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

Kicker component speakers for the front doors. About $130 plus tax. The Kicker component speaker set has the exact same tweeter as the "Subaru tweeter upgrade" that's all over TW and raved about and the set is about $20 more than the Subaru upgrade and it allows you to throw away the stock front mid range drivers and tweeters. I highly recommend that you do not install 2 way or 3 way speakers in your front doors, use component sets only up front.

 

I wish I understood this type of music storage, I'm still lugging around 30 pounds of CD's hahahaha.

 

Lol, I look at both and am like... physical media storage? So '00.

 

No matching spare. If I ever have to use it I hope it's just to get it to safety. Was thinking about a nice offset like yours but these were hard to track down so I took what I could get. Level 8 got bought by another company and the MK6 wheels aren't in production right now. Thankfully a nearby Discount Tire had a stockpile.

 

i did mine as well. Mine was not chrome but faded black.

 

That was my only question.. thanks for clarifying.. Looks like you will be having some fun!

 

i did this. I used a step up bit and it worked good. No damage. Just go slow or it will bind up.

 

Nice bit of work! I am going to be doing my cab bushings, and am debating inverting them or adding 1/2" uhmw spacers. I bought a length of 2.25" and 1.75" uhmw rod to make 1/2" spacers. In your opinion, which do you think is gonna be the better way to go?

 

lol sorry about that, I swear I looked at that thing like 3 times before I hit save, fixed

 

,15 Access Cab. The Utility Package so no jump seats. The dog kept trying to stand on the cubby hatches so I built this shelf from 1/2 ply, some really old Doug Fir legs and fitted blocks that set down in the recesses atop the hatches, nothing moves, side to side or front to back. Tried it out for a few weeks with carpet scraps taped on. Got some gray indoor outdoor carpet and did a better staple job. The lovely wife suggested making it in two parts instead of wresting a 4 foot piece of plywood in and out between the seats so now each side lifts out separately.

I only just noticed these base models are only badged on the tailgate. I think some running boards are on the list for the next thing I add. The Weathertech mats are one the way and I'm still trying to figure out what seatcovers to get.

rately.

 

Very Nice, I did almost the exact same thing, (Great Minds think alike!!) mine is an "09" & had the consul & the jump seats works great. I really can't understand the "Jump seats"

 

New tires and wheels!
The mostly black 09 just got blacker!!!!

 

Insurance costs more for 2 seat vs 4 seat cars. Many 2 seat cars are sport cars. Thus all 2 seat cars are penalized. Don’t know if this apples to trucks.

 

Oh didn't know that. I got mine through custom offsets back in Oct.

 

Busy morning... Cut my exhaust pipe over the axle this morning, met up w/ @boogie3478 (thanx) to pick up new grill & shoot the taco shit a bit then to home depot to pick up tile flooring for bathroom & kitchen & filled up gas can for mower. Now that I'm home it's time to mow & get painting finished to start flooring later this week.

 

While looking over my truck I noticed my drive side axel boot was torn.
So new axel it is!
Also changed my front dif oil at the same time.







Then I remembered my brakes need some love and took a look.

 

Just gotta say I definitely like having a grill on my truck! Thanx Brian aka tacomaholic. Now to get these damn retros done between house remodeling... blah! @boogie3478

 

New brakes!
