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

No need to over complicate things. Preventative maintenance is important but use the KISS method. Keep It Simple Stupid it is what I tell myself all the time

 

My old man pounded that in my head as a kid lol

 

Yeah well I am an older man and doing it to you again. We didn't get this old being completely stupid although most here ignore me

 

There's a whole line of POR 15 products for numerous applications. Colors, topcoats, rust preventatives, ect. Good stuff & they're damn proud of it ($$). But it works if used as specifically directed. We have a whole isle end-cap devoted to it at the NAPA I deliver for. I keep a small can (2 oz ?) in the garage. Comes in handy.

 

All good. I'm gonna pick a few things this month & lots if new things coming for the taco this summer. When it I get time between working 50+hrs & odd side landscaping jobs I have

 

Do they have a certain kind that I can apply to cleaned up rusty areas th o prevent rust from coming back? & I take napa is a good place to find it?
All my rusting areas seem to be near my welds.

 

What stereo dash kit is that? It looks way better than any other one I’ve seen for the 2nd gens.

 

What double din surround is this? I ahve been looking all over for something that doesnt look like crap. Good looking truck!

 

Installed the NFab tire carrier. Fit like a glove and hovers above the bed rather than mounted to it. No drilling.

 

Its pretty cool man, if you really like getting into details in audio controls and frequencies there’s an app for the iPhone. Capacitive Touch screen seems to work well, have to get used to having volume buttons instead of a knob. Favorite part is having apple maps and waze on the screen and using Siri to play music.
Also with an OBD2 add on you can get engine temp trans temp oil pressure and miles till empty gauge, along with a few other stats.

The main reason I got it was wireless apple CarPlay.

 

Bed lined my camper shell.
It’s actually taken about a week to do it right, but I just put it back on the truck today.

 

I dig the stripes

 

Thanks man, it’s this one. Seems to be the most highly rated. Doesn’t make any rattling noises in my truck.

Truck looks good I'm diggin the stripes also and that's not usually my thing

 

Who are you and what are you saying?










BTW: That is good advise on the POR, I had that on my list of things to do and now will relook at what I will do and probably just hit my sliders with rustolium...

 

Depending on what finish you want on your sliders, I just brusk on DIY bedliner and then spray about 3-4 coats of spray paint in satin black over them. The DIY bedliner has very little UV protection either.

 

I’m kinda lazy, so the finish I want is not rust color.... anything is good with me

 

Just makes it simpler

 

Sounds like the original POR 15 might be the ticket, IF the area is not exposed to direct sunlight. I know they have a topcoat for UV protection if needed.
