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

Full brake and rotor job, about to finish installing remaining pads on passenger side and a monsoon just dropped on me. Rain and hail. Waiting for it to chill out so I can go finish up my job! Good old driveway mechanic work...

 

Where did you get the lights?

 

This was a hot pain in the ass and quite a bit more time consuming than I anticipated.



But as I was fighting the headliner back in trying to beat the rain and losing I realized I couldn't even hear the raindrops on the roof anymore when it used to sound like a mix between a snare drum and a tin roof.

I hope the dynapad resist heat as good as it claims.

Went for as close to 100% coverage as I could manage for heat resistance.

Black truck in Florida...



When the rain lets up doors and rear wall to follow, floor when I get my rubber "carpet" in.

 

In progress BAMF shock relocation, their HD rear shackle hangers, Bilstein 7100s, longer brake lines, ubolt flip and Superbumps.

And a set of Deaver springs, stage 3 cause I'm heavy.

 

Resists heat you say? *sweats in oklahoman*

 

Yes it's part of my weight loss program...

Wrenching out in 105˚ weather and shed 5lbs of water weight in 2.5 hours!

Seriously beats when it was 118˚ a couple weeks back and I said "oil change can fucking wait, hell nah"

 

Took the kayaks for a ride lol

 

Yeah the Dynamat is for sound deadening, but the Dynaliner is for rejecting sound and heat from outside.

I read a lot of good things about both and decided to give it a try as I have tried the "do it yourself" approach with little success.

Figured it's time to do it right.

Major difference, though I can't speak for heat yet as it was overcast all day.

 

Took a trailer load of mulch up to my parents' house today

 

Drove by 2 young girls, who gave me the "honk your horn" arm pump (?). I obliged and, boy, were they surprised and ecstatic when they heard my 4 horn 1980's vintage Park Avenue setup. (Sorry - no pics)

I finally got to use my rear facing horns on an oblivious Prius driver today. The look of surprise was priceless

 

Installed a shorty antenna and committed to doing a 2in - 2.5in lift. But before the suspension install, I need to tidy up some fail points.

 

damnit thats a good looking truck, how many times do you look back at it while walking away in the parking lot?

 

Rear facing? Wild.

 

Yes. Hidden in the bumper.

 

Console vault installed

 

Kinda looks like a shallow grave you are freshening up there.

 

Another Maryland Tacoholic here!

 

Alrighty! Thanks for the info. Did you go with the plain-jane SS one?

 

Retrofitted some 2020 Taco bed lights in my ‘14. They look stock and now I can see what I’m un/loading…
