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

Exactly. I had mine powdercoated white, then just plastidipped them to match the grille

 

Just called the local stealership to get a quote to replace both upper and lower ball joints on both sides of my front end. I thought I would humor it since its starting to get cold out, I about had a heart attack.

They claim they can't replace the upper ball joint without replacing the control arm as well. Not sure how true this is but I went with it to get their quote.

Upper control arm replacement with ball joint was $1,053
Lower ball joint replacement was $1,063
Alignment $100

$2,216 total

I can buy aftermarket upper control arms as part of a lift kit, lower ball joints, buy a ball joint press and do it all for that much and still save. (plus get a lift out of it).

 

Hence "the stealership"

 

Installing these today , where Is everybody mounting them ?? Just drilling into the frame ?

 

Installed some slim in-channel window visors, oem Tacoma bed mat and gave the truck a mustache

 

What wheel fenders are those?

 

Which retractable tonneau do you have? Looking to swap out my current one for a retractable. Curious what thoughts you have on yours, thanks!

 

Wired up amber pods put on my studs for winter and flushed power steering.

 

Looks like a Peragon but I could be wrong!

 

Sound deadened the back of the truck.... while I can’t figure out what the hell is wrong with getting this power rear window to work.

 

It is indeed

 

It's a Peragon. I absolutely love it. It retracts, locks and mostly waterproof and whole thing is removable in about 60 seconds. Only issue is that it replaces the factory bed rails. Other than that it was cheap and amazing.

 

Sweet, have not heard of that one. Thanks!

 

Needed to relocate my trailer harness, having it rest 90* didn't work anymore. My 285 spare couldn't sit all the way against the hitch with the trailer plug in the way.... oh and rinsed off bird shit off my window...lol

 

Super clean. Looks great

 

Installed a 4 gallon Rotopax in the bed.

 

Cleaned inside and out.

 

Thanks man..

 

Nice! I joined a local maker space with plasma cutter and was thinking of making my own logo for the grill. No offense to anyone who buys, time is precious, but light fabrication is so accessible. How are you planning to affix them?

 

Perfect spot
