What do the locals think of the Tacoma?

 

Most germans hate the color but they like the truck.

 

Brought the boat home for the Summer. Getting her cleaned up and lake ready!

 

Nice!

 

1. Finished the install of my CB antenna: 4ft. Firestick w/ QD and HD spring mounted to the driver's side Total Chaos bed stiffener. zip tied the 18' coax cable along the bed rail (i'll run it under the plastic side cap as soon as I feel like taking my RTT and bed rack off), between the gap in the cab and side panel of the bed (there is a gap), then down under the cab, zip tied it to existing wires, then up through the drain plug directly under the driver's seat and up and out next to the center console. Eventually I'll drill a hole somewhere in the plastic once I decide where I want to permanently mount the unit. Finished it up by cutting a small notch in the rubber drain plug stopper to all for the cable, then silicon to seal it up.

2. Found the other two zerk fittings on the front drive shaft and lubed them with Lucas Red N' Tacky #2 (I did the other 3 yesterday). So handy that that front axle spins when in 2wd. Much easier than alternating 100x between shimmying under the truck and moving the truck a few inches at a time until the zerks are lined up in rear...

 

updated to the new Hondo Un-Holey mount. if only to regain use of the vent to alternate blasting my elbow or my ballz with A/C.

 

Had a little too much fun.

 

I installed the same letters on my new Tacoma. I was impressed with the quality for the price. They look great.

 

Put in some Morimoto fogs. Waiting to drive at night to see how they work out!

 

Fixed: "I had just the right amount of fun, now my truck looks like a truck, with battle scars"

 

I think I beat everyone. I paid $1.39 for my tailgate letters. Figured for the price it was worth a shot. When I got them I immediately bought another set in case mine eventually went to crap. Needless to say, over 2 years later, the price was a steal.

 

Are those TRD Off Road emblems for a 4 runner? Where did you get them? I have a cheap TRD emblem I got off eBay and the red is fading. Looking for something new.

 

Yeah, I bought it off some website for $60.00 flat for 2 badges, plastidipped em and put on the two tone vinyl from @rrentrop

 

Finally installed my Anytime Backup Camera (ABC). Still have to finagle the angle of the camera and maybe figure out a different mounting solution...

As far as the Guide Line switch goes, I couldn't make up my mind if I wanted them on or not so I installed a cheapy on/off button I had laying around in the engine bay. Its ugly so I didn't want to start drilling holes on my dashboard and putting in something ugly like that. If I find a nice on/off button, I may consider moving it into the cab... But for now, at least I still have the option...
