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

Nice sliders dude! My brute force fabs are going on soon!

Plasti derped my bumper, think it turned out awesome.

 

Dumped the exhaust behind the rear axle

 

thought it was dirty, so I washed it.
hmmm, could use a waxing...
hey that "T" in the Tacoma on the drivers side is peeling off, so I de-badged the truck
the insides a little dirty too, better detail it

a 20 minute washing turns into 2.5 hours ... <sigh>

 

i added 4 Of the Dodge D-rings in the bed. They cost $4 each and are extremely sturdy and well-built. I used a rat tail file to enlarge the hole about 1/16" to make the bolt heads sit flush.

Now I can't wait to use 'em!

 

pics?

 

here ya go

 

Today I paid off my truck! only took 5 months not bad.

 

Wow, nice job!

 

Wash and waxed...

But more importantly, I bought new duratracs ($970 final to door price)

and set of 5100's ($500 final)

All from Canadian companies... Easier shipping that way for me... Not that it matters...

Prolly buy some rims in Bellingham WA. After flying back from vegas trip in winter...

I'm stoked and feel I did alright on the price for a Canuck

 

Where did you get the Duratracs at that price in Canada? Link please!!!

 

Ultragauge

 

pmc tires ... http://www.pmctire.com/en/

265/75/16 6 ply $232 a tire I think

Shipping was $25 to BC ... Didn't have to pay pst... No bc tire levy... Plus there was a $30 off discount code

 

bought a blue sea aux fuse box and 100A circuit breaker (previously posted). made a cardboard template (which says version 2, version 1 sucked) and fine tuned my design. made a plate, support bracket for the far side (forgot to take picture), drilled holes, mounted fuse box and breaker, and relocated the relay for my existing lights. wrapped the EGR line and the edge of the plate with felt tape to make sure it would not rub through. just need to wire it up and i can start adding more lights pair by pair.

 

Nice tip, that saves me about $200 on a set of 5 BFGs, and almost $1000 on a set of 5 Nokians! You just saved me $1200, +Rep!

 

Nice link

Only $1100 for 255/80/17 KM2's

 

I just wanted to try them, heard a lot of good reviews. My previous winter tire of choice has been Blizzak DM-V1s so I thought I'd try nokians out since they are supposed to be better than blizzaks. Traction in the wet won't be a problem for me since all of the roads I drive in winter are pure snowpack and ice. I just throw duratracs on for the transition season. I found the duratracs don't come close to the blizzaks for snow and ice traction. So if nokians are better than blizzaks than I should have the ultimate winter tire. They are one of 3 different types of dedicated winter tires that come in a 33".

 

I'd definatley take duratracs over pretty much anything else for an all around tire, I just like dedicated winters for the worst of the winter months here.

These are the ones I'm after:
