love the look of this bumper.

 

6MT has three right behind the shifter.
The little one fits a beer can with a coozie no issues! The bigger ones hold 32 oz nalgene or 40 oz hydroflask as well. The others are great places to put your empties or have your next to be consumed close at hand!

Joking aside I keep a change jar in my cup holders at the rear end of the console, a tourniquet and Israeli bandage in the Drivers door cup holders and an improvised trauma kit in the drivers side rear (Access Cab). Pass side front door clear usually *EDIT* this is where my wife stashes all her road trip garbage for me to find weeks later, a Ryobi Power Inflator & NOCO Jump Pack in the Pass side rear (Access Cab)

 

13 cupholder. 13 beers. 100% useful.

 

Bakers dozen!

 

Before and after

 

Needed more light. Added a deflector to the front edge of my Prinsu cap rack. Prinsu doesn't make a deflector like the cab rack so had a local fabricator whip up something super simple. Then added a twenty inch Rigid light.
