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

About $4k. Replaced most of the brake drums/hubs and cylinder assembly, new front drive shafts, bearings, powdercoated the roll bars, bumper, and bed. new hood, fenders, temp sensors, rebuild carb, new plugs, adjusted valves, new gaskets, custom upholstery, wheels and tires, lift kit, filters, and lots of other various things. I was working on it in my spare time for quite awhile.

Dug it out of the snow after a weekend camping trip making igloos...

 

More pics in my build thread

 

Finished painting my grill!! I think I took the tape off a little soon...peeled the paint just a tad, looks fine as long as your not right up on it. Also did Toyata emblem white! Also, how do you get the full size pictures instead of the thumbnails?

 

I got my grill shell back from being color matched

 

I just received my custom made "Texas Edition" shift knob.

The first image is what I created in photoshop, the second image is the new knob against my custom grill emblem that I was trying to match and the last image is the new knob installed.

 

upload the pics to your library on TW then under the pic it will give you a web address to put in your post.

Looks good Where did you get it done at? Just a local paint shop?

 

Much better

 

Local body shop. $135 and it was done same day.

 

I concur.

 

nice

 

Damn. I wish Grand Junction wasn't as far as it is because I can't seem to find a decent rate on paint work anywhere around here. I need what you had done as well as a hood and the prices are pretty high. I found a decent local shop that is respected in the community that will do it for $350 but that's after I do all the prep work. So basically $350 to spray the two pieces. I think I'm in the wrong business.

 

What does a new one cost? Hell I think Homer can build you a Satoshi one for cheaper than that even.

 

That cost is to paint a grill and a hood. No way would I pay that much to paint just a grill if I was doing all the prep work.

 

I've got to say, I've never seen somebody so in love with their state! Haha

 

That's because you haven't been to Texas.

 

Got ya. I was gonna say. haha

 

Uhm, I lived in Texas for 19 years...
