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

I used rustoleum brand flat black with paint and primer. I prepped by cleaning with alcohol pads

 

Looks like farm-boy ingenuity if you ask me! Love it!

 

Gotcha.

What did you use to paint it all then?

EDIT: Nevermind. Just saw your response in the other post of yours.

 

Changed the fluids in the rear and front diffs and transfer case to Red Line. Swapped out the front diff drain plug to the Lexus bolt head plug. I’ve heard a lot of people have had issues removing the front diff drain plug, I guess I got lucky, had no issues at all, I first put the 10mm hex socket on the plug gave it a couple of taps with a ball peen and then used my breaker bar, came off with little effort. Also checked both front CV axles. I can’t believe how much slop is on the driver side, compared to the passenger side...talk about a design flaw!

 

Well, it looked and acted like ABS plastic to me, so I just sanded it with 600, wiped it with acetone, and sprayed it with Rust-Oleum satin black rattle-can. It is only a month old, so YMMV...

 

Changed over to full synthetic.
I think the Tacoma will appreciate it.

 

I've used it to redo the interior on a truck I used to own. You have to make sure the parts are 110% clean, and follow the instructions, don't try to rush the project.

 

Finally got a chance to install the traction board mounts I made the other week. Not thrilled with them being on the front wall of the bed, but we'll see how it works out. Also install some corner gussets I bought from another member here. They didn't fit under the lip of my cap in the "right side up" orientation, but barely did fitting them upside down. The should still work fine as is.

 

The best boat is the one your friend owns. I got enough money pit hobbies besides this truck already...

 

Installed the winch yesterday and took it for drive!

 

Hey man how do you carry the kayaks on top of the roof? Just bought a 10 footer and looking for options

 

I redid the hitch today on the bumper I’m building. I didn’t like how far it protruded. Being on the bottom would normally be a hang up point but being bobbed I’m not concerned.

I carry my kayak on the roof. I have a Thule Hullavator. It’s awesome but, now I am carrying 3 additional kayaks since the family have taken a interest so I may go to a trailer to free up roof and bed.

 

I'm thinking about the same spot for mine (when I get some).

 

I would have thought about putting them on the cap rack I built, but I installed a rtt a little while back. Inside the bed with the cap installed, that front "wall" was really the only spot that made sense.

 

I'm drooling.

I got my BAMF on order about a week ago. So much wait. Gonna be so worth it though. What winch are you running?

 

I like the gas water heater with the extinguisher sitting next to it.

 

Got the cockpit fully reassembled after several projects including painting trim, anytime front/rear camera install, and airbag switch install. Man I missed it!

 

Took of my kc bar and lightforce 240’s to paint the bar, but kind of liking the cleaner look. Debating getting a color matched grille surround and a hidden light bar and saving the 240’s for an aftermarket bumper.

 

Looks like a police car
