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

Undercover snorkel installed. Going to remove the hardware cloth. I only had a 3" carbide hole saw so I need to open it up just a little more so I can add trim strip to it to really silence the slight movement it experiences.

 

Wash, clay bar and waxed after I got rid of the eyesores...

 

I found out the back half of my exhaust is falling apart

 

On a positive note... that's the less expensive half.

 

he quoted me 185+ tax to cut and replace but i found an open box back half for 240 shipped so i think im going to do that. Only thing im hesitant about is its from extreme terrain and i hear mixed reviews although most bad reviews are their customer service

 

What type of housings are those? Looks great

 

Picked up a used bestop!! Pretty excited

 

Only really notice it when I use both hands lol...I actually like the slight increase in wheel size.

 

Wet sanded both of my headlights, polished, glazed and then sealed.

 

FEDEX came this morning while I was paint the outside of my shop luckily I was just finishing up a wall and cleaning up. New project for the Taco. 2010 4Runner heated, turn signal puddle light outside mirror with color matched caps. The switch, connector and pins for heated mirror will be here next week. Now to go dig up the prior threads for instructions and diagrams. Will go to recycle yard and see if I can find 2010 4Runner door harness to modify and use or just make my own harness. What gauge wire do you guys use in your wiring projects?

 

Put my bed stiffeners in and ordered a BAMF hybrid front bumper! Also ordered a rear tire swing I hope to weld on and make work

 

Repurposed sway bar brackets to mount my traction boards and started sticker bombing the underside of my swingout table

 

Haven’t posted a picture in a while and forgot how to do it. Ordered a @RelentlessFabrication hybrid bumper a couple days ago and it’s already shipped?! Was expecting to get it in 8-10 weeks lol.

 

Used it to haul a playground for the kiddos. Bed extender ftw

 

What products did you use for each step of the process?

 

Finally got around to painting and installing the Mobtown Offroad front recovery bar. Took the entire front end apart just to realize my 1/2" extension and 14/15mm sockets were missing It was too late in the day to grab another one. Back together the truck went.... Finally grabbed the tools needed, now here she is!

 

midland gmrs ghost antenna installed

 

Looks good.

Why not a steel front bumper or hook?
I get that steel front bumpers (came have winch) come with downsides like high cost, worse aerodynamics/mpg, added weight to mess with suspension choice, etc.

but what about an underbody added aftermarket recovery point hook? (I hear the factory ones are only intended for use as tie-downs during new delivery shipment on semi trucks)

I imagine the Mobtown front bar gives a more straight line of sight to the vehicle during recovery, with the higher up hook points to tie a strap around
