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

Not today, but last week I installed a new Head Unit. Huge upgrade from the stock unit.

Gave it a bath! The weather has sucked the last few weeks. Finally 58 and sunny today!

 

Tried this am, film won't adhere flat because they have a convex tour on the lense

 

I didnt want the cali raised pods, the ones I have are sae made my superbrightled so I can use them on the street without blinding people. I wanted fogs I can use daily driving. And these things are rad!

 

If you use a heat gun it will conform to crazy curves. Quite a few videos on YouTube about it, search headlight or tail light tint.

 

Correcting taco lean

 

By the way, did you find a source for very small amounts of colored tint? The smallest I could find was 1'x4'.

 

How much lift?

 

I bought a roll on Amazon dont remember proce but it wasn't to expensive it's to do my 32 bar and pods 3 times

 

Installed oem color matched grill

 

It has a 2" suspension lift, 285/75R16 tires, and was rusty years ago. The removable top has been eliminated, the top of the tailgate and top of the "bed" have been reshaped and sealed with steel, the rear bumper and push bar are custom, the rusty roof was replaced with a roof off of a Tercel (remember those late '80's Tercels with the tall roofs?, good luck finding a good 4Runner roof) that has a fairly large moonroof to see the desert's stars, it's a SR5 model, 22RE, 5 speed, and my friend Paul did all of the work years ago. The truck just had a shit ton of work done to it (rear differential seals, heater core, heater control cable, rebuilt factory power window switches, passenger power window regulator and motor, entire new AC system, I'm forgetting stuff). My friend Tony of Lifestyle Garage did the mechanical stuff and I did the heater core and electrical repairs. It's amazing how well that Raptor bed liner has held up. Here's another picture of it and the person that crashes it in a minor manner (lol).

The front hitch is used to launch boats into the river.

 

It’s yanny not laurel!

 

Cut my wind fairing, built some brackets and got the Baja designs 40” S8 mounted up. For anyone curious the cut is 42.5”x1.75”.

 

That looks about 42.575

So few weekends ago I did @crashnburn80 brake upgrade





After several bed in runs they were biting then I developed a nice squeel so I spent today taking it a part and removing the crappy grease Napa recommended with some more high temp stuff



I also spent 8 hrs in the rain on Friday man handling this new rtt




After several scraps, swear words, having to warm my hands a few times it was secured.


And the next day I opened her up to this




If you look closely at the back rear siding of the prinsu cap rack...it looks like twisted Swiss cheese. I might have got a little overzealous with ratchet and not paying attention to where my supports were.


Busy weekend to say the least.

Oh and I installed christmas lights on the truck.

 

Note for street legal compliance on Christmas lights, they must be white/yellow/amber, multicolored is technically not legal.

 

here in VA everything is illegal....I just plan on having it on in parking lots and drive way

 

What RTT is that?

 

Things I'm not excited about:

• Toyota making me buy my own front recovery point.

Things I am excited about:

• Celebrating my new front recovery point by treating myself to an Alu-Cab Expedition III and Shadow Awning.

 

Parked next to stock pickup...

 

Huh, I wonder if christmas lights are illegal on my AR?
