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

Although you agreed with me and I agree with you, your wording is a lot better than mine. Mainly because more steel can be worse in a major accident, more steel as in a plate bumper. But a weakly mounted bull bar making it worse is definitely not going to happen.



Idk why if someone misunderstands a post some feel the need to take cheap shots at another person, it says a lot more about the person taking the cheap shots than it does about the person that misunderstood something - which I didn't do this time but I do misunderstand things often.

 

Awesome! Shoot me a PM of what he would charge if you don't mind. I'm not too far from Bham. I have another company interested in using my truck as a platform for their 2.5 gen tacoma bumper and they would cut me a serious deal on it but just seeing what other options are out there.
Thanks!

 

yes sir ill keep you posted

 

Great, I didnt even think about that! Now I'll have to add it to the list. Thanks

 

Wasn't today but two weeks ago I installed some new baja designs sae amber fog lights and installed new tires. Went from 265/70/17 Toyo MT to 285/70/17 BfGoodrich ko2. Super pleased with them so far.

 

The carnage from the loose brake line fitting yesterday. The brake fluid took the paint off of the frame.

 

Finally got the shell on after being painted!

 

And that is why these frames rust sooo easy. Look how thin that coating is.

 

I'm just gonna leave this here and see if I get any feedback...

They both slide with the seat so no matter how long the driver's legs are they will always be in the same spot and easily accessible. The driver's fingers aren't at risk from sliding the seat past a stationary mount that's mounted to the floor. No drilling! No modifications required!

The bottom one is for fire extinguishers, flashlights, etc... anything of a large size.

The top one is incredibly useful. I've built a few in past years for other vehicles. EQ mount, CB mic mount, firearm mount (on private property), switch mount, flashlight mount, mace mount, damn near anything you cab think of that isn't huge like a fire extinguisher.

I know it doesn't look like it but I've got a lot of coin tied up in these. Both mounts will be available with a small or a large "head".

They both need "tweaking" prior to final production. I should have a few for sale in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately I made more than 1 of each so I'll have to do some sort of "1st run fire sale" or something idk because they do still work even though they need tweaking.

I'm praying a few of you guys like these and have some interest in them, I'm so overextended right now it's actually a little scary for my wife and I.

 

After running almost 70k miles on my K02's, I swapped out to the Michelin Defenders yesterday. Night and day difference. My new commute is about an hour each way of highway so it was the logical choice.

New brake rotors and pads are on order and will be replaced this week sometime.

Just rolled over 100,000 miles and she's ready for another 100,000!

 

Woodie award for sure!

 

Replaced rear differential fluid.
Following is a complete video - please let me know how i did.

Thank you!

 

Purchased a set of new take off 2020 sport struts and shocks for my baby. Less than 10 miles on them. I’ll be back to post before and after pics of front lift increase. Staying away from spacers so there will be a slight lean. Haven’t seen to many pics of 2nd gen sports with upgraded 3rd gen sport suspension components without spacers.

 

I think it looks cool but that metal is way too close to the driver. All I can see is shredded hamstrings in a wreck.

 

Put some speakers into the rear AC doors and added some soundproofing

 

Got the ARB awning put back on. I used the ARB brackets. Might add a third bracket.

 

Installed new OEM muffler/pipe assembly with lifetime warranty. Original had a sizeable hole in it last May and I would have failed state inspection. Just to get it passed I had a Walker Quiet-Flo installed. Never really liked it as it was louder than stock and it already started to rust where the pipe & muffler meet. Picked up the OEM assembly for a little more than I was quoted for a true Stainless Steel replacement (muffler only). Replaced the gasket & hardware too.
Pretty easy job.

 

I replaced the inner and outer tie rods on mine. They are super easy to change.

 

Do what now?? Lol
