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

Installed a meso customs molle rack today...

 

Started to paint my US Off-road winch bumper. I know it’s not official without pictures

did a few coats of acid etch primer all over after sanding the super light surface rust off from shipping.

I will be raptor lining the show face of it for protection and the rest will be brush on rustoleum gloss black...because that’s what I have and it will do. Hopefully will mount it this weekend sans winch and get a winch next month. Mainly want to get it mounted so I have solid front recovery points.

 

Are your leather seats aftermarket? Who did you go with?

 

no they are factory from what I was told.... I’m the second owner of my 07

 

Oh hello sir. I've done dirty things to that truck

 

Hopefully not too bad…

 

Oh I pumped the brakes if you know what I mean lol, I think the only thing I helped with on that is the big brake install.

 

Nice truck but.. I especially love the backdrop. Vernal is my go to primo prairie dog hunting site. Nothing like sitting in a hay field taking 2-300yd shots at the little critters while pronghorn antelope are grazing behind you.

 

Not today, but installed some Husky mud flaps.

Got tired of the stock ones hitting the ground every two minutes, but still wanted to keep some sort of mudflap to keep rocks flung up by the tires at bay.

The Husky ones were inexpensive, flexible rubber, and shorter than stock, so they hit all the marks. I'm very happy with them so far.

 

I have Husky. They are more plastic-y than rubber-y than I would have preferred. But they aren't too bad on price and they have worked really well so far. Don't regret the purchase.

 

Installed new X2-Power heavy duty battery, along with HKB voltage booster to keep it nice and topped off (which finally showed up from AUS 2 months after ordering) and replaced my air and cabin filters since the smoke hell has receded. Gonna need a different battery tie down at some point but for now it's fine.

 

Yes, I’ve done both

 

How do you like your Headlamps.....Spyders?

 

Nice! I've seen those 3rd mirrors on Amazon for a decent price and been thinking about the swap. How hard was it? Did you follow a write up? Do you need to make a wiring harness? Anyways, looks great

 

If anyone was wondering about Toyotas 30k spark plug change interval - the factory ones on my (new to me) 4.0 just went 100k without issue. I honestly don't notice a difference with the new plugs in, maybe my MPGs will. The gaps are way out of spec but don't look too bad. I cleaned the throttle body and replaced the PCV while I was there. Old PCV was fine but figured it's next to the plugs anyhow. Throttle body was dirty - I had been getting a light intermittent steering wheel vibration at idle so I'll see if that solved it.

 

Installed MESO map lights! Dome lights coming soon.

 

those are the mud flaps I need. Husky brand, Im guessing the same makers of the knock off weather tec floor mats?


I think I see them on Amazon but there appears to be a front and a rear style. Got a link to what you bought?

 

Lol, funny timing. My parents just asked to use my truck to move tomorrow!

 

Yeah, my friend asked, but there was miscommunication on the day he needed it (and my phone was dead most of that day) so they used his Prius. It’s moments like this where I’m just like take my truck!

 

Ive been wheeling hard with my battery tied down like that. just make sure its tight and you wont have any issues with it like that.
