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

@diabetiktaco seriously Eric, I am unbelievably jealous of those pictures. I miss seeing and talking to you sir. Hope everything is well.

 

by the way, what is the range on something like that?

 

Thanks man same here. All is good!

I think it's like half a mile or so. Either way it's a lot of fun and makes every trip a little cooler haha

 

Whats the learning curve like? I am looking into something like this for my fairly mature 12 year old daughter.

 

I took everything I know about flying a helicopter in GTAV and used it here. I hit one bush, one car, nearly chopped my daughter's finger off, and almost killed my dog. After that, I'd consider myself an expert. In all seriousness, an hour or so and you'd be good.

 

Canadian kms. Pretty sure the trucks are similar minus the odo/speedo
This things been a tank

 

Installed daystar cradles under my airbags, previous owner used hockey pucks to act as the spacer to accommodate the lift kit. Also created a way to put on/take off my topper without others help VIA a hoist and a lot of pulleys.

 

Got this knob and boot in.

 

It looks good with the boot. Without it, it just looks funny. I'll stop posting the picture of a husky with his body shaved except his head.

 

Hahaha

 

Cleaned my MAF and dropped my blower motor, thinking maybe it was needing some maintenance as it was making a light clattering sound unless I turned the fan on High. It turned out to be the last bits of a squirrel nest I thought I'd gotten all of a few weeks back... Over the last few years, dealing with them trying to nest in all my trees and attic, I've really grown to hate those things...

 

Here are the best 2 IMHO:

A search on these forums for "Fog Light Anytime" brought up a few more too.
There are several ways to do the mod, heck I might even come up with another way now that I look at the wiring diagrams more.

 

Used a sheet of ABS to make myself a tailgate panel. No more spilling of beer and dealing with an uneven cook top.

 

Really loving that. Where'd you get the supplies to do that?

 

And what thickness did ya go with

 

Great job, looks awesome. I'm in for doing this ASAP as well. Don't feel like spending $200 on the aftermarket ones I see.

 

I appreciate it. Very easy project and overall I like it better than most of the other tailgate panels because it’s more convenient. Can use it to prep food, don’t have to worry about powdercoat, very durable etc... Simply remove your old panel and trace it onto the new sheet. I used 1/4” as shown in the link below. The only adjustment I had to make once tracing and test fitting was trimming more off the bottom where it comes in contact with the bottom of the bed.

I used the following:

Tried to get into the holiday spirit

 

Finally doing small mods since I finished paying her off. Cali Raised Fogs
