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

I had the little issue with the Bobcat and the trucks tailgate. I measured the distance the truck dropped and it was 12". The trailer ball on the Bobcats bucket did a really good number on this tailgate. It requires the tailgate to be replaced. Ripped the skins apart.

 

Rotated the tires too today.

Out of boredom, I slapped a set of Spidertrax on the one side of the truck to see what would happen. Needless to say, 8” et-10 wheels on 285s look like straight dog dick with 1.25” spacers.

 

Took my truck to get the 105K service, they did not top off the fluids like they claimed no did they take it through the car wash like I asked. So basically paid $60 for an oil change and oil filter replacement. I did order a missing part for my truck (cowl seal for bottom of windshield on Driver side). Still not too happy with their 'service'. I did not even get my inspection like I normally get. Wondering if it was a trainee.

Snap any photos? Lol

 

Has anyone seen this bull-bar/winch before?

 

Looks like a Warn “semi hidden” bumper.

Nope. It was too horrendous. Picture wheels that stick out an inch and a half past the edge of the fender flare and that’s what they looked like.

 

I ended up having my p/s return line rub into the header and melt so i decided to replace it and relocate the power steering reservoir so it can't happen again. Also finally mounted my horns and my outside air temp sensor. But have finally been able to drive the truck around, V8's are so much better than v6's.....lol

 

It can't be that bad. I saw this one the other day.

 

I see that everyday here lol

 

Looks like every long travel kit, every offroad race truck, every monster truck, almost every 1 ton SAS swap, and looks like my truck.

People get hung up on the weirdest crap sometimes. Everything has got to be the same or it's crap.

3" lift, 33's, billies, bumpers for rock crawling, and TRD stickers in as many places as possible - over and over and over and over like the Everready bunny.

Different is always scary lmao.

 

I hate it when that happens.

 

What tire size are you running or planning to run that you needed to tub the front like that?

 

Makes you want to see the oil and filter happen yourself don’t it?

Dollar>Service.

 

That’s not a bull bar sir. Bull bars would never be able to support a winch let alone the dangers they provide to your vehicle if in a high impact front end accident.

It’s a “low pro” bumper though. There’s a few companies like C4, SSO, And Victory off-road that make them. They run about 500-800 depending on if you want it to come powdercoated and if you want the bull bar or not. They keep most of the stock front end styling which I like and they are not overly heavy

 

Ohh well i already bought the one @TrailYeti has but ill put it on my wish list just incase thank you for the info

 

That is how all our trucks used to look. I still prefer that to the skinny tires all up under mu truck like i have now. The skinnies function well but just looks stock and boring. Shit I was running 36.5 x 15.5x 15 mudders on the jeep.

 

The funny part is ths isn't different. This is still how a lot of the big trucks are built. For some reason the masses are hung up on a Tacoma having to be built a certain way. I never have understood it

 

Could you explain the above please?

 

ARB calls them a bull bar....

 

True.

If it weren't for people thinking out of the box we'd still be driving horse drawn buggies. "Introducing the 2021 Tacoma triple cab double long bed. It can be powered by a single horse or a team of up to 9 horses. Extra wide tires that stick out 4 inches are a first time ever offered option for the Tacoma TRD for 2021." Lmao
