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

That's actually a 3rd gen and not mine but looking at the picture you're definitely right. Looks a lil droopy lol.

This one is mine

and I bought another boat tonight, lmao. The boat has a blown engine and I bought the replacement engine this morning.

 

Lame

 

Yeah sorry, I was a little excited hahahaha!

 

Real 35s


Next to the old 285s

 

New tails

 

Good user experience with it? I've been eyeing it lately but I have so many bottles of wax I need to get through first before I buy another.

 

Good find. I might have to buy new and put the bushings in.

 

Installed a much needed headlight upgrade.

 

Doing mine tomorrow along with new grill.

 

Sweet! I plan on eventually doing a raptor grill on mine.

Harbor freight jack stands recall

I’m the same way...lol...like sticking with Meguiars or Chemical Guys. So far I’m extremely happy and impressed with the Hybrid Wax. The picture don’t do it’s justice, it’s extremely glossy and smoooooth!

 

Cooking up some ideas....

 

Obligatory not today, but recently added the Mobtown recovery bar (https://mobtownoffroad.com/product/toyota-tacoma-front-recovery-bar/)


Looks great really recommend it to anyone who is considering a front receiver. It’s high off the ground and looks stock to most non-Tacoma owners in my opinion. Reached out to mobtown afterwards about adding a surf rack and they were able to help me out immediately by welding an aluminum 2” bar to the rack. Super great set up Mobtown has, really recommended them. Customer service was great and Joe was really friendly.

 

I am 77 soon to be 78. Been involved in Modifying cars all my life. Built owned and crewed on Race Car. My hearing is shot. Monday got hearing aids, holy crap this is a noisy world. I could never understand how come all the complaint of noisy Gen 2 trucks. I Believe, I alway though my 2010 Sport double cab was quiet, not. It's not squeaks and rattles just road and wind noise, will be putty some sound deadening in doors, floor, back panel, maybe roof. The first couple of day it drove me crazy now I guess my senses/brain have adjusted and it's not as annoying. The seat belt and key in ignition switch gotta go. It's is nice to hear thing I haven't for years. Have app on iPhone to adjust thing Audiologist can make adjustment from he office computer online and they have Bluetooth. So now I have projects for the Taco. Can't wear them at the Sprint Car races when they start or when I go to Indy in August if they let us go.

 

Funny to me because my last car was a civic with a roof rack and that thing made soooo much wind noise and I just dealt with it for 10 years. The Tacoma sounds quiet to me! I will never be adding any mods to my truck that add wind noise - I must have PTSD from the damn civic roof rack.

 

I feel ya on the civic roof rack. That’s my DD and I drive a little on the freeway each day, so much wind noise from the civic.

 

always wondered does it pay to rebuild outboards today or part out,used to boat on the Hudson River, both inboards and outboards..different money pit for sure...nice truck BTW
