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

Anyone in here rocking an offbrand tailgate?

Found this on EBay and they’ve sold 130+ of them and 7 people took the time out of their day to review a tailgate on eBay. Full send?

Thanks. They are just OEM mirrors off a Sport model I swapped onto the truck.

I just did it on a hot sunny day. Heat gun would also have the same effect. The adhesive left from it is a pain in the ass to remove. Plan on spending some time cleaning it off.

 

Installed the ARB 2000 Awning onto my Prinsu Cabrack. I'm 6ft tall and the awning sits at about 6'1" so I might add the L brackets to lift it up another 3" but I really like the streamlined look mounted flush to the rack it has now. Will test it out this weekend and decide.

 

You should switch to balance beads. My tires tool 12-15 oz on one. After having weights come off while off roading and having to drive home with my steering shaking VIOLENTLY 2.5 hours home... I switched to centripital balance beads. Not an issue since!

 

I like to wait until just before sunset to wash vehicles. Helps out a little with the rush!

Ive always had good luck with Goodyear air hoses. Its all I use in my shop at home, and its what my step dad used on his service trucks.

Oh and let the plug haters hate. We put 50,000 miles on a plug in my wifes last car. Shes had one in her new truck tire for 10,000 miles and Ive had one in the taco tire for 20k. I bought the $^#& thing with a screw in the tire. LoL

When I raced dirt bikes and quads i carried a plug kit and a mini hand pump under my seats. I had a front tire on a 400EX with over 40 plugs in it. Its crazy how much stuff you pick up racing through the woods.

PLUGS FOR LIFE!! haha

 

I use a Goodyear air hose on my truck. I've had it for about 6 years, never had an issue.

I also use tire plugs - I've run several hundred thousand miles on plugged tires. Never had an issue.

Of course, one day we plugged a hole in the sidewall of my friend's tire on his Bronco. We used 4 plugs to fill the hole. We got about 10 miles before the plug popped out. LOL Good times...

 

Yea, my air hose at home for the big compressor is Goodyear. No issues there, I wonder if they make smaller hoses for inside the truck? I'll have to check it out.

I agree on the plugs, been in the tire business all my life and have never seen the plug be a failure. Usually the tire was fubar before a plug went in it lol. But, haters gonna hate.

 

Is it a small, coiled up hose made by Goodyear? I'm trying to stay as compact and light as possible. The one that failed was Amflo which I normally have good luck with. But the Viair one looks pretty legit.

 

That’s dead sexy.

 

Wired up my Baja S2 Sport Flush reverse lights

 

Doesn't seem to be alot of print on thingiverse, where do you source you files? Or do you cad them?

 

Why the Temp Tag?

 

Oh and NICE LIGHTS!

 

I cad most my stuff. Most the stuff I have to print is pretty specific

 

Just ordered my DV tags last Wednesday, so I'm waiting for then to come in.

Thanks!

 

does anyone make a vinyl type wrap or skin for removed flares to cover the holes?

 

Amazon . There are 2 kinds one for the end of a garden hose and one for the pressure washer . I have the PW one !

 

Not bad for a 2008

 

People hate on plugs?

Any vinyl wrap will cover the holes

 

I take eBay reviews with a grain of salt. I personally left a negative review on a product once and the seller was able to have it deleted within a couple hours.
