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

I wear shorts all year , including winter

Top that

 

Did an install and write up on how to put in a anytime switch rear view camera mod to my entune system.

 

nice, include a link

 

I live in Colorado and don't own a winter coat.

 

I busted up some knuckles....




Putting my hood & grill back together after getting them back from paint. I now haz scewps & Satoshi:

 

Are you going to have to block your magazines now or are they grandfathered?

 

Grandfathered. We will likely be moving anyway. A state that thinks that I'm the problem and I'm the criminal is not a state in which I wish to reside.

 

good lord how did you manage to do that just installing a hood and a grille?

Long story but not my tools (or even the right ones for that matter), no gloves and trying to pry something to force it somewhere with a flat head screwdriver. A couple slips and there you have it. This is why I wear gloves when I'm turning wrenches. I was just going to the paint shop to pick up my painted parts though... or so I thought.

BTW, it's hard to tell from the pic but the left one is a cut down to the knuckle but that's not even the bad part. It's almost healed already today but the worse part is the fact that if you follow the cut upwards (against how it was formed) you see where it cuts the cuticle and then actually cuts underneath the cuticle to the left of the thumb and separated it from the nail bed. I didn't even notice that until today when I changed the band-aid and saw that the entire side of the thumb is white from lack of blood flow. Hopefully it heals up well and doesn't lead to any infections. I've had FAR worse injuries to that thumb though so I'm not too worried. The cut on the right finger is already almost healed as well save for the part where it cut through the cuticle.

 

Come to Texas, we got plenty of room and you can keep your guns. Plus you can help with Hog control.

 

Wanted to rip the dash out from all the damn squeaking/ creaking. Grrr.

 

I have an 800 watt solution to that squeaking noise


granted, it might make it worse over time, lol

 

^^ Who makes those bumpers? I don't think I've ever seen those before. Congratulations on your upgrade

 

Trust me, this is at the top of our short list currently. Our next door neighbors are moving West of Fort Worth and said we could come out and stay with them while we look for a place & work so it may happen. We've still got some family in Nebraska so there or Wyoming (closer to there) is also still in the running as well.

 

those are fab fours bumpers. thanks

 

Got it all done and installed. Its not perfect, but i'm happy with it. Way better than the chrome!!!
