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

Mine stick out a little further than most and more than my old set on my older 4runner so they are a little more inconvenient if I'm wanting to avoid sliding my pant leg on them. My are one off from a shop. I'm sure most on here with sliders from the bigger shops don't stick out as much so it's probably better for them. I still wouldn't call it anything close to a pain in the ass. If I didn't wear dress clothes for work everyday I wouldn't care at all.

edit: My truck isn't tall enough to have to use it as a step, My old 4runner door seal was at my waist, so those sliders i used as a step. I have a 1yo and when he gets bigger, I'm sure i'll be happy I have the step for him though.

 

In a way I find it easier to get out with them since I use them as a step. You get used to having it and sticking up further than a side step.

 

I've got relentless sliders which kick out super far and are lower than alot of these tucked up in. Mine are almost like having a running board and i love it!

 

Not trying to sound like an ass but it doesn't look like the shop fully welded the doublers to the frame on your sliders...If thats the case i would take it somewhere else and have them finish welding them on... But it could also just be the angle of the picture...

 

Nice!
I think I am going to bite the bullet on the 2.0s.
I don't think I need the 2.5s because of the way I drive the truck.
Where did you get the Elka's? Since they are all built to order, it's a 4-6 week leadtime for me

 

No

 

Thanks everyone, sliders are on the list eventually

 

Got started on my half door build today. Was able to retain full functionality of both interior and exterior handles. Will plate the top tomorrow.

Edit: and I’m going to retain the speaker and tweeter and wiring harness too

 

Interesting....keep sharing progress.

 

Absolutely. This is more common on older Toyota crawlers but haven’t seen anyone do this on a second gen yet. Got the pair of doors from a friend for a great deal because I’ve wanted to do this for awhile. By the end of it it’ll be all body finished and painted with the same bed liner as the rest of the truck.

 

Welded on top and 2 sides .no weld on bottom .I assumed it was correct

 

So far so good. It's the 4/64 gb version. It was the best option they had to offer. I'm all android so I can't say if wireless carplay works. You do have to use zlink for Android auto. It's not a pioneer but I can play YouTube and have Google maps going at the same time.

 

I think what you are seeing is a shadow on the side . But yes they are welded on 3 sides but not the bottom for some reason.

 

Interesting project. What’s the reason for this?

 

Finished the wrap! I really like the the metallic in the vinyl the hi-lights the body lines. Got more on the to-do list.

 

Thank you Sir

 

Looks sharp! How much did it cost if you don't mind.

 

Used it to pick these up
