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

Cleaned out my garage and finally made a quick shelf for cleaning products.

 

What did you use to paint the gauge trim rings?

 

If that’s for both, it’s sounds about right.

 

This stuff.

 

I bought this:

$20 SEM Paints SEM15243 Satin Black Color Coat Aerosol 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)

Should be here tomorrow.

I want to paint the gauge trim rings, the chrome ring around the shifter and chrome piece under the shift knob.

 

Got tried of the velcro snorkel attachment and went ahead and rivitd it to the pillar.

Did not take that long should have done it this way the 1st time.

Sealed it up with some black rtv

 

except I have to take off the old one. Hahahah

 

The one from Meso goes right over the stock one... you have a different emblem on yours?! PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Oh shit didn’t know that!

 

Yeah man! It goes right over the stock one. It's basically a cap sort of speak. It has 3M adhesive on the back, to hold better.

 

cool!!

 

Installed the 4XI 20.5" bed rack.

 

So it wasn't what I did to my Tacoma, exactly. But rather what I did to my camper top.

I can either use the camper top all the time and park in the garage, or have the top off, sitting on the garage floor, and park in the driveway. Dislike that option.

So I made a hanger for it. I used two 2x4s (with blocks screwed on where the top would sit on the sides of the bed, to accommodate the "lip" on the camper top), eye bolts with 1" washers, cam buckle straps, and a package of brackets meant to hang a garage door on the ceiling. Total cost was about $60.

Right now it's hanging an inch or so off the floor just to double check that bolts are stable before I hoist it to the ceiling. It does require me to back into the garage to park, but that's way better than having to scrape the windows this winter.

 

I had a Coastal Offroad bumper prior to this and I have always loved the ARBs...being that I'm Australian doesn't help either

 

Ram mount for the phone.

 

How’s the vibration now?

 

Been eyeing some method standards and K02’s for a minute too

 

Socal setup

 

I paid $80 for my bumper powdercoated... However, The guy just had gotten an oven big enough and it was his first time doing something this big so i think i got a bit of a deal but yours quote seems very high .

 

I like your style. Awesome.

I've used a lot of different flux core welders over the decades, max heat and as big of puddle as you can keep control of, you can build anything with a buzz box and it'll be ultra strong (and ugly as far as weld porn goes). Skyscrapers are built with flux core.
