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

I got lucky and found a new OEM unit with MGM surround on eBay a couple nights ago....eagerly awaiting shipment.

 

If you don’t mind I would like (maybe) too stop on my way back from Wv?

 

Bedliner on the doors and ToyoDecals for the front fenders. Hopefully a tan Softopper and some 3rd gen wheels with 255/85/16’s in the next few weeks!

 

If @HomerTaco is still making them, this is by far my favorite.

Bummer

 

What brand you boys use for your difs

 

Yea its very well thought out. All aluminum to reduce weight.



Here is a pic I took off his social media. I cannot find the one he originally sent me. He knows I like Tacos.

 

Why? Everything I do has a balance between being nice, but functional and I do a cost-benefit analysis. At the end of the day this is a truck I’m going to wheel and hit against things, and I cut a 14” chunk out of my bed. I want everything to look nice but within reason. I would rather spend $15 on spray paint than a couple hundred on powder.

 

Spring detail and avs visor install

 

A good exterior cleaning.

 

beautiful truck man...looks similar to what i want mine to look down the line

what fogs do you have installed? big fan of those

 

Looks like diode dynamic SS3 kit for the 12-15

 

My ProooAuto TRD Pro grill came today. Initial thoughts is it looks of good quality. Box was sturdy and it was wrapped nicely. Letters came in a separate bag. However, no screws came so I can't attached the letters to the grill. Anyone know what size screws I am supposed to use? Here are some initial pictures:





The letters look wonky because they are just resting on the grill at the moment.

 

#8 stainless steel.

 

I bought my pro grille knock off from Toyota Accessories Guy:

Got it back in December I think, so far so good.

 

Spent last week installing my new bed rack and Tepui set up. I had to take it on a trip right away so I tried it out in the Virgin Utah area over the weekend.

 

Plus powder isn’t all that and a bag of chips... here’s mine after 6 months. Oxidized to all hell. Local shop. $300 wasted.

 

That was another thing I didn’t mention. I’ve seen a bunch of shitty powder coat jobs on other peoples trucks. The only place I would trust to do mine is mobtown since my front is coated from them and it’s some stout pc. They’re 4 hours away though, plus of course the cost and wait.

 

I'd take the truck to them and show them that. Maybe they'll make good on it. 6 months is way too soon to be doing that

 

I did. They weren’t having it. Salt on the road, ungaraged. Blah blah. Fuck them. Had it sand blasted and just spray painted it myself. Now I can touch it up myself.
