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

Yesterday, got in my truck and my TPMS light was on.
Walked around to check tires and found this. Worst freakin case scenario.



Right in the sidewall. $250+ nail.

Also, driving back from Colorado last week I got a bolt from a flatbed hauling junk cars right in my grill. Punctured my a/c condenser so I had to drive all the way across Kansas in 90 degrees and near 50mph winds. What a hot and dusty day.
Got it fixed in KC, thanks to Jay Wolfe Toyota. Great place, they helped me out big time.
That was a $1550 bolt. Insurance should cover that one though, minus deductible.



You can see the green coolant where the hole is.

Not sure what I did to get all this bad luck.....
.

 

Ouch! I am not a huge fan of the looks of grillcraft, but I do like the functionality of it. The radiators will last a lot longer without all the rocks hitting it, and bugs stuck in it.

 

il never regret getting a short bed, I fucking SUCK at backing up a long bed, I tried backing out of an alley with a powerstroke 350 dually and it was literally impossible. i had my friends dad do it.

 

Well it wasn't "literally" impossible, was it? Maybe you just suck...

 

il admit it, I suck at backing up a 350 long bed dually. lol

 

It's tough. With my last job we had GSA vehicles. Hardest thing I did was a crew cab 3500 long bed with a single axle trailer. It's such a huge truck and a short tongue'd trailer that jackknifed on a dime.

Good thing I grew up with boats, or I would have failed that.

 

Nothing but positive feedback here at TW. Love the encouragement lol.

 

I don't support the fact that the dictionary has changed the meaning of this word. You are literally using it wrong.

My last work truck... C7500 with tool bed and 60ft man-lift.

Try backing up a compressor that is 3ft narrower than the truck with only side mirrors.
That was fun backing up.
Our wire trailer was better being longer , but still 2ft narrower than the truck.

 

I cannot see much of the 3 rail Kendon trailer and barely anything on it in the rear view. Thank goodness for the back up camera.

 

Yup. If you can't see it, you know you're going in the right direction

 

Changed over to winter tires and steel wheels. Pumped some Lucas NLGI #2 into my sway bar links while the front wheels were off.

 

Agreed. I hate it when people don't understand how to use that word.

 

It literally makes my head explode

 

Maybe his friends dad is a crane operator an lifted it out since it clearly could not be back out.

 

Did the Yellow wire mod on my 09 today. Hopefully I'll get to test it out next weekend.

 

Had them for about a week and a half , finally got time to install.
Love them, very comfortable and now no need to worry about getting work dirt on them.


Black-Charcoal, burgundy "TRD" to match "TRD" sport bedside sticker,

 

Those are AWESOME!

 

Thanks, even my wife likes them, so all is good, lol.

 

Dirty 5s on Steath 6 wheels!
