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

Is there a how to for this ?

 

I've only seen them on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/170752201222?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

 

Turned it over to the wife to keep it warm while on RIMPAC

 

Did a radio bypass for my Pioneer!

 

??

 

Installed my Satoshi grill

Hidden behind my winch control box, but hey, it's there!
Also, used the UniStrut trick to whip up a bracket for quick fists for my new HiLift jack:

Was able to sneak a washer in there to give a little more stability.

Quick fist drilled out to accept a 1/2" bolt, the bracket I found at Home Depot.

A quick rattle can flat black on the bracket.

And boom! HiLift jack is in.

I think I'm gonna go a size bigger with the quick fists though, it's pretty snug.

 

Changed the color of the Fog lights.

 

Thanks bud, I'll consider those! The rear rides like a go cart.

 

Are those quick fists stout enough to hold that hi-lift like that? I would think bouncing around and the constant weight would break that strap.....

I would atleast want the quick fist turned over so that the strap wasnt bearing the weight all the time.

 

I wasn't sure about it either, that's why I'm gonna go a size bigger with the fists. But as far as being up or down, I think it'll be okay if I can snug 'em up tight enough in some bigger ones.

 

Installed my tube steps today.roof rack friday!

 

Looking at your pictures again, I would just make a longer bracket so that it drops down so you could flip the quick fists and then flip your hi-lift so that the lip was down instead of up. The strap being tight, may not actually be a bad thing, but with it bearing all the weight, I wouldn't expect it to last very long.

 

knocked a little bit of the mud off from last night's fun in the woods.

 

I installed my new Bed Rug. and sure does look nice; I will followup with pictures tomorrow morning.

 

Just got off Amazon, ordered a different type of quick fist, the "super fist", it wraps all the way around and attaches back at the same place, rated to hold 50 lbs, breaking point of 150 lbs.
I mounted it that way to try and keep it below the level of the bed rail. I run a Soft Topper most of the time and wanted to keep the jack out of the way and keep the rail cleats usable. I figure with the jack attached by three of the "Super fists" it should be fine.
We'll see!
Thanks for the comments though, it's good to have another's perspective.

 

Could you post a link or something to the super fists? I'd like to take a look at them. Did a quick search for them and I got nothing.

 

Here ya go.. The Super fist name I think I just made up in my own head

$20 QUICK FIST Long Arm Clamp for mounting tools & equipment 1/2' - 4-1/2' diameter (Pack of 2) - 40010

Installed ome, used stock uca's. Aligned perfectly (well, almost perfectly). I'll be looking for uca's soon.

 

Ok, I saw some of those. I think I may get two of the go between quickfists and mount mine like you did. I may add an eye bolt on my bed to be able to lock it to though. I'm paranoid about somebody stealing it. If they have to go through the trouble I will have to to get the nut on the back of the bed, atleast they had to work at it for a long time.

 

Stuck a funny decal on my 2TR-FE....
