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

met up locally w/ @MidnightRebel07 & scored a free matching spare. thanx agaian man!

 

Lubed my drive shaft for the first time (I’m at 35K) using the invaluable knowledge found in this thread:

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/drive-shaft-lube-points-2nd-gen-4wd.225161/

 

I do this about once a month, for the same reasons

 

Built a removable bed rack to fit over my softopper. As soon as my RTT ships it will be the first thing mounted on it. (More pics uploaded in my build thread) Followed Roversvx's thread here.

 

I like it that is a really good idea

 

Not gonna lie its a bit heavy and awkward to hold while the wife bolts it in but totally worth it to have it removable without taking the softopper down and the rails off.

 

I’ll be buying one and cutting it down to fit my reg cab.

 

What did you use 1x3 tubing?

 

1x2 rectangle tubing 1/8" wall, and 1-3/4" round tube for the bushings to sit in.

 

Changed out a knock sensor...
My daughter has hands small enough to work behind the pipes. Thank God. I really didn't want to drain the antifreeze and start pulling the front of the motor apart. She was determined to get it back together. But after dropping the bolt one to many times, I made a hanger for the sensor out of copper wire and put the bolt in/through the sensor and she did the rest.

Making papa proud.

 

I've actually been to NM several times and liked it, but there wasn't any way to get my truck there on the route I took. I only barely touched AZ as it was.

 

Made it back home from Tahoe with only one hiccup...toddler barfed on the way down. Contained to her car seat, but yuck !!!

One shot from the trip.

 

Took a cool photo

 

Is that a homer grill?

 

Not today, but I put my Brute Force bumper on. Now I just need to settle on a grill.

 

Can’t go wrong with eBay lol

 

I like those, but I also really want an open mesh grill, because there's a particular badge I'd like to put on it. Id also like to color match the grill surround, and I'm just not sure how that'd look with the faux pro. I'd love to grab a Homer grill, I just can't justify $300+ on a cosmetic upgrade at the moment, even though his grills are totally worth it.

 

I’m partial to this one myself..

 

Good pic, I like how you made your license plate into a skid plate is that placement legal btw?

 

front most part of the vehicle and visible. this is borderline. i wont give law enforcement this opportunity.
