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

First, thank you. Second, yup. Third, it's garaged 90% of the time, plus I live in a nice area. If they get stolen, would be quite a bummer.

 

Lol measure.... probably should have done that

All I did was take 1" painters tape and lined it up with the body lines of the fog lights continued that line all the way around the fenders. Then I took another piece of tape and matched the outer body lines of that lower cowel thingy-ma-jig (the official name of it lol) and then cut it with my dremel on low speed using a rotary saw blade. Then repeated that same process on the other side.

 

This whole build I've been like...

 

Ok that made me chuckle pretty good.

 

Ah, I've been thinking about adding a sub for awhile now lol

 

I'm getting close to that. Will probably miss it.

 

I guess one pro of being on lockdown this wk is time to work on the truck. Cut the exhaust just pass the rear axle which really cleaned up the back, re-dipped the grille surround after 5 yrs (which has aged pretty well!), and added some ditch lights with amber Baja S2s

 

Best "mod" I've done yet. Swapped out the 265/65/17 HT grabbers for some 265/70/17 Goodyear Ultraterrain. I almost fainted when I saw them, really transformed the look of my truck. Next stop, rims. Maybe a 2 inch lift eventually, but will probably do my clutch first.

Before:


After:

 

Seat spacers installed today - noticeable difference just in a short trip around town but I'll have a 3+ hour drive Friday and some light off roading all weekend to check it out. Then a 5 hour drive to Durango next week so they will get tested!

Also found out I will likely be driving a 30 hour round trip for work to Boise area and back. Going to take my personal truck so I can break up the drive with some side trips along the way so those spacers will be awesome if they work out. Probably hit the sawtooths and high unitas along the way for some short backpacking trips.

 

I feel like they could have done a better job integrating it a more subtle way. But what do I know.

Subs are bangin. Highly reccomend.

 

I just did this yesterday. I just stacked some extra thick grade 8 washers. But i'm loving the new angle so far. I've got about 12 hrs of driving tomorrow. So i'l have a better idea of how I feel about the angle. The washers are nice because I can really customize the angle. I've got a 5 stack at a little under 1".

 

Yeah I'm thinking I'll add washers if I need them but so far so good with the spacers

 

That looks great. How's driving with the exhaust cut like that? I think about doing mine but I have two lil kids in the back and don't want to give them a bad experience.

 

Those are nice looking tires. I just added the Wranglers to my shopping list of tires. Did you get the SL rated?

 

After a few months of dust. I finally gave her a wash.

 

is that a real carbon hood or just wrapped?
Looks really good!

 

Heads up
