clean them up, perhaps value goes up as well?
somebody is bound to need one sooner or later?

 

weird ? here
what is that piece called/used for that is above the passenger rear jump seat, right up close there by the window
... never seen one before and feel like learning something new today
I believe this is a 2oo2
is it an airbag

 

Its covering the baby seat attachment/anchor point.

 

that is a new one!
those are in all models equipped with a passenger airbag?

 

I thought those were standard in Tacoma's. Pretty sure my dad's 95.5 had one. But I've slept since then so I can't remember.

 

it ain't in mine! or that trim piece i recently salvaged from a totaled '95.5 locally last month but that was just a single cab

 

Child seat restraint mount point

 

They probably had different standards then. But thats just to mount a car seat. The passenger seat should have a tab to if its rated for a car seat

 

I sandblast things for a living, what’re you trying to do?

 

Child Seat Anchor. Pull the cover off and it’s a hook. Part of NHTSA safety legislation in the early 2000’s.

 

No. Became standard in 2001. The Tacoma didn’t have a Passenger airbag until 1998.

 

sandblast and clean my frame up for a good midlife paint job
do I need to trek out to CA to get it done properly?
what are your rates!!

i saw what @CS_AR did to his frame and that is what I would like done

 

I'd kinda like to see a B&M gated ratchet shifter but with the Toyota handle and body cover on it. That way he can still give it hell if he goes to a manual valve body.

I still think it's funny seeing the great lengths someone went to on that little 5lug to make it look like it was a limited model

 

No it covers the tie down point for a child seat

 

It had s runner wheels but s runners didnt have 4 cylinders sooo...

 

You’re better off taking it to a dustless sandblasting place that usually sprays car bodies, they’ll have better equipment than most people can get. Some of them are mobile and come to you.

You could even get it powdercoated or galvanized.

 

i shall check if there are any local places that do that dustless

 

Does anyone think the Nationwide ads with Payton Manning and Braid Paisely are absolutely stupid as hell? I can’t stand them. They’re just so forced and ridiculous.

I love Geico’s caveman commercial, it goes back decades and is just generally unique and funny. Allstate with Dennis Haysbert and Dean Winters are pretty funny. State Farm’s neighbor thing has its moments.

But Nationwide... y’all screwed up.

 

Why are you watching commercials

 

If you’re spending money on sandblasting the entire frame, I wouldn’t put paint on it again. I’d have it Galvanized or Powdercoated, leaning towards the former.
