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

Ugh! So much this!

Training!

Dogs aren't accessories or toys they need training! And smart working dog breeds need more training and often a "job" to do or task etc.

Dogs need consistency and sometimes tough love.

Not enough people put the time in and they just expect their dogs to be well behaved but they spoil them and positively reinforce undesirable behavior which makes it so much worse!

Negative reinforcement doesn't work with dogs they don't associate like that, you have to reinforce the positive behavior and when they're just being well behaved encourage it, then more or less ignore the bad behavior.

People treat them like children, but they're not children they are fully grown animals, and smart as hell, but they do not think like people, they don't understand things like people.

Another thing people don't get is that dogs need to play rough, that's what they do with each other, you got to wrestle with them a bit, don't hurt them but when they're in play mode you can't be afraid to roll around some with them.

You just got to know how to speak dog and not many people do.

Rant I know, sorry, but I just know too many people with badly behaved dogs and even if you tell them why they just don't understand and it irks me because dogs don't get what they need!

 

How can a person train dogs to not shed hair? Asking for a friend... lol.

 

He gifted these to me for TWSS 2 years ago. Still need to install them though.

 

Woke up with more snow on it... Its not sticking around but constant rain/snow mix means I can't do my oil change. Without getting wet and cold that is. Also need to figure out the weird sound on my drivers side that bugged me my whole trip.

 

Moog LCAs
265/70/17 Duratracs
Level 8 MK6 0 offset

Finally got all these installed. I had a Dobinsons suspension put in last fall and was never able to get a proper alignment due to the cam bolts being rusted. The thing rode like a hay wagon and I was disappointed I put the money into it. Well holy balls, after the new parts and and a full alignment it rides like a new truck.

 

Late night wheeling. Took one of the harder lines up waterfall @ box canyon. Had to get tugged over the final bump. And despite my Marlin LCA brace kit I noticed a nice deflection on the PS front LCA spot

 

It looks like you bonked that corner pretty good to bend it like that!

 

Yes it appears so! Haha

 

Hey!

Quit bragging!

 

Hell yeah you do! I installed a set about 8 years ago on an older car before the guy's horn business was a thing, it was one of the first things I did to the Tacoma.

They sound great and get peoples attention without being actual train horn rude.

 

Not today but over the last couple days. started a flatbed build.

 

Whatcha gonna do with your bed?

 

Probably sell it. The drivers side fender needs to be replaced. I have a whole other set of fenders for it. Just need to be painted. You interested?

 

Very nice.

 

Thanks man. Go Vikes!

 

It's crazy, isn't it? I work for a steel fabricator, and we can't guarantee pricing for more than a day or two right now.

 

Yeah. It is nuts what material is costing right now. I've been sitting on this material for about a year now since I have been dragging on getting this going. Running your own shop while also holding down a full time gig tends to make personal projects reside on the back burner. Since I have had interest from a few others on a build like this, it is time to work it out and make it happen.

 

The lumber issue is crushing my spirit right now. I want to make a composter and it will need a lumber frame, and even that will be ridiculously priced for the few pieces I need.

 

Ya i'm trying to expand our backyard deck and that aint happening right now. So weird the previous owners put a deck right in the middle of our backyard hillside. You'd think they'd at least extend it one way or the other towards a neighbor.

 

SOoooo I didn't really know much when I started this but I got a bug in my butt to learn how to do something so I decided to start modding my 07 Tacoma. Its no where near done and I have some things I still need to black out, (side steps, rear bumper, rims and exhaust tip). I Still want to add bed and rock lights and change out that antenna but so far I've gutted out the old wiring from an alarm install and such so that took a bit but here it is so far. Also when i started it was completely OEM
