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

I bought a new-to-me colour-matched camper shell for my taco today. Very happy with it. Just need to get the brake light and dome light wired now.
The model is an Ultra Sport made by Century Truck Caps.
Next on the list is a new honeycomb grille!

 

Been sitting at the dealer for 2 hours now getting new tie rod ends as they're the latest part of the month that's failed. Finally a guy tells me sorry it's taking so long, they're having a hell of a time getting it aligned. This place closes in 20 minutes so something better happen.

 

Perfect, thank you

 

This is badass, no taco garage photos really seen on here

 

I am installing a 285/70/17 tires in 17x9 wheels with 0 offset ……. Would like the tires to sit even or just outside the fenders will I need wheel spacers ?

 

I had those wheel specs with my last set. They should sit just outside the fenders if I recall correctly

 

Agreed. Never been a fan of spacers. They create more issues with rubbing and drivetrain wear.

 

Stuffed a 255/80/17 and a put in a rear diff breather..

 

In 5,4,3,2,1…Bingo.

 

See you at 300,000

 

Now this is what tacoma's should look like

 

I’ll be there.

 

Love the dramatic buildup! I watched it to the Interstellar docking music.

 

What winch mount/bumper is that?

 

Looked through my vehicle First Aid kit to see what needed to be replaced (expired).
Saw the restock kit but it's out of stock at the moment.

TOYOTA 8" CLAMSHELL BUSHING Replacement and an alignment (not related) underway this morning.

 

Yep, Cerakote is the actual protection. Another side note, i bought some of their trim coatings as well. Its been working great on the black trim and doesnt seem to be washing off. Will get some pics of that soon.

Its heavy duty. I got it their powder coated version and its held up great since i put it on in 2015. They are a vendor on here as well. @usoffroad Brad is a good guy to do business with.

This thread goes over an install pretty well.

Got my cat security https://www.getcatsecurity.com/c-tacoma-9 installed yesterday. Went fairly smoothly. Only 7/16" drill bit I had (4 new holes for threaded anchor nuts) was long so I had to jack up the front end a bit so the drill would fit between the ground and frame. Anyway, seems like pretty nice hunk of metal and should deter thieves enough to move on.

 

Which one?
