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

Had an unbelievably positive experience with our local shop in Mesa (State 48 off-road / AZ toy pros). I try to do most Of my own modification / maintenance service on my 2008 but when you’re working overtime & have 3 kids and just need your truck heavily serviced to keep it as reliable as possible, it can be tough to find a shop that you trust that is very comfortable with heavily modified trucks.
I had my water pump, thermostat, drive belt, coolant flush, rad hoses and cap replaced along with a full brake service including rotors, pads and front SS brake lines, an incredible alignment & full transmission flush from these guys on my 152k mile 2008 and let me tell you the experience was nothing short of incredible. These Toyota experts have great rates, take no shortcuts & can be trusted to take the time to discuss and properly inspect & recommend needed services for your Toyota. I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with their shop and my services that were provided. Do not hesitate to call these guys and get scheduled in for service / modifications. Screaming 10/10 experience. Their turn around time was wicked fast also which is great. @state48overland

 

Missed the sale. Now $319. Hopefully it will go on sale again.

 

Took the cap off for the first time since the truck was new. Road trip tomorrow to get a Four Wheel Camper.

What you thinking of it so far? I’m considering this option instead of a rooftop tent

 

I like this rims …what brand are they.

 

Loving it, I switched out my hard shell for it because I wanted to shed some weight and have a little more versatility in terms of being able to fold it down if I needed to load something tall in the back. I wasn’t using the roof racks on the old shell and never really kept anything of value in the bed so I never locked it. Plus I think they just look awesome.

you could always do a Softopper with a rack over the top of it to mount the tent to.

 

Long day yesterday. Did DIY alignment today. You can see the flattened cam tab in the first pic. Couldn't get an alignment because of it and it pulled right a touch. Installed Total Chaos cam tabs. She drives straight now!

I’d not thought of that… hmmm

 

Your slogan in your signature is epic

 

Ditch lights.
Check out that paint, like a freaking mirror.

 

Primed and painted and installed a @RelentlessFab hybrid bumper and @WarFab Armor phantom high clearance rear bumper



Waiting on rock sliders and trilogy skids of @JLee of Bayareametalfab

 

Threw some mirror tint on the GFC today to discourage window shopping tweakers

 

I installed the underland molle panel. I wish i did this years ago. I cant wait to build my platform next weekend.

 

Might as well install sound deadening while you build the platform, that way you only have to take the panel off one more time for the install of both.

 

Yep have the foam and rubber on order.

 

I did end up pulling mine and placing an ABS panel behind it to assist with the vent letting in road noise. But that was only after I'd driven for a year with only deadening in place and was like "this could be quieter".
