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

ohh i didnt even think about that. i think your right, 2010 may have been the last year for BSP. i dont think the 202 and 209 blacks would match. the 209 has a pearl speck in it. maybe to soeone who doesnt know any better it would match but it would bug me. im still going to call and ask about it though, just in case.

edit: now that im looking at the site from a desktop its much more user friendly than from the phone

 

I thought about washing it.

 

Where did you order the headlights from? It's pretty much time on my 06. Are they official Toyota?

 

He said Rock auto just like me. Look 1 page back.

 

Found it thanks!

 

No prob. just hanging out like usual. Trying to help out when I can.

 

You can buy one of the ABS black aftermarket grilles and mask off and paint it the correct code much cheaper. Some people leave them flat black. Personally I think the 202 black would look better than flat black however $200 is a lot if not an exact match.

 

Rock auto. I got the “sport” ones.

 

Handsome dog...

 

Sorry for not replying, I went looking for them and couldn’t find anything but yeah I also got mine from a random out of state dealership

 

I'm running bumpers and armor from BAMF.
Front is allpro.
Very happy with all of it

 

Got the swingout mounted this morning.

 

Had FedEx put the last missing link for suspension in the bed yesterday.

 

I just got these from Adventure Tool Company—solid and high quality. Now I know what waxed canvas smells like, haha! These will likely last me until l croak and then be passed on to the next generation.

Gear Bag (medium) - used for misc tools and stuff
Shop Roll - it's a tool roll bag
Utility Tarp (medium) - when I need to get under the truck out in the wild, I'm not scrapping my back to death
Camp Kitchen bag - I'll finally consolidate/organize my kitchen items


This was purchased with a buy once cry once mindset. And I like supporting small(er) companies!

 

I went to O'reilly today to get some spicer u-joints. Just had the one at the rear diff replaced, so I'm going to replace the mid-shaft one, and the one at the transfer case. However, the guy at O'reilly said that there are different part numbers for whichever section of the driveshaft you're trying to replace. I thought they would all be the same. Did you have to buy different ones for each section?

 

The three on the rear drive shaft are all the same assuming you are 4x4. The 2 on the front shaft are smaller.

 

Welp. Now I know what I'm going to use this couple yards of orange canvas I bought years back for - especially since I bought it to make a tool roll for my bike and just ended up buying a klim tool kit bag instead.

 

Thanks bro

 

After full claybar last week, I managed to squeeze in a partial wax job this morning as I'm racing pollen and the sun. Snuck the nose and back end in the garage (whole truck won't fit) to hit the hood, front end, tailgate and rear bumper, and then hit the driver's side before I lost out to the sun. I usually alternate my spring/early summer wax between Mother's Synthetic and Carnuba. I've found the Synthetic a little harder to remove and not quite as glossy, but it lasts much longer. The Carnuba gives that nice shine. So my mild OCD got the best of me and I tried an experiment. 2 coats. 1st coat with Synthetic for the durability and second coat with Carnuna for the appearance. Time will tell.

Hoping to hit roof and passenger side later today when the lower sun angle allows.

I'll hit all the black trim with 303 after wax.

Oh and I applied Rain-X to the windshield

 

Rainy drive
