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

Thanks. Its not to hard, and when you are starting with chrome you want to power wash it off. Thats something I didn't know to do on the first try. I used Dupli-color perfect match and 10 coats of clear. The match is basically perfect to my BSP (which is tough to match).The hardest and most time consuming part of it all is wet sanding the clear coat once it is dry. Its a PIDA but once it is done, it cleans up nice.

 

I bought a whole grill and the surround came separate. All and all i believe it is around 50 shipped. Not too bad. And the paint is about $8 a can.

The grill I got is the first one and it worked great. I just sanded with 500 grit, primed and painted!

 

Put a for sale sign in it

"I am selling this brand new pickup because unexpectadly I came upon the vehicle I have always wanted in good condition and I couldn't pass up the opportunity."

May I ask what vehicle you've always wanted?

 

X2

 

Haha yall might laugh but early year Toyota pickups are hard to find around here and when you do they're covered in rust, treated like crap, or barely running.

I found a kid at my college with one in great shape and he was complaining about driving it back home or trailering it back every summer.

Call me stupid but I'd rather have a 94 than a new taco any day and I've thought long and hard about it and decided meh, I want to build this thing right so, I put my truck up for sale. If it doesn't sell so be it.

 

Sounds like a sweet project! The older ones chug along forever! Congrats!

 

Thanks man, I know it's a dumb move trying to sell a brand new truck and figure I'm goona catch some flamers but I've decided to go for it.

Also, excuse the "this is an awesome off road vehicle" talk in the ad haha that's for the non TW members only

 

Eh, its not dumb. Sounds like a sweet project. You do what you wanna do. I did like the off roading talk on the add .

 

Some rich kid will drool over it n get daddy to pay up. That's what happened to my Tahoe. . . Punk kids

 

When I sold my 2000 Taco, the kid came with his mom in tow (to pay up) and told her there had better be some more money coming soon cuz he wasn't going to ride anything less than 33's and he'd need a lift for those. Spoiled fahker

 

made use of the bed rail that was sitting behind the toolbox

 

Gave her a bath today. I swear that a damn tarodactyl took a dump on my truck while I was at work today. There was a huge poop splatter from the hood, up the windshield, to the roof!!! WTF???

 

Wanna sell that 3-leaf AAL? Haha good luck with your sale and hopefully you can enjoy your new toy!

 

Pics? must see...

 

sell me the URD short shifter!!! LOL

 

Wouldn't be worth taking it out and shipping I don't think ha pm me an offer I guess but I'm pretty busy lately ha could happen though

 

Wash and overdue clay bar. Wax tomorrow.

 

Bought some Adam's polishes and pads. Hopefully get to detail this weekend.

 

I was too pissed off and ready to clean her up, that I didn't even take any pics. I should have though.
