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

So that cover is what I have on my bumper. I got the bed liner one though I did think about dipping it originally. For me it was a "put it on and forget about it" thing until I decide what steel rear bumper I want after the lift. I'm picky about small dings and I feel I was going to be constantly checking the dipped bumper for marks.

 

You need to grab yourself one of these to celebrate

 

Picked up some Halloween decorations.

 

I pulled a 12' U-Haul trailer from Pennsylvania to Virginia. She did OK if you don't mind getting 10 miles to the gallon.

 

What shoes did you go with?

 

Installed BDS UCAs this past weekend. So not exactly "today" but recently.




Yesterday, I used 303 Tire and Rubber cleaner to (mostly) get rid of the mildew/mold/spots on the trim around my back window. I've tried other "cleaners" and soaps that had zero impact. I just sprayed it on, let it sit for a couple of seconds and wiped back and forth several times. After I finished the trim, I went back and washed the truck.

Before and after:

Planning on getting that and the 200k when I reach 200k.

Pre-COVID I might be there already. Post-COVID I have probably another 2+ years.

 

Just ordered it! thanks!

 

Last year I pull one of those trailers loaded to the top, the bed of the truck full and kayaks on the roof racks from Wisconsin to NM. Averaged a hair under 7mpg

 

Nice! "Just broken in"

My milestones:
My current 2nd gen '09: 120k
1st gen '03: 275k
Pick up '93 22R: 350k-ish

 

You had a lot more drag. Was your 4Runner a V6 or the V8?

 

Only asking here since this thread probably gets the most viewership, but is there a sticky or thread that lists all the parts one could replace on their Tacoma, with either upgraded Toyota parts from other Toyota vehicles or parts from newer Tacoma's that are mostly bolt-in? What i mean by this is I've heard people putting in Tundra steering racks, Lexus GX or 4runner brakes, etc. etc.

When I had my 1990 Foxbody mustang, when something broke I always tried to replace it with a newer model Mustang part. Like when my steering rack went out I put in a 2003 cobra steering rack, my front spindles were from a 95 mustang GT, my entire rear end was from a 95 Gt, my front brakes were the newer Cobra brakes, my brake booster was from a 93 cobra, my radiator was from a 95 GT, the list goes on and on.

Just curious if Tacoma's are sort of the same way...

Got this from another member. Every part and part number on our trucks. just make sure you're looking under your right model and trim.
Copy and paste that to your browser I think it should work.

 

Yeah, your going to need to host that file somewhere... can't just be on your computer at home.

 

Ill see if I can find the OP

Nice! Thanks.

 

4Runner?

I have a taco. The wife got a 4Runner (v6) but long after the move.

 

you do the matte or glossy?

 

Tell us you're old without telling us you're old

 

It's the Armor Coated (Bed Lined) option. It's glossy, more than I would have liked but I'm hoping it will dull a bit over time. If I did it again I would just say @&$% it and get the paintable ABS one to have it done in Silver Sky Metallic
