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

I spent some time on the phone with Mr Marv today and have some speaker brackets coming from him. I was going to go with some Morel 6x9 components that I have but I couldn’t lock down the measurements to be sure they will fit so I’ll be going with some Hertz 6.5 with some signed brackets from Mr Marv. I’ll do a clear stain on these. Now I have to do
Something with the Morels

 

I heard the manual is more reliable than remove version and am leaning towards it for that reason

I heard there’s something better than 303 aerospace (UV protectant that lasts a limited time) but i forget the name of it

 

Added a Max Modular bed rack and a Desert Armor Soldier RTT ( I guess it would actually be a BRT (Bed Rack Tent))

 

Got it, Thanks for the heads up!

 

I would definitely say dealer's choice. They are all made of mild steel AFAIK. Just pick one with decent gusseting and the amount of tie down spots you want and wait for it to go on sale.

 

I had the same issue or i thought i had the same issue. Mine would only make a noise when i pulled off and then stop once i was up to 5-10mph. Had my mech check it and it was actually the drive shaft bushing warn making the noise but it sounded like the belt to me. I ended up replacing the belt and the Ubolts and carrier bearing.

 

I gotcha. Yeah I’m gonna see how the cold start is this morning and go from there.

 

I really hate to point this out but your bed flexes alot and your rack is dangerously close to your cab.

 

One of the best things i did. I had a folding cover before my shell and it would pop up every time off roading. After I did my stiffeners I never had a problem. Plus it added mounting points for tie downs. Plus its a cheap mod.

 

Not today rain

 

Well the bed is closer to the cab than the rack and hasn’t hit yet. Thanks though.

 

The bed if you look is cub in the shape of the cab to account for the side to side flexing. The bed rack isn't. Trust me i know because i did something similar and dented my cab.

 

Took off the V6 & SR5 badges after confirmation from a few members regarding fading. Turned out really good and cannot see anything when looking at it except for when you know what you are looking for and know where to look but it could be some stubborn adhesive I couldn't get off in this cold weather. Also, what does everyone think about the bumpershellz? I like the black bumper but think that it kind of looks like a base model truck that comes with the black utility bumper. (no hate to base models they are usually the trucks that are used the most!)

 

I'll trade you for my chrome bumper.

 

Yeah theres a chrome bumper underneath there. Got the shellz in december but have kind of formed this opinion since then

 

I have been wanting to get rid of the chrome but haven't yet. I like the look of the black much more then chrome and I'd keep them but if its not you then sell them. lol

 

Definitely pleased with the quality and durability if that can help you decide at all

 

I’ll take my chances. Besides in order for the rack to hit the cab the bed would make contact first. Bed cab gap 2” rack gap 4.5”. I total trucks every week and even the ones with headache racks that close don’t hit the cab when rear ended.

 

Gat daym that is CLEAN. You know i've got to ask. Who makes the glass and what size is it?
I've never seen fiberglass fender flares look so close to, if not better, than stock.
It really keeps and improves the body lines. very clean paint work too.

**EDIT: Just saw you said Mcneil 2''
Thanks!
Wish I could run these but with my 3.5 LT Probably wouldn't work too well.

 

Bumpershellz is a good cost effective alternative if you want to hide the chrome. I have their "stainless steel" offering as it closely matches the silver on my truck.
