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

Nvm. Found your post

 

Put up the new mudflaps, didn't like how they sat, took em back off. Headed to the hardware store this weekend for a fix

Also started sanding my sliders

 

Put $500 down on my Brute Force Fab front bumper!

 

Derp'd the hood

 

Billy makes great stuff

 

Yeah, that's what I've been reading. Just what I wanted, lowest price, first to reply to my request for info, and he can have it done in 4-5 weeks he said.


Now starts the waiting game!

 

I'm in the same boat, just put my DP for Bruteforce rear bumper. Hopefully I can sell my current one in the time frame.

 

Mind if I ask why you're selling the Demello one?

 

My rear is an All Pro, my front is Demello. I'm switching the rear bumper for something more suited to my future plans.

 

Oh duh. I see you said rear bumper now. That makes sense now. I didn't think you'd get better then DO up front. But I know I've heard mixed reviews on AP.

I want a rear bumper and sliders too, but they'll have to wait. I'm only getting a front bumper NOW because of a deer, and I thought it was stupid to drop $1,000 for my deductible on replacing worthless factory plastic crap.

 

that is true. The factory one is crraaap! just empty. I love how the demello looks, just wish it had more mounting points, it's only bolted on with 6 14mm bolts. I had BAMF make me a reinforcement plate, last time I used the winch the whole bumper was flexing forward.

 

That's the part with the BF bumper. Not sure how it mounts. I debated about welding it on, but then I was concerned about getting it off if I ever needed to. I want to gusset the frame around the mounts and back under the engine some. No point in getting this bumper if the frame gives out first.

 

4.88 gears from Tanner 4x4. Good guys. They know what they're doing. Next will be the cab mount chop from them.

 

Did a brake job on the front end and bled the brakes. Rear brakes still have plenty of life left (108k miles).

 

Ordered CB (Bearcat Uniden 880), 3' Firestik, Coax, quick release antenna mount & antenna mount (came in the mail yesterday)...so, once it is all here I can get the whole mess put in!! Been waitin' for a CB...still intend to study/get my ham but for now (and most trail stuff) the CB will be nice.

 

Did more 3M Di-Noc wrap....

 

^^ DAMN! That looks sharp as hell man!! Is it hard to do or require some serious patience?

 

^^^^^
What he said!! That does look REALLY good -- is it tough to do???

 

Homeys....that piece is hard to do. Wrapping (although I consider myself a noob yet) ain't too hard. Just takes patience. That particular piece is probably one of the hardest pieces in the car next to the gauge cluster. Took me about 2 hours and it ain't perfect, but it's decent.

 

Got her back from the body shop with the new hood and projectors. Still need to finish my black satoshi and my DO 3 hoop is showing up nxt week too
