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

Make sure you make plenty of reference points

 

oh, I'm all about the paint pen and Straight edge. done a few in my life was a Subaru tech and worked for Honda too, heck rebuilt my whole F350 suspension in my driveway. heck im the one who said id try a $27 center bearing for the science, think if id have gone extra wild with the wheel bearing grease it been fine, jsut put a coating, maybe even a set of "drop shims" see if that help

 

Install CB radio this pass weekend….

 

that looks awesome! been looking for the panel to bolt to my seat jackers, but i cant bring myself to drop the $ on the bracket when the passenger side one is what i plan to mount a fire extinguisher to.

 

Thanks…I understand…it is $$…but worth the money…,if ur going to add stuff to the panel….and I just bought the panel not the seat jackers…and I pay in 4 PayPal….lol

 

I went to the link and read it plus several others. My 1st Gen needed a paint job, so after I went to the local Automotive Paint store and was quoted $800-$1000 for the paint materials only, I decided to give the Rustoleum roller job a try. I just did the 2nd wet sanding and 5th coat tonight. Of course there are some flaws, but I’m not looking for a showroom truck.

 

got new Weatherbeaters a few weeks ago but today was the first time I've had dry daylight to grab a pic

 

Dang, I need one of these!

 

All 3 have now been installed

 

You'll have to let me know how this goes

 

mounts finally did come in. im just waiting for the free time to get this swap done now

 

With a enough layers. The flaws can be wet sanded with a block, nice and flat. IF you sand through, just add more layers. It took the poster of that thread a few tries before he got the hang of things. The final wet sanding and buffing is where the magic happens.

Good luck!

Post some final pics when finish.

 

Are you running a front camera? If so, do you have a link? Been wanting to add one.

 

+1 on this!

 

Not OP but this is the popular choice for a front/anytime camera. You'll have to look for the one for your truck year. I'm going a similar route but I'm adding blind spot cameras along with a front camera. In theory all my cameras will be anytime. My blindspot cameras will also come on when I signal. I just started gathering the parts along with my aux fuse box.

Was looking at the same one. Based on the description, it looks like it'll work with my aftermarket radio and backup camera I had installed a few months ago.

 

New Gar-Fab tailgate panel insert. Easiest mod yet lol

 

Installed my underseat subwoofer on the back panel because it did not fit under the seat. It was like an 8th inch too big.. I'm really happy with the way it came out.

 

Did you try flipping the bar underneath the seat for more clearance?

 

I didn't. I had Bilsteins, then added OME 883's, but the 'clunk' was there before all of it. So i think that rules out the shocks/springs so it's gotta be something else. I'll check the sway bar bushings as well.
