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

No worries, just glad you're ok. Again, good idea to take photos with you and describe the accident thoroughly. It will give the doctor a better idea of what your body went through, and what specifically to look for.

 

Been looking at one of those. Almost got one on black friday but got a bumper instead. How's it sound? Looking for something growly but not real loud.

 

Here you go, have a look:

Myself and another member Also just happens to be a very good friend of mine and my whole family built and installed my tire carrier. Then today I installed my roof rack. Hopefully this coming week I’ll get my tracks installed on my shell, then get the cap rack installed.



I’m going to add a lock to the swing out. For added security that one it doesn’t ever come open and two security in Itself someone doesn’t decide to get into my bed (it’s happened) anyone ever tried one of these ?

$34 Bolt 7023539 Padlock for Toyota Keys

Bolt 7023539 Padlock for Toyota Keys

 

I did, every one of my mates with a Tacoma could open them after I set them with my key.

 

How have they held up? I’m looking at ordering one for the swing out, one for trailer hitch, and one for my camper tongue.

 

I have that padlock, the cable lock and hitch pin (I hate carrying extra keys haha)

Tire carrier looks great

 

Damn, guess I should see if that happens with mine. Luckily they aren’t locking down anything really valuable

 

Installed a new bed rack and added some stuff to it

 

Absolutely wild. Buy that Mexican insurance! It's a real thing

 

you might want to keep an eye on the 2nd gen parts for sale this week...

 

I dealt with insurance companies a long time, don't let them low ball or walk on you. My wife's car got rear ended, they wanted to use used parts, I said no, eventually I got the money for new parts and the insurance company paid my deductible and they sent me a thank you card and a birthday card. !!

I did the repairs myself and pocketed $1,200 on a $2,300 claim - with new Toyota parts.

 

Looking very nice man. What backspacing are on those wheels? And wheel spacers? Are you running stock LCAs? Do you mind posting a pic of how much your tire pokes out? Sorry for all of the questions but I’v been thinking about getting those fenders for a while now.

 

I got a killer deal on some tires.
Then I got a good deal on the exact wheels I wanted.

Then I cut my tailgate open

Then I beat the dents out of it.
Next I figured out the tailgate was really bent

So I clamped a bar to it and beat on it some more... then I welded the bar in on the inside

Then I started a structural frame for the inside of the tailgate

Then I ran out of mig wire and Argon... I'm adding about 10 pounds of steel to the tailgate and it should come in handy if I decide to put the spare tire on the back.

 

I can't compare to stock I was lazy and cheap, the muffler had been rusted out for a long time. It's not real loud but does have some sound to it. Need more miles.

 

I never said I hated cats, I just hate that they are climbing on my truck and scratching the paint and leaving cat paw tracks all over it. I'm just looking for a nice Humane way to deal with the situation. I had to deal with the birds 2 years ago when the would stand on my mirror's and had to deal with there digestive issues. I just covered the mirror's with plastic shopping bags and hung up a plastic owl in the carport, no more bird problems since then.

I've never knew these existed, I will definitely be checking this out. Thanks for the tip.

 

Damn!
A moment of silence please while I try to digest this.

Its not my driving I watch out for....its all the idiots out there trying to crash my truck everyday!!!

I am so sorry for your loss

 

Dude... He made every wrong decision that day... unbelievable
