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

Sorry for your loss.

 

Same here. Sucks when you lose such an important part of your family.

 

Here they are wishing they had thumbs so they could drive.

 

Awesome! The shell worked out great. Did you build a sleeping platform? I suggest doing so. This way you can put all your gear underneath.

I'm located on the East Coast, but the Sierra's would be awesome to camp/fish. Good luck!

 

Nope. THIS is a Tachroma Limited. Saw it today while getting an oil change done:

 

finally got around to doing sparkplugs... yeah 60,000mi is a bit longer than recommended, but better late than never

 

oil change

 

What were the gaps on the old ones you pulled out?

 

Hmmm, looked like one with those rims. I saw one at the local dealer and they wanted 38 for the damn thing. Sheesh, I could get a fairly decked out Tundra for that.

 

053 to 060 (around 038 is stock) You can see the electrode has worn away in the pic.

 

The chrome rims are just covers, to put another kick to the nustack

 

Haha 38 & all that chrome plastic? That poor truck is gonna spend its days hauling the trophy wife to the mall instead of on dirt where a tacoma belongs... Such a shame...

 

ditto

 

Yesterday I spent a couple hours cleaning the undercarriage. Today I spent a couple hours cleaning the inside and then I tested my new system for touching up the plasti dip on my truck. It works great btw! The dip took a beating in the woods and mud etc rescueing my play truck and all that jaz but as far as I could find the only scratch on the paint was on my roof so it did its job better than I expected as well.

The way I came up with to touch up knicks and chips is

2 rags, pb blaster and invisi glass
Take the first rag and wet a corner with pb blaster. Then scrub the flaky or damaged dip till all of the loose stuff is gone. Wipe of residue with the other cornee of the same rag. Then spray the invisi glass on it and wipe it withe the clean rag. I did this step twice. After it dries I did a few blended coats of dip over the patch area.

It turned out way better than the first time I touched the spots up when I trimmed the loose stuff with a razor blade as good as I could then blended the dip.

 

ehh?

 

Toyota typically does good market research and builds what people want... which often isn't classy. Witness the paddle shifters on the new Corolla, so all the old Asian women can pretend to have some control over the 4-speed auto.

 

Today I ordered a Pioneer AVH 5500 headunit and necessary components for my Tacoma. It is the first step to a new sound system.

 

Well the gf is white and she was covinced the camry was faster in selecto slush mode..

Ha.. ha.. ha..

It had 270hp they say but my old corolla would dust it off.. I just cant stand driving cars anymore

 

Ever since I bought a truck I don't think that I would ever go back to driving a car either. I am wanting to get a motorcycle next summer, way better than a car.

Yesterday I used Goo Gone(GG) and got the overspray of Plasti Dip off parts of my truck. Washed and dried. Put wax on it lastnight once the sun when down. It's hard to wax when it's dark out.

 

Anyone who wants the factory 18" chrome sport upgrade wheels... gimme a holler, I have a set off my truck from when it was brand new, had them swapped for BFDs within the first month
