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

I would have done the same. I wasn't questioning your motives...it's your truck to do with as you please, AFAIC. Just had to give ya a little

 

Thinking bout mounting my cb here. What yall think? Anybody do this yet?

 

Will it be in the way of the shifter when it's in 1,3 or 5?

 

Not if its mounted just like in pic

 

Dropper post? Best cure for a dropper is 200mm of double crown!

I went with a rocky mounts swingaway for my whip. Only goes up to two bikes which is great for keeping too many of the guys from bumming rides. End game is a 3 bike one-up on a Wilco or Kuat swingaway arm

 

Traded my stock bumper/fog lights, TRD skid, and $100 for this steel bumper. Was custom fabbed by a guy in knoxville.

 

How well does the amber on raptor lights match the amber on light bar?

 

I havent gotten around to wiring that bar up. It came with the bumper. Its on my to-do list today.

 

Hauled 3 coolers of beer and 1 bigger cooler of just ice for a party today

 

Spent the last almost 4 hours trying to get my drivers axle out to do the ECGS bushing and can't get it to budge. Even took the 45 min round trip walk to Advance Auto to rent a slide hammer. Been trying the rotate 1/6 turn and using both the prybar and slide hammer. And in the process it looks like I buggered up the threads on the axle shaft.
Oh what a feeling.

 

Damn, that looks like it's going to be a good weekend!

 

I used a pry bar at first, but then put a BIG flathead against those notches on the outside of the axle and hit the screwdriver with a hammer, turn, repeat.

 

@fasteddieyj I also had my brother to pull on it. Keep turning it and hitting it/prying it, the "locker snap ring thingy" has to be oriented the right way to get it out.

 

FINALLY!!
I had given that a shot before and got under there and went at it again. What a huge pain int he ass. Hopefully the rest of the job goes a little smoother. I did also confirm that the threads on the outer shaft are screwed. Luckily Advance has one in stock. Thanks again.

 

lubed the ome HD leaf springs because they were driving me crazy

 

New from Homertaco.

 

Ah, yes. This was the prototype and I believe that he's willing to make more.

Mounted it after I got home from a mountain bike ride this morning.

 

Finally put my AC clutch back together. What a PIA those snap rings are!! I had to sand down the opposite end of my copper plated ones so they were an exact fit for the snap ring.
At least it wasn’t the compressor that went out.

Edit PITA

 

Mine already got a new frame in 2014, this is the bottom side of the rocker.

 

I took my rock sliders off to paint.

I scuffed off the milscale with a flat sanding pad and got the hard spots with sand paper.
I cleaned them with brakleen and put a generous coat of primer on. I got the paint from where i work, my co worker said "have you felt that endura zinc once it's dry? Its like iron". That was a motivating factor for choosing it.
Im waiting 24 hrs for it to cure before i put the top coat of acrolon 218.

Peace tacoma lovera/haters!
