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

Why the disappointment?

 

Got my new winch plate and front hitch mounted. Now I need to plump my mile marker 12k hydraulic winch up.

 

I had a KB Voodoo bed rack with the shit powdercoating.

 

Finally got her broken in..

 

Supposedly they worked all that out. Supposedly. I bought my tailgate cap second hand, rust reformed, primered and bedcoated it, so I wouldn't know.

 

Are ball joint replacement DIY project OR do you recommend getting professional help

 

We'll see how mine hold up. I got them because the factory plastic ones move around and the rails for my soft topper would slide around when tightening them down.

 

Yea, there's not much lateral reinforcement for the plastic caps since they just snap in. Good luck with those!

 

Is this a "hidden winch mount" that sits under the stock bumper or does this tie in with an aftermarket metal bumper some how?

 

Original battery crapped out. 7.5 years is a pretty good run so I can’t complain. Don’t run much extra except a powered sub and amp, so I went with an Interstate.


also threw in these new DRLs - brighter and ‘slightly’ different color. Even look cool when off.

 

I still see enough people complaining about their customer service for me to avoid them.

 

I should have did this years ago

I have the tray coming as well should be a nice little addition keep things organized

 

Nope this is my bumper. Eventually I'll add some tubing for more protection. When I plated my frame I removed the stock frame bolts that any bumper would bolt to so I welded on a new cross member an am building off that.

 

I’d say they’re a DIY project if you have all the tools. You’ll need a torque wrench that will go to 150 ft-lb & 32mm socket & grease gun with proper grease. Then you need to get it aligned.

 

Don't forget the glovebox!

 

Good call this looks handy

Given they are aluminum it’s not like they are going to rust anyway. I had the steel ones on my old truck years ago.

 

That's pretty sick, the other angle you had in the pics it looks great!

 

My old 88 4runner had a small trap door under the rear passenger seat that went directly over the gas tank. Had no idea about iit after having the thing in my family for over 30 years. Discovered it when I had to replace a cracked fuel line just to sell it. Sometimes you think wow, they have thought of everything! Then sometimes they make things that are the most common to replace over and over a royal pain access.
