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

Too bad, it looks like you had a pretty nice truck. You can maybe salvage the wheels and tires for your next one?

 

How hard was this to do?

 

Not bad if you have the tools. my buddy has a big ball joint press that works perfect for it. You can rent one from like Napa or other places. It took us less then 2 hours to do the one u joint, But it was cold, stuff was frozen and we messed up one of the caps and struggled to get it back out. If it were summer it would have taken us like maybe 45 mins.

 

Installed LED reverse and license plate lights last night. At $20 for the entire interior/exterior kit, this has to be up there as the best bang-for-the-buck mod.

 

Little sandpaper, little Cerakote, bada bing lol. That white sh** is the headlight residue that wet sanded off. It went everywhere with the drill.

 

Damn!! Looks like a new headlight! Well done!

 

Pro tip go to a 2000 grit or higher or you will see the scratches, lol. Right ones not as nice, learned my lesson.

 

Installed seat covers and Victory 4x4 panels. I didn’t have a lot of confidence in the supplied mounting hardware so I popped the console out and fastened them from behind with new hardware.

 

I dig those seat covers! Looks like they won’t fit on a 2015

 

Finally mounted up the fox 2.5s I got from @welderf15, thanks again man! Ride is much improved over the OMEs and the taco lean is finally leveled out.

 

looks great man.

 

Thanks, I wont be happy until i make a skid for it.

 

State inspection, oil change, greased ball joints, and then hand-washed her for the first time since last summer...still looking good & running great for 180,000 miles

 

Added some tweeters to the rear doors. Definitely fills the gap I felt was missing in sound all around the cab.

 

Details?!?

 

Went to a new shop for an alignment and tire rotation. Now my steering wheel shakes crazy when I hit 50mph. New shop is telling me my wheels must've fallen out of balance. So I gotta go back to the tire shop I bought em at to avoid paying this new place for it. Such a pain in the ass...

Anyway here's a pic of my truck on the rack...

 

Just kicker cs 3/4" tweeters. I cut the hole to the mounting size which is 1-9/16" and from then I just ran them in line from the speaker I had down there. Which is an image dynamics 6.5 coaxial speaker. They come with in line crossovers so it makes the install pretty easy.

 

Looks great!

 

I'm pretty good at the $5 wash.
