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

Guys WHICH 303 product are you using on the topper? I'm installing one brand new this weekend and I'd like to get in front of it. I work near a quarry and some days the wind puts a layer of dust on everything. Really want to 'seal' this from that if possible.

There's the 303 Aerospace which isn't mentioned for fabrics, and the theres the 303 Fabric guard, recommended by Sunbrella...

 

Yup. I've been a hiker/backpacker/mountain biker for 10+ years and have learned expect trash wherever there is motorized access. A lot of places in CO it's to the point where there's so much broken glass you cant setup a tent. Hikers trash things too we just can't pack in coolers full of stuff to leave behind so I don't think there's necessarily a higher % of shitty wheelers vs. everyone else, just that the shitty ones can really ruin a spot quickly but it takes a lot more shitty hikers to trash someplace.

 

Got rid of that stupid fuckin useless ass can holder. Took about a minute to line up and mark...another minute with a dremel and bam....a place to actually put a CUP.

By the way, these are what I ordered.

$18 OUNONA Cup Holder Insert 2pcs for RV Boat Car Couch Golf Cart, Recliner-Handles Replacement Cup Holder Insert, Plastic Universal Drop for Pontoon Table Sofa (Bottom: 3.34", Top: 4.17", Height: 2.75")

Not sure about the color...might have to change that, but function now, form later.

 

Just got my hella horns installed. I was hoping to be louder but I can always install more later

 

The hardware that holds the faceplates on is going to rust. #firsthandexperience

 

Yup. Had dirty boots my whole life, from backpacking, mountain biking, moto riding, hiking, climbing, hunting, backcountry skiing, kayaking, wheeling, etc etc. and have found there's no end to the trash people leave in our country's beautiful open spaces, but there's just no excuse for it.

 

And then those same people who throw their shit everywhere bitch up a storm about places being closed off.

 

Same.

And there always will be. The sad truth is that there is simply a percentage of humanity that can't see beyond there own personal experience in the moment, and literally can't give a shit about the consequences on others. It's up to us clean up after them, and hopefully impact at least a couple others along the way - children, friends - to do the same.

If you're of a certain age, you may recall a TV Ad, I wanna say late 70's? Of a native american on horseback looking at litter strewn in streams etc, with a tear in his eye. Good ad, but it made it seem like maybe impact was on some obscure invisible entity, instead of on all of us.

 

It's funny too what happens when you start picking up trash and random people see you, even just around the neighborhood. Sometimes they give you kudos or help out for a minute and I like to think it plants the seed and they'll clean someplace up eventually too.

 

Well butt dyno says maybe. I could probably get more out of it if I had it more specifically tuned. I might dive into that down the road. There is a lot more throttle response, but to be fair, my last muffler was rusted to the point that it was free spinning on the pipe, so I had next to no back pressure.

I guess I should have waited on the mAF cal for a few days to notice a bigger differen e. But with the new Y Pipe, Catback, and MAF all at once, well there is a lot more power and throttle response. Lol

 

What did you do to fix?

 

Replace with new better hardware. I had to do the same with my pair I had on my Subaru

 

Just swapped it out for stainless steel nuts/bolts/nylocks I grabbed from Ace Hardware.

 

Had 5100's installed all the way around. Ride so much better then original shocks with 170,000km on them. They were due for a change.

 

Useless?! I don’t know if you know this, but beer comes in cans!

 

LOL. Dammit....shoulda left it alone. That's ok, I'll just start buying 40s

 

I hope you at least picked up your hulls.

 

Yea, we need a picture.

 

Super tones are louder

 

Damn id like a little more power forsure
