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

I saw this one up for sale here in TX. Glad it went to someone on TW and not just anyone.

 

Yeah man I worked with the owner on getting it. It was a process because he traded it into the dealership but he was a really cool guy he knew how much I wanted the truck and jumped through all the hoops to make sure I got it. Lotta respect for him on that not everyone goes out of their way to help a stranger

 

Still figuring out how to get a couple of stripped torx bolts out from the bed rail.... so spent the day with a dremmel and a flat head screw driver. Still no luck! I’ve tried everything I can find online - bashing with a hammer, WD40, cutting a ridge for a flathead screwdriver, drill extractor. These things are super tight!!!

 

Kinda hot outside so I'm in the air conditioning modding my center console for my CB install.

 

Got my badges painted, finally. I used Rustoleum aerosol truck bed coating, and Rustoleum satin clear to seal them. Happy with the texture and results.
Took some time deep cleaning my bed now that it won’t be exposed to the elements any more. This topper is great, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the gull wing sides and back, but I love them. Can’t wait to construct my bed platform.

 

Made a couple square holes in the bottom of the center console and carpet piece.

 

I know what you’re doing
One of my favorite mods on my truck.

 

I'll give you one guess.

 

Test fit and I got to make the hole towards the front bigger.

 

Changed the spark plugs. Went with fancy ones. Hopefully they’ll do alright. Cleaned MAF and throttle body.

 

Put the Archive Garage ubolt flip kit with AG bumps on. Like them so far and will help with clearance.

 

Then washed her.

 

Had a tailgate on the beach

 

Mounted my 100w Renogy panel on top of the Leer canopy. Wiring is temp to the C-Tek charger that’s under the passenger seat which is charging my AGM aux battery. Ready for a camping trip next week.

 

Technically was friday not today, but I did a lump sum payoff to settle the loan. I am now the outright owner of the truck

 

Cool stuff. Thinking about getting this 100W and drilling a hole through my camper shell and wiring it to a 12V in the cubby hole. Then use that battery to power a 12v/USB in the bed...idk I'm sure someone has done it

 

A good cleaning before the next storm...

 

Thanks! I bought the suspension from eBay. It was new in original box, I think I paid $1,200. He only had the one I bought.

 

That kitchen box reminds me of one from boy Scouts back in the late 70's. Nice.

 

CB install? Secret stash for block? The mystery is killing me.
