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

Trdparts4u.com for $84. Dealer wanted $109 plus tax. Fuuu that. Lol

 

Found a decently used 285/70 and upgraded my spare to the same size as the main shoes.

 

Thats a very nice truck!

 

nice! thanks for the info.

 

$84 from TRDpart4u thats great its the $ 30 for shipping that is not so great .

 

Of course, No pics because I was doing all the work, but I pulled an FJ and a Honda Van out of snow drifts on the summit of the Coquihalla today! It was fun fun

 

It was $51 shipping for my rack and bed mat together. I doubt $30 is the cost to ship a bed mat.

 

I almost had to make an excuse for an ARB bumper. At a party and some b**** parked way close to my passenger side. As I was backing out I almost clipped the bed of her Ranger

 

What part do you Doubt ? I am sorry its actually $ 31.04 for the shipping .

 

I had the dealer price match. $87 is what they went down to. I wasn't complaining.

Took off the emblems and I'll admit it looks clean


BUT....... I think it'll look sharp with these minus the V6.

 

I checked shipping too but I still saved a decent amount by ordering a rack and bed mat from them. $107 total but still cheaper than the gas going to the dealer and the tax tacked onto it.

 

NO TAX IN OREGON .

 

Re-did the mounting of the bracket I made for my High-lift and my jumper cables. Was mounted to the rails with nuts that fit in the channel of the rails and to bed with some self tapping screws on the bottom. But the bottom didnt seem very sturdy so I fabed a support plate to mount between the bed and the cab. Solid as a rock now.

 

Looks really good man! Like how you have it mounted, clean look.

 

Thanks. It was a PITA to get the brackets between the cab and the front side of the bed. But It is WAY more durable now.

 

Yeah, I can only imagine the fun you had with that! Bitchen it worked out though! Is your mount for the hi-lift attached to the mount for the jumpers? Or are they separate.

 

Cool. Those are some long jumper cables, nice.

 

It is all one piece. I used two of the foot long mending plates from Lowe's and the pegs are actually fence gate latches, I just welded them in place.

Here is what most of one side is made of. I did run a bolt through the longer bar at the third hole I think which is what the high lift sits on.

The little guy is what is between the bed and cab. Drilled a hole large enough to get the nut to fit in the hole from the back so that plate sits flat against the inside of the vertical channel of the bed.

 

Very nice! I really like this, might have to add this to my DIY list for one day in the future! Again, looks really clean man, +1 for you!

 

They're probably 12-15 feet... maybe more.

They came from a coal mine in my home town so I imagine they are for heavy equipment... but damn will they jump a normal vehicle in a hurry.
