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

That looks awesome! I didn't realize you had it run out both sides, thats even cooler! Thanks for the detailed pics.

 

I believe that @MESO developed this on his truck. I always followed him when I had my 3rd gen. He is quite the innovator as seen on his mesocustoms.com web site. He would be one to search in TW for info on most mods.

 

I've seen it on tons of race trucks so its nothing new. I'm mostly stoaked to actually see it on a 2nd gen.

It seems like the best option if you want to go high clearance but still want to dump exhaust out the sides rather than over the axle under the bed. I keep my dog in the back sometimes so not super crazy about the axle dump.

 

He was the 1st one I saw on a Tacoma. Can't remember if he did his on a 2nd or 3rd Gen.

 

This freaks me out. My 06 is around the same mileage and I have read all the threads about the head gaskets going. Was hoping to have a new truck by now but wasn’t in the cards. What did all the work set you back versus a new used engine? Trying to prepare for the inevitable….

 

looking good!

 

New shoes

 

The 05/06 head gasket issue is highly exagerrated on the internet. Somewhere on TW is a thread asking 05/06 owners if their truck's head gasket had failed and most hadn't - by far. Pretty much standard issue internet drama.

Has your truck's driver's side engine mount collapsed into the frame yet?

Lol.

 

Well I broke a bed bolt attempting to get it off lol

 

Should add a good 27-28HP too from what I’ve heard.

 

I’ve broken a few “Bed Bolts” in my younger days myself… don’t feel bad!!

 

Looks EXCELLENT!! I love it.

 

Lmfao!!! At least….

 

Added pelican case to back of rack , new claszio seat covers and Tacoma delete on door to topo decal and trd in red emblem

Added the tray and BedRug. i think a couple of worth while additions.

 

How did you put those hooks on the window like that? Drill threw the frame?
