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

pick these up yesterday.

 

Redid the layout of the roof rack. I still need to mount the Pelican Vault case and slide the ARB awning bracket up one slot.

I didn't think I'd like the recovery boards mounted horizontally but it makes a lot of sense.
The last pic was how I thought I'd want it.

 

Well I did the NVX myself, plus its a 3 layer construction. (butyl rubber, aluminum, closed cell foam) Dynamat is only available in 2 layer. And price per square foot is $3.49 psf for 3 layer NVX, vs Dynamat which is about $4.50 psf for only 2 layer construction. And I'm pretty sure the NVX is 1lb psf because the 20sf box (SDRF20) weighs 20 pounds

 

The ball joints now have zerk fittings, but they did change the design on the control arms. I have the old style with the 2 piece bushings and arms are tubular style all the way to the ball joint. Mine are bad due to rotted out bushings, blown ball joints (fourth set in 60k miles but they are non-zerk), and one of the mounting points on the driver side has a hairline fracture. I called SPC and ordered their new style with the one piece bushings, zerked ball joints, and the arms start to flatten towards the ball joint. Ordered directly through them for $629 and getting at $429 credit once I mail in my old ones, per their "trade up" (guess you could call it that) policy.

 

lol you guys with all your fancy mounting

i just had drilled a hole through a blank and glued it into there. you can see it here in this pic in the blank spot.



also installed new tails last night

 

Check Lagrange Toyota. Lagrange, GA. I’ve had good luck with them. $35 for free shipping I think.

 

Black Wheels Matter.

 

Did a lot. Washed and clay the taco and changed out a u-joint. That u-joint has been popping since I brought it home a month and a half ago. Glad I changed it out. It's a night and day difference. Didn't realize the vibration was as bad as it was when shifting gears. Now that the vehicle has been clay barred I'm debating compounding and waxing the paint. It does look a bit tired.

 

Nice job.

 

good point. All about survival when Murphy strikes.

 

Just doin stubby truck things. Picked up steel for a front bumper and to build a stand for my tube bender. Will be getting started on the bumper next week.

 

Undercarriage detail for two hours which consists of me on my back on the creeper with the hose, scrub brush and rag. Then did a quick exterior wash and felt like showing some pride so I slapped on this flag decal I had forever.

​

 

Changed the oil and showed my son how.

Gonna load it up for our weekend at Lost River tomorrow

also is there a specific thread for TW Express or how does that work. Lol

 

I have a pelican case also to mount on my Prinsu I believe it’s a V800. The price was $99, but it has increased to $219 as of today. I’ve been afraid to mount it because I think some crackhead is gonna think there is a gun in it and destroy it and maybe my rack. Crime has been on the rise. What do you think? I have my Maxtrax mounted up there, locked. But I don’t think a crackhead would know what they are.

Anyone have their case destroyed by thieves?

 

Did this recently. Sold my SCS Gold Ray-10’s and Cooper STT Pro’s for......
Black Chrome Advan Racing RGD-2’s , Kenda Klevers, and finally installed my Wilwood BBK.

 

I thought you were getting the HF bender? I guess I misunderstood. BTW where was your red flag on the ond of your load there young man?

 

No, I even told you a yesterday which one I bought lol I still have to add a bracket and hydraulic ram to it to convert it from a manual bender. And my trip home is quite literally 2 miles on backroads. I got very lucky where this supplier is.

 

Those are hott af ​
