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

Pulled skids, sanded and repainted them.
Moab scratched them up.
2012 with only 72K.
It's just a toy.

 

What front bumper is that?

 

Everything is Pelfreybilt, except sidebars.
Got it all before they ripped everyone off.

Rear bumper is also Pelfreybilt, but got it from BAMF flash sale when they bought up everything. I truly wish I had different armor due to what Pelfreybilt did to the Tacoma community, but it's a good quality product and too expensive to replace. Armor will last longer than the truck.

 

Looks good

 

You got me beat but not by much and it's my daily 80k. Got it in 2012 with 1.9mi on it.

 

I was thinking that's what it was. Appreciate it.

 

Nice.
Bought mine in October of 2011 with 3 miles on it. VIN has 7 letter in it straight from my last name.

 

My builds focus more on lighting and noise-making, so that's what I'm working on. I volunteer with a lot of non-profits as road support for their charity events, so I put amber lights on my trucks to use while I'm working. I'm also a public safety radio technician, so I spend enough time in the woods in the dark that I like a decent complement of auxiliary lighting. I also moonlight occasionally as a vehicle upfitter, so I can't stop myself from bringing my work home with me lol

It'll probably get some better shoes when the time comes, hopefully some Methods to go with them, maybe the Bilstein 5160/6112 treatment... Nothing crazy.

 

Replaced all spark plugs. First time replacing at 65k miles and they still looked pretty decent. Got some genuine Toyota plugs and got them all done in ~1.5 hours. Super easy if anyone is thinking about doing it at home!

 

So far everything is working pretty well. The physical buttons at the bottom is a nice backup if there is an issue with the touch screen becoming non responsive.

 

The arms were angled weirdly when on the ground. And the angle of the ball joint was too much making a popping sound.

I just changed them back to oem.

 

No idea, I thought they were usa made. But when I got them, they looked like they were used.

 

Saturday had oil change, tires rotated, alignment then went home and lubed the drive shaft and leaf springs along with my SPC UCA. And ordered 3 cabin filters as mine looked like they just came in from the dust bowl I work in.

 

Gave the interior a long over due post winter cleaning . Probably do it again this week . Also changed the cabin filter

 

So far I'm liking it. A big upgrade from the stock Entune unit that powered off and restarted randomly. The HVAC controls on the screen takes a bit getting used to. I say traditional dials has the advantage over the screen display and buttons. You turn a dial without looking and just know the setting by "feel". Looking at the controls on the screen can be time consuming, even if it's for a few seconds. The HVAC buttons on the bottom helps to alleviate it. I like it for the clean appearance on the dash as opposed to the larger screens that seem to protrude over some of the vents and impede vent mounted phone mounts (see my Offroam phone mount in pictures). Those horizontal large floater screens do have the advantage if someone likes to watch media on said screen and utilize all the screen space. With the 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB hard drive, it cost me $1043. Would I purchase it again? Yes as I like it's capability over traditional aftermarket brands like Kenwood and Pioneer. Would I recommend it? I would but I also encourage a potential buyer to evaluate what's important to them. Do they like to convenience of HVAC dials? If so I would steer them to Joying or Dasaita.

 

My spc arms are probably the first generation of their arms. No zerk fitting/non greasable. New arms are greasable. That one of the reason/ and they look like shit from 12years of northeast abuse. If you don't know they love to salt the living shit out of our roads in the winter even if we get no snow.

 

Scored a CaliRaised Pro Roof Rack with Light Bar on FB Marketplace for $300 yesterday. Practically brand new as well.

Also have Bilstein 6112/5160, JBA UCA's, and Icon RXT Leaf to install

 

That sounds like a Hella of a good deal

 

I thought so too. Now I have to figure out how to wire in the light bar as it didn't come with any wiring, harness, switches, etc...

 

This totally on my list too. So many shiny things but very little moolah
