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

You call it poor man's, I call it bloody brilliant! Let's not confuse the poor man with genius! It's a philosophy!

 

Installed my icons and dirt King ucas, ditched the sway bar.
Truck rides great, just need to figure out what front bumper I want and then someday get a flatbed made

 

Did you know Toyota president Akio Toyoda was such a big Chick-fil-A fan, he specifically designed this cubby for CFLA sauce?

 

Finished up the wiring for RTMR, Blue Sea fuse panel, and the heated mirror mod. Got the switches hooked up for the lights on the roof rack and mirrors. Storms a brewin in the mtns so also put on the snow tires

 

@Hyperbarics and apparently shark teeth too!

 

Deavers U402 stage 2….a little disappointed Deaver doesn’t include anywhere to secure the E brake cable.

only driven around neighborhood but feels a little softer than my squeaky ass OME HD’s

 

Drill out the hole in the existing bracket to fit the clamp bolts

 

back to stock wheels for the winter

 

Outstanding, nothing like taking the time to do it right! NICE JOB!

 

Thank you! Took a little longer than I thought it would, but turned out good I think!

 

Performed my 170K service today.

Oil & Filter Change (PP HW 5W-30 & OEM Filter
Engine & Cabin Air Filters (Purolator)
Lubed 5 zerks on drive shafts (Lucas Red & Tacky)
Will have tires wheels/tires rotated this week. I don't have tools to do that.
Replaced some of the PS fluid using the turkey baster method.
Checked and filled tires to 34PSI.
Dropped the spare, lubed the gear/drop mechanism and inflated spare to 34SI.

Snuck in a hand wash as it was nearly 60 today. Rare for late November in Maine

 

may come to that, just would be nice to include for the money

 

New dog box

 

Thankfully I kept a lot of stuff from my last 2nd gen. Reinstalled 2m today on a limited run bracket.

 

Uggghhhhh. New tires not even two months old.

 

Building my own version of trd pro grill . Waiting to have inside panel designed for inside

to be continued

 

Installed some chalk bags in the back of the truck to use as beverage holders and a spot to stash wax, small tools, and other small items.


The bags are a bit large for cans but a koozie and a couple cans of ski wax will solve that. The wax fits perfect and this will keep it easily accessible.


First step was to modify a spot weld nut to fit in the T-Slot


I left a longer tab on the nut so it wouldn't spin and I could tighten it after inserting into the track.




Assembled and ready to install.

 

How “limited” was the run on that bracket? Looking for one. Thanks

 

The guy doesn’t make them anymore. Mines a tight/good fit with no bracket at all
