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

i filled my tank up today, gas is over 2 dowars again

 

x2 I did at lunch today for 1.99. Went by that same station 4 hours later to get dinner price then was 2.05.

 

yea i paid 205 MF, i remember last year when i was putting 4 dollar premium in my integra now that sucked

 

Ok, I must be a newbie... I keep seeing people on here talking about deckplates. What are they?

It is to get more air in the intake. Better Sound and supposed be more horse power. Almost same as adding a Cold Air Intake, but way cheaper.

 

i used this link. it was very clear. the dremel tool is a must though. made it a lot easier.

 

Oh ok... Now I understand. HAHA

 

OK well it wasn't today but it was but i didn't have time to post pics yesterday by the the time I got home.
Here is a few pics from it...







Taking them off was simple it only took like 15 minutes but putting them back on took about 40 minutes. It was well worth it though!

 

Wash, clay,clean glass, hose clamp mod, cup holder mod and repaired 2 of 10 hail dents 6000 discount=600 savings per dent

 

Bedliner-ed Bumpers, grill and safari bar, finally stopped raining. No more Chrome!!!


Before:





After:








Can anyone suggest some decent off road lights for the bar, that wont break the bank? I've been looking at the Westin lights.... They come with covers but I think I'd rather have grills. Whats all your opinions?

 

I think that its funny you go through the trouble of blurring your plates in some pics, but leave the perfect shot of your back plate clear.

 

looks great man!!! i did the same thing last summer.........and i love the look. what bedliner did you use?? and as far as lights go.....i love my hella 500's.

 

can i ask y u took them off?

 

haha yeah, to be honest i just wanted to. It was nice weather and me and my friend had spare time. I had talked to someone who did and it didn't take them long. It didn't take long at all, 15 minutes tops to get them off and thats with doing it slowly the first time to make sure i didn't mess anything up. and it took about 30-40 minutes to put them back on, but i'm sure i'll be quicker next time around. To top it off, some of the looks i got riding around town were priceless. It was well worth my time in my opinion.

 

is it legal to ride around town with no doors on ???
if so i might be taking my doors off

 

Yeah as far as I know it is. I know you are suppose to have a rear view mirror and other than that, i think thats it. Some states are more strict than S.C. but i think thats it. The worst that can happen is you get a fix-it ticket and you have to put them back on or something...so its well worth it.
It even rained on me the next day but it wasn't bad. when your driving the rain goes right by you, but when your stopped it can blow inside and that kind of sucks, thats why i put mine back on until this weather gets more predictable.

 

hmmmmmmmmm..............interesting
didnt even relize u were in sc

 

yup, sure am

 

The Before pics were taken the day I brought the truck home, over 2 months ago now.
Yea I was in a hurry, and not at work. No photo programs at home. haha Oh well!

 

Your actually where I got the Idea from...
I just took it step further and painted the fading plastic as well.
I used Plasti-Kote bed liner. I went in to Wal-mart hoping to get Dupli-color or another well known name, but thats all they had at the store by me.
