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

No I was dumb and thought I would get money for my lift, wheels and tires.... that didnt go well. My retro fit headlights were obviously trashed so those were the most expensive i couldnt get back.

Funny enough the truck auctioned for almost 9k when they put it up. I was gunna try and buy it back but not for that much lol

 

Looking to paint the taco, just torn on the colour, also if i should colour match the hood when i paint it or leave the hood and grill black. Also not sure if i should throw on a nice set of bushwackers probably not much wider than factory fender flares. Let me know what you guys think, Thanks for your input.

 

Have the photoshop guru’s whip some new colors on your truck for you.

Nice rig man, for your prerunner looking truck fibber glass fenders all the way but im kinda going for the adventure/camping/overland look so thinking bushwackers might be a better route for me, love the matte grey btw

 

Night shot

 

ARB bumper ordered. Tracking info for goodies have been forthcoming. This will be the seventh year straight that I've blown my last paycheck prior to being laid-off on my truck.

 

Moved my Rago Fabrication bed bar-mounted lights to my bumper, mounted my traction pads my Rago bars, mounted my Rotopax and mounted my shovel to my Rago bars. Also, I threw up some Halloween decorations.

 

Picked up and threw on some Toyota racks over the weekend. Next is taking the side steps off




Thanks @diabetiktaco . Nice chattin with ya!

 

E-Paz... Putting different side steps on?

 

Looks good. You sure it wasn't a U-bolt flip kit that you returned?

For your truck, I vote bushwackers and color match the hood/grill. Stick with a similar to stock color so that the door jams and under the hood match. Would be weird to paint the truck a different color and see the silver every time you open the door. Of course, that can be remedied, but it's a lot more money.

 

You know, I'm an idiot. I should have offered to trade you for your roof seals. Would have been a good trade for both of us.

 

This past weekend, my father and I changed the oil (Mobile 1 synthetic and Fram filter), diff fluid (valvoline SYNpower), Fram air filter and cabin air filter, along with rotating the tires and greasing the drive shaft. Nothing crazy but good maintenance, and I use the FIXD OBDII monitor and app to keep track of everything.

 

the shocks.... oh sorry, I thought the picture was of the shocks

 

Nice work

 

Usually I'm a fan of the color matched but the black hood and grille looks mean af

 

Lookin badass Josh

 

Most any auto parts store will have the shock bushings. They are not brand specific.

The bed bolts can be replaced with metric bolts - I don’t know the size, easy enough to figure out. Make sure you get grade 5 equivalent bolts.

 

New 700lb springs, Marlin crawler kit and skids trimmed to fit oh yea expo arms

 

New alternator

 

Thanks, Matt
