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

The front speakers were buzzing and vibrating really bad, so I took the doors apart to find out that the guy who had my baby before me broke off the posts that the speaker was supposed to be screwed into. He zip tied the speakers in and made it kinda work. I took this all apart and made new custom speaker mounts out of some plastic I found. No more vibration and my speakers sound crisp and loud again. Super happy to have it fixed

 

That looks great. This stuff worked great on the front of my hooke road rack.

Today I drove it to Home Depot. Yeah, no big deal but after 12 years of ownership I still love it like the day I bought it new.

 

which brand/model lines did you end up going with?

I wonder if they have any for 2” lift and the slightly more extended droop that might come with Bilstein 5100 upgrade

I think some advertise as being for up to 3”

 

Trip to Lowe's today to get 21 large pavers. The weight was noticeable but she handled it well.

 

Damn thanks for reminding me I have to get the same for my side walkway.

 

Wheelers performance extended brake lines. They are 2" longer than stock and they make ones 4" longer the stock. I also grabbed the from them to fix Taco lean.

My front end went up 1.5" just from installing the new 6112 on the 1st clip with the 1/4" taco lean spacer. The shocks will still settle some, but it was still significant enough lol.

 

Replaced both door lower trim pieces. Very easy to do. Anyone that's tackling this... just use some pliers to grip it and rip it (the old ones) off. I tried for a while just using my hands and gave up pulling them off. Pliers made quick work and no need to worry about damaging the old ones anyways:



For some reason the photo makes them look faded but they are nice and new looking.

 

This is not about what I did, it's about what I want to do to my 2nd gen Taco. Replace the rear slider window with a one-piece window.
I've watched a few Youboob videos. Not really what I'm going for.
Question: Can the slider be removed so possibly someone else can use it.

 

Broke in my pizza cutters. Very happy with the offroad and mud performance.

 

Yes I agree. I did mine a little while back and pliers were a must to get it started. The rear doors were much easier for me than the front two.

 

Added more Noico upfront

Installed ARB fridge power into the backseat

Installed new bass knob

 

Installed this to help pull the RTT XL up the ladder ramp and onto the rack.

 

Cut my tail pipe off at the rear axle. Then gently beat the spare tire holders into submission. I can fit the spare under there again.

 

Nice! You sand and use adhesive promoter before spraying? You need clear coat after trim black? Wondering cause I’m about to do the same

 

Cleaned engine bay and got a sunburn

 

i did not sand, but i cleaned with dawn dish soap and a magic eraser. then i used 99% ISO to clean. then i used Bulldog adhesion promoter, 3 coats of black, and 3 coats of clear coat... cam out rather nice! ill post a pic

 

I need to do the same. How do the new ones attach?

 

They match really well. I had my truck at the body shop the other day to get an estimate on fixing the front end when the guy asked me what year my truck was because the trim looked so good. I told him it was a 13 and that I replaced the window molding and he was said "Ohhhh well that explains it then". Definitely worth the cost. I put 303 on mine every so often.
