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

Its one of the Chinese ones offa Ebay. Ill have to keep an eye on it.

THanks for the heads up :beer:

 

^^^ Nice. I've been lookin for a good deal on one for awhile.

 

It was around $2k...

 

Yeah, that's why I'm still looking. There was a member near me who had a Silver one for sale for 900 on here. He wasn't getting any bites so I was gonna wait another day and shoot him an offer, but he sold it.

 

That sucks. I needed my shell ASAP so finding the best price wasn't an option.

 

I tried to add LEDs in my canopy but the Felt strips I got to cover the wires wouldn't stay because its too cold here.

 

Louisiana?

 

I just finished up changing the oil. Recently hit 45K miles. I used Mobil 1 5w-30 with a WIX oil filter.

 

Added a Third Brake Light flasher, trailer hitch mount/ball and a lock for my bed extender tonight...passed on the Roll-X install for the time being...but soon.

Stocked up on detailing stuff after reading this thread.

 

I had that issue as well (not to felt but the cold with LEDs not sticking anyways. Got some "weather stripe adhesive" and used it as a sort of glue and it has worked great. It is a lot less temperature sensitive. Was like 6 bucks and i found it in the automotive area at fred meyers. Can be messy since it has a large hole for dispensing but i went slow and it worked just fine. I applied it last time it was ~25 degrees out and it stuck and has stayed in place

 

Yeah. I just ordered a new one that's plastic. Hopefully it holds up better. Since there's been so much salt this winter, that metal one took a beating.

 

....Same....twice...

^^^X2^^^

 

I drove it for the first time in about two weeks. I've been off work with torn calf ligaments.

 

Ever think about spraying it with some clear coat? The Rustoleum stuff? Or did you do that and it still got beat up?

 

Added more d rings to the bed...in the snow

 

No. Honestly I didn't even think about the salt affecting it. This was the first winter I had it on. If you were to do that, I'd imagine you'd have to remove all the double sided tape too to get it fully covered. I should of took a pic. It was like raised and bubbled under the chrome finish. Not just like a rust on steal with chrome. Not sure what type of metal it was. It was cheap, so I guess it is what it is. Hence why I'm going with plastic now.

 

Finally got around to getting my arm rest done.

I really have my work cut out for me this weekend. And it is supposed to snow again tomorrow night.
