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

Rattle trapped the cab. Got the doors and back completly covered. Used the left over to do as much as the floor as possible.

 

Some kid in my neighbourhood thought it'd be funny to go around slashing tires.. I'm out 2 tires now.. scumbag.

 

Installed rear 5100's will do the front tomorrow, took it out for a ride after over speed bumps and way better then stock cant wait to do the fronts.

 

Does purchasing it count?? LOL!!

I did order a color matched grill for mine already, as I'm not a fan of the chrome grill..

 

A couple of weeks late now, but I saw a Tacoma stuck in the ditch, two wheels just off of the shoulder. Asked if he wanted a pull, got him back on the road with no drama, refused payment and continued on my commute. It's always nice to have the gear to be able to help.

He was on BFG ATs on icy roads. Didn't stand a chance, IMO.

 

New step bars

 

Very nice work!

 

Definitely on my to do list. My only concern would be putting everything back together correctly. Looks awesome!

 

I win. What turned out to be a cheap simple upgrade turned into a nightmare. But the stubborn one always wins. Installing d-rings into the bed, on bolt closest to the cab the torx head stripped. I cut it down for a socket. Didn't work. I tried freezing it, heating it, then said f-it. I trimmed it down and took the entire bed off. Then ground the bolt off. Nut was rusted solid onto the bolt.

 

Does wayne brady have to choke a bitch?

 

Had no idea Canadian kids did stuff like that. Someone egged my work truck last week, I didn't know kids still did that ether. Sorry to hear it man, may karma kick their ass's.

 

Helz yeah...you made that bolt your bitch.

 

Nice . . . . . .

 

Lol... It definitely made me work for it.

 

Damn

 

I did an alignment

 

trying to decide what to do next... keep current truck and upgrade suspension ( has 188,xxx kms) or sell and invest in a newer (white) taco.... thoughts?

also

what kind of milage are you getting in the snowy areas? I'm only getting about 300km maybe 350km to a tank in the city and not in 4x4.... normal?

 

I get the same mileage lately. 18l/100km usually and that's 95% highway.

If you like to off road, keep the old gal and you won't feel so bad about scratches and dents. If you don't off road get a newer one and enjoy the creature comforts. Mine has 220,000 and still feels like new.

 

Ordered up a few small things to pass the time:

Grillecraft Mesh Grille
TOYOTA grille logo
Chrome rear turn signal bulbs (hate the broken egg look)

 

Where'd you get the chrome turn signal bulbs?
