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

The important thing is that you did it.

 

Bed of the truck is naked and awaiting it’s next change up. I will say it’s nice to be able to see out of the rear window for a change. Icon rxt leaf pack should be here next week so I can trash these Dakar’s along with bring the rear down some.



Today I also matched the rear quick disconnect air fitting to the front. This is going to be very convenient after the trail.

 

Where did you buy the grille?

 

Prinsu Cab Rack installed last week.



Also got a 1up Super Duty bike rack. Still waiting for the Rak Attach swing arm to get delivered.



Snugtop Rebel on order….

 

Did you go camping at expo overland east? Sorry, it just looks like it from the background

 

Was delayed by a bit of a SNAFU this morning after breaking camp. Spent half the day chasing down the rattle and driving 80 miles out of the way to Moab for a bolt…

After we got that sorted out, wife and I did Top of the World trail. Took about three hours to run it, got back to camp just before sunset. Lots of slider and skid action on this trail, as we opted for the full lollipop loop, taking the more difficult left route on the way down.

Awesome trail and the view was amazing.

 

Did a little maxtrax and pelican case one the roof rack upgrade today. Storage and recovery on point

 

You should be fine. Depending on the weather, I would try to leave it in the sun for a bit before you try the heat gun. To be safe.

If forced to use the heat gun, start with low temp then build up. Since the truck is a little older, you might come across something like this:



I use paint safe googone and a microfiber. Then buff it real well with a good compound to rid out the tan lines.

 

Greased between individual leafs on my Dakar’s . Still chasing the clunk/ rattle in right rear
Maybe I need these with the greasable bushings

 

Wrapped part of the truck, probably gonna do the whole thing now...

 

I had a clunk in the rear after installing my aal many moons ago…turned out to be the u bolts. I loosened them with the truck on the ground, jumped in the bed and bounced around, retorqued and good to go for years now. Might try that?

 

I did a mod to my second gen called “camping”




Fresh catch, ocean perch

 

No worries. Yes I did. Good eye!!

 

That shackles are for 1st gens.

 

yes that is a 6" BDS CO

 

Yep, a 2013! Pros of living in a somewhat small town I guess. My weekend fishing trips add the bulk of my mileage.

 

Went camping over the weekend again. This makes 44 nights total this year. Trying to make it to 50 so I'm glad the weather has been so nice. We explored a lot of forest roads and got rained on almost all weekend but it was still a great time. This wasn't last weekend but the week before we found some bioluminescent mushrooms, I've never seen anything glowing like that so I was stoked!

 

More tiny mods....swapped in LED sequential blinkers into my 2012 sport side mirrors. Went with the silver ones since mirror covers are white and they blend better than the black ones...on my truck. Plus the silver were $8 cheaper for the pr......



Much brighter than oems and likin the sequential action.

 

Installed this bad boy

 

Glad you were able to get it all sorted!
