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

I've been putting in 10-14 hours a day for weeks. It hasn't been going well lately - but I never quit.

Today was a fantastic day!

First I finally finished my trucks subwoofer box port. Stupid amount of hours in it. The bigger the port hole diameter/surface area the better. Bigger ports in small boxes require impossible port lengths. I screwed around with the math of it in the back of my head for a couple of weeks and it's got the largest surface area port possible considering the physical size of the box. It's (hopefully) tuned to 28 Hz but I'll check it once it's installed. 2 10"'s. Bondo dust.

I can't see it in the picture, but it's got a really nice rolled edge to the port. The port noise should be non-existant.

I towed this boat with my Tacoma to Mission Bay San Diego today. I love this truck!

This boat (above) kicked the butt of a well known marine shop here in San Diego to the point that they lied to the customer because they couldn't figure out its problem, kicked my business partners butt and my butt for about 3 weeks, and I, me, FINALLY kicked the boats butt as of today. Ran flawlessly and finally didn't overheat. Fast little boat!

My business partner towed this one for us and I kicked this boats butt too. It wouldn't go over 25 mph before and I got it to 44 mph.

Lastly........

Truck: $125,000
Boat: $200,000
Watching completely clueless rich kids: priceless.
Mind you they towed this beast down the freeway and used only 1 lane but their backing up skills are so pathetic they're taking up 3 lanes of the ramp. I'm fairly certain they couldn't figure out how to detach the boat from the trailer so they stopped in the middle of the ramp to check it out.

 

Dang that is a clean box! Can't wait to see it all installed.

That last pic is absolutely priceless.

 

Got the kids out and went to Los Padres National Forest today. Came from the east and drove FS roads all the way west to the coast.

I'm strapped to a tree via rear bumper

 

Fuckkk I want blue wheels now

 

Nice rescue!!

 

Rad

 

I’ve been wanting to powder coat my scs wheels, they’re pretty scratched.

 

Totally worth it. I havent had or seen the rigids but @crashnburn80 does some amazing test and providing hard data. Opinions are one thing but data will always be constant. Check out the fog light thread for lots of info.

Sport headlights.

 

They seem to have a really good bite and I will see how it goes but overall I am pleased with the outcome so far.

 

I really like their stealth blue. It really pops in the sun but can look dark gray/black in some lighting. I also like standing out in a crowd.

 

Done, nice truck! I think I've seen you driving around town. I live over in Concord.

 

Had some fun corners on it that I may have "lost control on"

 

Ya haha, I was there when he tested them. That was before the diode dynmics came out

 

Well if you were there for the rest and we're convinced to get the rigids then I'm sure you will appreciate the DD SS3 even more. I think you decision has been made, buy the SS3 and sell your other ones lol.

 

Might have too. I need a better front skid and to get my hilift jack and mounts made first.

 

Love the look, which coating did you use?

 

Always wanted one do I did it this weekend. Put together my coastal offroad high clearance rear bumper.

 

Fuck man, that's not a driveway...that's a road that happens to lead to his house. Wish I was that far away from.........everyone lol.
