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

My boss is super cool about us using the shop on the weekends for personal stuff (I’m a welder) but I did buy my own tube bender!

 

Did a non-precise time trial for airing back up today. Took me about 7 min to air up 10 psi which includes setup and tear down.

 

Nope. Just open. I have the other truck for any fun times that might require a locker.

 

Wow, that’s great! Looks like I’ll be ordering a set. Thank you!

 

No problem! They seem pretty durable & high quality.

 

Finished getting the axle back together and took it for a test drive. Brakes were pretty squishy. I'll work on checking the adjustment tomorrow. Hopefully i didnt get any extra air in the system. Used this along with the powerbleeder to bleed them:

Overall it worked, but I could only get about 5 pounds in the tank without it leaking.
I did immediately notice that the small clunk that had started was gone, so hopefully this has all been a success.

 

I stalled low range offroad e locker cover

Went pretty well

 

Ran the 1/0 cables from the amp panel down to the frame. Sprayed the terminal with rubber undercoat. Still have 2 more 4ga runs coming in the mail that I’ll have to do. Really thankful there was already a line of 4 frame holes I could use.

 

Took it through my first water crossing today.

 

Looks like your dogs floated out…

 

Dropped my Truck off for a full respray and getting the fibreglass bedsides coloured. Those bed sides are anything but “easy fit”.

New Lights all round after painting and a new grill with raptor lights. Wanted to avoid overspray on the new parts.

Have learnt so much along the way.

 

Today was about illumination.



The tree line is right about 180 yards…pretty pleased.

 

Nice! Post pics when its done. If you don't mind me asking how much are they charging you?

 

I’m interested in this as well, OP!

 

Made a custom seat bracket out of wood 2x4 and used turf to hide it all because i already made custom turf mats for all out the truck.



Not finished with the turf yet you could see but I think it looks cool

 

Put in LED reverse bulbs.

 

Took photos of it on my way to work. Always wanted to take up the road for photos, but now my OCD is mad that I wasn't in the middle (its a small backroad at 5:30 am).

The valley always fills with fog which is cool, my new phone (Galaxy S25) has issues capturing the led halos

 

Can I ask which ones did you use and the source? I tried three different ones that were all a joke: Not much brighter than the "birthday-candle flame" stock bulbs: might as well be a Bic lighter in there and cranked down/adjusted to "low".
