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

Yeah, too much rain to an already soggy ground. The coast didn't fare too well. Thankfully we live halfway up one of the valleys.

Show us some pics of those Hellas and that Avid!!

 

Drove through the worst of this hurricane

 

as you requested

You aren't a puddle jumper! You're a Marine! Stay indoors! LOL

 

Just changed the timing belt. Dealership wanted $70 for the labor to put it on. So I guess I did two things for my tacoma today, changed the belt and saved $70 to put into something else for it.

 

Changed a license-plate light that went out, bought some new tools, put circular blind-spot mirrors on both rear-views, cleaned it off real good

 

i gave mine a kiss and tucked her away in the garage. took the bike to work.

 

Got the front windows tinted yesterday and plasti-dipped the rear bumper, emblems, and center wheel cover on Friday while seeing how I like the blacked out look. So far I like it a lot.

 

Mounted driving lights

 

Put in a new battery. The 27f for the tow package is impossible to find.

 

Have the tow package and didnt think about that.

 

Put a coat of Nu Finish on, nice smooth and shiny finish on her now.

 

I just got done installing my old bed extender on my Tacoma... worked perfectly!
This whole time I thaught it wouldnt fit/work.... But I forgot that it can extend to fit larger beds..

 

washed...

 

I bought both of my dune antennas, cut about 18" off each one so I could have the long ones in the back and then I use the 2 18" ones for right behind my cab. I'll do pics tomorrow.

All I did was take the rail cleats and match up the drill bit size with the antenna size and then drilled out one of the holes in the cleats then slid antennas thru then put tiny hose clamps to cinch it up.

Pics tomorrow......easier to explain.

 

just dropped it off at service to get my pedals chopped and ecu flashed

 

crashed it into a lincoln towncar. guy failed to yield to oncoming trafffic (me) when turning left at a green light.

bought the truck 2 months ago, only 4700 miles on it!

 

Never fun to see a Taco smushed up like that...most important is that you're okay though.

 

That blows. Sorry brother. I know it sucks and all. Perhaps now would be a good time to consider alternatives if your insurance company lets you switch to aftermarket parts. Food for thought. Glad you're ok, but you didn't say what were you thinking when it was about to happen?

 

i was thinking "shit, that guy isn't slowing down". then brakes, horn, swerve, "BAM" nailed his front passenger side quarter panel. then our cars smacked together and he went for a 180 degree spin.

then, as i forced the drivers side door open around the buckled fender i thought "i sure hope this thing is totaled, and i hope he has good insurance"

looking like 0-2 though. dealer says probably not totaled. he carries century 21.
