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

I've seen guys do that. They buy the color match paint. Looks good. Let us know!

 

got these

 

Yes. To all of it. Mine was $500-ish vs $1500+ for fiberglass, bed is shorter than full sized trucks so I stack or stand things up, and it's easy to remove. In fact, I don't even remove it since it folds up against the back window. So I get the storage capacity of a cap, but I can fold it down to bring a fridge home without laying it down or fighting to take off a 300lb cap before shopping. I've gone places, made an unplanned purchase, and had to fold the top down to make it fit. That would be a lot harder with a fiberglass cap.

Unfortunately, at the same time there is a lack of security since a knife can cut it, and the vinyl windows do NOT like cold weather. I've cracked the back window twice.

 

Yes! Bad in cold weather. Below freezing you can't open the back window, let alone fold the whole thing down. Just flexing the back window enough to put something in the bed can cause the vinyl to shatter. You have to be *very* careful below freezing. First time for me it was around -3F out and i was trying to load wood pellets. That caused it to *POP* with 3 cracks along the middle much like glass.

The second was a smaller crack at a warmer temp, but still somewhere close to/below freezing I think. I had tried to avoid opening until it was warmer, and thought I was ok. That time not as bad, just a 2" section near the zipper. Still annoying, and a reminder they don't like cold.

That's for Besttop. If you get the Supertopper (i think?) all canvas one with no windows, the cold shouldn't be an issue.

 

Had new (to me) TRD black beadlock style wheels and new 265/75/16 Cooper Discoverer ATP tires installed on my truck yesterday.

 

Softopper still has a back window. You can get it with a screen mesh too tho.

 

While in Tucson to see our daughter I picked up a set of Super Springs. Back to New Mexico and have the Leer and bed rug installed on Tues.
Have a great weekend!!!

 

looks good!

 

new nitto terra grappler 265/75/16, also put new UCA's

 

Yeah I don't think that I would like having color matched mud flaps. At least with using Plasti Dip(PD) and if I don't like it then I can change it.

 

psyched... KC Hilites installed, woo hoo!!! also, bugflector for hood and airflectors for windows...

 

Where do you find lighted hitch covers?

 

Derped my side steps.

 

Washed my rig new fog light switch added led dome and map lights and installed my Aries III 3d floor mate front and back

 

Put the Craftsman 425 watt inverter in. Put it under the driver seat, soldered 6awg stranded to the alligator clamps that came with the inverter and I'll clamp them to the battery terminals on an as needed basis.

There's a large grommet under the driver seat I cut a slit in (and the carpet) to run the 6awg through, siliconed it inside and out.

Ran an extension cord through the same grommet and along the frame, over the rear wheel well with some flex conduit, drilled a hole in the top of the bed to snake it through, put a Home Depot female 3-prong on it.

 

What kind of heat does that generate at full load?

 

Slapped a coat of Dodo Juice Purple Haze on the Tacoma and cleaned up the wheels today.

 

Not much. It's 85% efficiency and has a cooling fan on it.

 

New tires and one TPM sensor, check my build.

 

Fixing this leak \/ since warranty didn't cover it due to "scrapes"
