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

I like the original head lights, I’d like to replace mine as they are starting to haze too. Where did you get yours from for that price?

 

Went glamping for the night.

 

Sick shot!! ...Love the cloud cover below you probably was amazing

 

Rock Auto. Looks like they're a little bit pricey for your model year; about $100 a pop for the same brand. If yours aren't leaking or cracked you could get away with a wetsand and a couple coats of 2K clearcoat.

 

“Massage”

 

Oooookkk no one told me building a bumper is so much fun.

 

That’s so freaking awesome looking!!!

 

That looks great Randy !

 

Thanks Chris! I’m beyond happy with how this is coming along so far.

 

Hmmm. Call this constructive criticism, but scratching my head at your design. Lotta work to gain departure angle bobbing and then add half a foot of steel hanging of the bed? I guess protection is protection and Tacoma hangers get hung up first anyway.

How's the Vulcan been working for you? Looking at the Esab Rebel 235 but the price of the Harbor Freight is appealing

 

Installed my newSPC UCAS that I received through SPC’s upgrade program. I still need to get an alignment but no more squeaky bushings! Also purchased a bed mat for $88 bucks from the dealer.

The bumper is butted right up against the rear hangers. It literally can not move forward any further. I cut out 14” of bed, should’ve done 11”. Bumper would have remained in the same place but would line up better with the body. Departure angle can not get any better than this, unless I just didn’t add a rear bumper.

 

Replaced the stock Dunlops (245/75/16) with Grabber AT2’s (265/70).

Got 50k out of the Grandtrek’s - no complaints. Happy with the Grabbers so far.

 

I need to do this soon. Looks awesome

 

Busy day! Wrapped it up with a quick wash of the taco with little man.

 

You can see better here what I’m talking about. That bolt also bolts the rear hangers up. I got so caught up in making my bed the same length as a short bed that I missed this minor detail.

 

Went "off roading"

 

Looks good! Next is 4 link and you can ditch those hangers!

 

To be honest that thought has crossed my mind
