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

Last week I installed ADS suspension on all four corners and Deaver U402 stage 1 leafs







New extended stainless brake lines front and rear, full brake flush with DOT4, scuba mod with the line running up behind the left tail light and a small inline fuel filter on top.



Got a full size spare on a 5th F5 and installed my co2 mount on the front rail.



Installed Dodge D-rings on all of the bed mount bolts and a stock D-ring at the top middle drainage hole, which will be the top attachment point for the Mac's Y strap coming for the spare.



Ohh and slapped on some sweet stickers yesterday.

 

Inside of my fog light housing started to peal up. Not sure if the bulb started melting it or if the moisture that was trapped in there finally got under and was aiding in it. Either way I replaced them both with OEM Toyota fog housings. Lets see how long these last.

 

Great choice on the macs custom strap. Also where are your rear bump stops?

also also why is your bed so faded?

 

This is really bitchen.

 

Bed is faded due to a really shitty coating the previous owner sprayed it with. The rear bumps were chopped by the previous owner when they installed airbags. My Archive flip kit and Superbumps should be here tomorrow.

 

Ah makes sense! You’ll love the flip.

 

Installed my bilstein shocks, adjustables up front and 1” block with bilsteins in rear for 3”. Have 265/75/17 with spc upc’s and rides like a caddie, no mods no rubs.

 

Do it man. I've actually had mines on for a year now, can't believe I waited so long to wire them up.

 

I need new stickers,LOL. These have been on for nearly 10 years.

 

did not really do anything other than a much needed wash after the truck has been sitting mostly under a carport for the last month.

 

Put in L-track secure points in the bed awhile ago. Saw another person who did this on this forum. Great to have several different anchor points when needed. Has come in handy. Don't have to go to the corners all the time to secure things now.

 

Flushed the coolant, replaced Rad cap, hoses and serpentine belt. Driver side drain plug was a PITA to hook up a hose

 

My Avid Offroad order arrived after an 11 1/2 week wait. Got the front bumper guard (with TRD logo plate) and rear bumper guard installed, with the bolt-on sliders slated for another day. Unfortunately, by the time they arrived, I had decided to follow my heart and get an ARB front bumper and Mobtown HC rear bumper. These will be up for sale by the end of the year.

 

Truck was due for an oil change. Found the time to change it out today and installed the TRD oil cap.

 

Brand? They look good and mine where replaced under warranty but they are getting cloudy

 

Did you get in eBay or stealership?

I think this is a pretty good channel on YouTube he’s not as big as tacoma beast or TacomaHolic but he’s getting less than ten likes a video idk if it’s because he’s Canadian lol but it’s good quality videos I think you guys n gals should check out!
Sorry if it’s off topic just don’t really now how to navigate threads and I figured it wouldn’t hurt to put it here.

 

Hoses are OEM, cheap insurance to replace them now instead of a blow out later.

I didn’t consider switching over to HPS, a hose is a hose and OEM has done great the last 100k miles. I’m sure HPS is Mor expensive too and may be a little more stiffer; idk lol I’m pleased with the replacement for now.

 

What specific epoxy paint are you using on the frame?
