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

Today I installed my ARB Rear Locker. Well the mechanical part anyway. Still need to figure out the compressor placement and get it installed and air line run. I took some pictures along the way and will do a show and tell a bit later. I'm wooped and plan on some easy chair time. A challange the first time but if I had to do another, it would be much easier.

 

I installed my Panavise Indash Mount for my iPad. Technically I installed it a couple days ago and uploaded the pictures today.

Here is the docking headrest cradle.

 

I painted my ATO Hi-Lift Jack Brackets & Antennae Brackets for my truck and my son's. Painted to match our super white trucks...



Waiting for final coat of paint to dry, will install tomorrow.

^^^ How many high lifts do you have?

 

Currently just one, plan to pick up a second eventually.

2. One each truck.

 

Working on Colormatching the Grill. The paint does not match.. I feared this.. Damn it.. I guess I will try again and see how it turns out. All else fails back to black.

 

Last Sunday I lifted my 2011 DC. I put king 2.5 COs up front with DSM UCAs and in back I installed fox 2.0 with a 2" AAL. Today I got duratrac 285s. I also installed new brake lines.

 

Busted her cherry! Got her dirty!

 

Painted the front grill. Used Duplicolor, a bit off but a million times better than chrome.



Reconditioned headlights with Meg's kit.

 

Extended my HuskyLiners flaps with material from RenoTacoma. Used three #4-40 stainless screws on each flap.

 

Thought the rage was shortening them, BOB EM!

 

Had my 64,000 km service done at the local dealer.. Had them replace the spark plugs, and do a drain and fill with the tranny as well. Would have done it all myself but I'm out of the province and my father is driving the truck.

Next update will be the installation the following as soon as i get back home as it's all waiting for me there:

-TRD catback
-AFE Pro Dry S filter
-Weathertechs
-TRD auto shift knob
-Track mount bike carriers
-Debadge
-Grillcraft grill

Looking forward to getting it all on!!

 

The Huskies are about 3" shorter than stock. I had to run them for the extra tire clearance. For a month, I noticed a rooster tail on my rocker panels every time it rained. Don't want this to happen to my Taco:

 

If I had this I would shorten the stock flaps behind the extensions you put on. I only removed my mud flaps because when I did some off-roading and got stuck in the sand they got pushed off the truck

I've kept my mind open to ideas about putting them back on but with more flexible material. This is a winner.

 

Oh I changed my oil today and also fixed my squeaky rear brakes with that white rattle can stuff from gunk. Sooooo quiet now.

 

Touched up front bumper
Moved winch control box
Secured flares better
Another new idler pulley

 

I didn't do anything to my taco... but I bought these for my gadgets that go with me everyday! I think they are trail rated haha

 

Stopped by All Pro today and got pretty lucky I think. They are releasing a new one piece front bumper later this week for the 05+ called the Apex. I'll post better images after it's painted, but here is a teaser. Thanks All Pro!

 

IIRC those flaps will bolt in place of the factory ones.
