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

side note: this feels like a solid start to a friday thread

 

I cant guarantee it will . Carpeted plywood will lay on top using the wheel wells, and the pvc frame as support. Ill cut the plywood in panels so I can lift to access storage underneath. Ill post pics once I finish it. If it works it'll be epic. If not it'll be hilarious. Win win.

 

No it's the right way. Have you ever seen tape, wrapping paper, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or anything else manufactured on a roll designed to tear off in the under over orientation?

 

Hahaha I would be careful if I were you...if I did that to my wife eventually she would sneak in at an inopportune moment and take all the paper out of the room. The end result might be the same though because...it would be endless and I would be passionate...Just sayin’...I guess I’d rather have it come off the roll the wrong way than have it come of the roll the wrong way.

 

You damn straight it is! Your ass still wipes the same I'm guessing.

 

Installed new front bearing /hub assemblies. That eliminated the roaring noise I had found after getting the new and much quieter 35" ridge grapplers. Greased front balljoints, outer tie rods, and driveshaft u-joints.
Also found an 8' roll of rubber seal on ebay to fill the gap between the Demello front bumper and the grille & headlamps since the 1" body lift install. Much cleaner looking now!

Finally installed the winch I purchased last black Friday and welded on some SOS Concepts bumper stud reinforcement plates. All in all looks pretty good and should be a lot more solid. It did increase the gap around the top edge and sides of the bumper where it meets the body.
I cut a section out of the middle of the headlight/grill brace removing the angled bracket in order to make the with fit without having to relocate the control pack and made a couple of support braces to keep it solid.

 

Does anyone know if you can stack 2 of the same size aal on top of each other in a leaf pack?

 

Got the lift, 4-6 in the front, with 4 in Maxtrac lift spindles and 5100 Billy’s set at 2 in. Only threw 2 inch blocks on the back, so might get the Dakar leaf springs eventually. 35 in Pro Comp tires on my XD FMJ wheels (no rubbing wtfff). I only drove it home, but so far she rides so good! She completes me (don’t tell wifey I said that)

 

Correct you do not have to use those uca. I just reused mines with no issues.

 

Helped my daughter move today.

Yes, the truck is very dirty.

 

Installed a Hooke Road Console Safe. Bolts right in. Seems good enough to deter vandals, and keep a handgun in. Bolts to the factory bolts in the center console, but I had to buy longer bolts.

 

Could you send me a link to where you bought the cover with the us flag for the back gate, thanks

 

Yup, I have the same set up

 

Had to post this. My other ride

 

how are you guys keeping the cocoon mounted? mine keeps coming off. I even used industrial strength Velcro.

 

I used Gorilla heavy duty mounting tape. Cleaned both surfaces really well, laid down several strips of the tape, then mounted the Cocoon and sat 2 or 3 bricks on top of it. left it that way for about a week before reinstalling into the center console. I did that about 6 months ago and it survived a bunch of 90 degree plus days and is still holding on strong.
