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

Been working on painting my stock skid plate

The perfectionist in me kept reminding me that this thing is gonna get beat up so stop worrying about it being flawless.

 

Ok will do cause I think this is the route I’m gonna go too

 

Oh, what to do, what to do, when freight companies are working during a tropical storm but the internet isn’t...

Spent about 3 hours installing a @DECKEDUSA drawer system. Makes me glad to have a carport.

 

Drove it to work this morning after having a week off

 

next time did that not too long ago would be another additional 4 hrs. last time i did all that took morning til night.

 

JD fab slide rack and heimed steering installed over the weekend.

 

For myself I noticed the shutdown image only worked if the truck was on and the radio is turned off. If shutting the truck itself off the image would never display.

My startup/shutdown image

 

Yeah, not gonna lie, this got me to look at mines to check for cracks. I get this snap or crack sound when I articulate and thought maybe this was the culprit.
How are you planning to address the crack? Cut out and weld a new piece? Minimum drill the end of the crack to prevent spreading.

 

That's what I was doing, just shutting the truck off. Thank you, I'll check when I go out to the truck again.

 

It seems silly. I assumed the shutdown image would come on when the radio powers down when shutting down the truck but it doesn't seem to do it that way for me.

I did have a different shutdown image previously and was confused until I figured out when it would pop up.

 

Probably for now just drill crack holes but long term I’m planning on making a custom suppers out of tube.

 

Got a new phone mount and installed a USB port on the driver’s side to avoid having the cable go across the steering wheel. Nice to not have my phone fall off anymore.

 

Moved my tire 2" to the left.
Put my 1st good scrap on one of my skids.

 

Nuff said.

 

I know. I had to put on long pants and a jacket this weekend in San Diego!

But seriously, I grew up in Wisconsin...I never want to see snow again.

 

Color-matched the grille on my 2010.

 

Started the lift, and needle bearing removal, got front end done, sway bar moved, carrier bearing dropped, one side of rear done, time for bed...ill finish tomorrow

 

I tackled the kazoo noise this weekend. I placed some cheap weather stripping along the door frames and haven't heard a peep since, even with the heavy winds we had this past weekend.

 

this is my plan as well. i'm thinking of going with Blaze Orange.

 

I just did the TSB weather stripping replacement. Super easy and not very expensive if your solution doesn't last.
