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

I've been waiting 8 years for mine lol. I think my neighbors keep stealing them or something.

 

Im confused

 

Maybe a prerunner?

 

I put in my BirdDawg mirror relocator. Their website says it's not for powered mirrors, but I made some modifications to make it work.

One of the best things I've done, visibility is improved so much with the mirror all the way up by the headliner.

Got my roof racks adjusted, gotta figure out how to get my Tepui RTT on the roof by myself.

Scheduled to pick up a new front bumper from BAMF on Thursday!

 

Today was productive.

• I changed the oil and filter
• Changed the cruise control stalk
• Replaced both headlights (full shell and lens)

Next up, all diff/trans/case fluid changes and new belt for engine. Woot!

welded rock sliders on my 06 dcsb. Couple action shots. Really pleased w the outcome. $500 w install seems reasonable.

 

500 bucks? Ya dude that's a steal..... I bought my used apex all pro sliders for 250, plus 50 dollar hardware kit and 200 bucks for powdercoat we both scored!

 

I hate to see you leave us, it seems that everything I've posted you liked. With @ChadsPride likes semi disabled and you going to the turd gens who's going to like all my post I make, @ACEkraut?

 

$500 is that with the rock slider or just the install?

 

if ever there was an argument for de-badging, here it is.

 

Finally convinced the boss lady that having a rear bumper, sliders, and no front bumper just makes no sense... Lol!
Trigger pulled!!

 

You won't be disappointed. Love mine!

 

Looks insane! Best looking 2nd Gen plate bumper IMO..

 

Yea for no more than the system cost, I am going to pick one up. I had no idea what I was missing! Worked great on the Wifey's Burb as well!

 

The only downside to them is that they don't make a specific adapter for the master cylinder so you have to use one of the universal kits which can be a little bit of a pain to get installed and sealed well enough to build up enough pressure in the bottle. This is at least true for my 2015.

 

what's the brand / link for that bumper? looks great!

 

Yea I bought the universal 1101 which works for 3" or smaller round reservoirs. Holding it all together while trying to tighten the wing nuts was a juggling act, but still way better than needing 2 people to flush the brakes.

It does look like you can use this one and by pass all the chains and wing nuts. You will need the correct adapter to connect it to the Motive pump. I saw it before i ordered, but since i was buying it for someone else; I just went with the universal.

I told my friend I would buy it for him since he let me borrow the kit. Had I know the adapter cost half as much as the entire assembly, I would have just bought my own. Either way I am only out $24 to flush the brakes on both vehicles, plus the cost of brake fluid. I am sure the stealership would have got me for over a $1000 including the transmission flush and transfer case flush I did on my Wifey's Burb.

 

Bay Area Metal Fab and they just released their hybrid bumper as well.

I didnt do this... But i just noticed it today, and kinda pissed considering I havent driven my truck the whole weekend.

 

I found one just like that the last time I knocked all the salt off my truck. Didn't even notice it until the taco was clean. Buffed the paint out, but the dent lives on.
