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

Finally put on the Cover Kings.

 

@Scott B.
I took the time and cleared some of the smaller bench tools, and mounted the vise as you suggested.

So much easier, less juggling. Thanks for the suggestion, I appreciate it.

 

You're welcome.

I've done that a time or two.... And, I now use my impact instead of a ratchet. Much faster.

 

Blacked out behind the grill.

 

$100 Kenwood speakers for front and back. Way better than stock and didn't break the bank. I have to go back and do the tweeter upgrade too

 

These came in today , now waiting for the kicker tweeters! Can’t decide whether to go with a kicker hideaway or the sound ordinance 8”sub under the chair.

 

Hit 132,000 on the way home. 100 miles after I had the transmission replaced.

 

Dude, that's a wall-hanger right there! Excellent image!

 

put on some 315s

 

Love the truck man

 

that's a weird way to change the tire

 

you mean everyone doesn't change their tires like that?

 

I just realized I follow you on Instagram. Had a question. The paint on my roof is starting to get bad and I was thinking about doing the black roof like you did. What did you use?

 

Swapped LEDs in the AC cluster.... didn't fix the light out on the far right knob though. Look a little pinkish in the pic



My license plate leds bit the dust so got a new set

 

Washed it

 

Dug the foam cannon out while the weather was nice.

 

What the heck did you do to the tranny that it quit on you at 132k?

And here I am contemplating if 285s are going to be too wide.

Is there a write-up on this? Also, the lights behind my AC knobs only work sometimes. Would love to figure out a fix other than spinning the dial as quickly as I can (which usually works).

Everyone and their foam cannon. Does it just look cool, or do you get some function that is better than the old soap and bucket method? If it gets technical at all, please explain like I'm 5.

 

I will usually use my foam cannon after I do a quick power wash to remove stuck debris. In my experience, the foam helps lift the dirt away from the surface of the paint and then drips away. Thus, when using a proper 'two bucket' method, this helps minimize the scratching of the paint. You can also think of it as like a pre-wash. Remove as much as you can before ever physically touching!

Plus it looks cool!

 

Does the lettering on them mean anything. Like what type of truck they are for ie. Sport, Off Road?

 

Last night, I liberated her from the dealership!
First gen owner here, and I must say, I have fallen head over heals for the way the second gen feels, and drives (always loved the looks)...

P.S. sales rep a$$hole parked her
