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

Had to pull Jon's driveshaft. He's now front wheel drive.

 

Added hoops to my bumper

 

Does a thorough bath inside and out count?

 

I scraped the old off and put a new bead of sealant that I bought from theretrofitsource

 

Cleaned her up inside and out. Going home to put in my newly finished RAPTOR SATOSHI grill!!!

 

Filing a flat - the file slipped up over the bolt head & I caught my support hand between the front corner of the file & the bed. I know - sound coordinated.

 

Update - took another look at it, got all the bolt shavings out and tapped the bit into the bolt. It seated pretty well so I tried it again and got it to creak loose. Awesome. It fought me the whole way out - a bit of surface rust on the threads really locked it in there.

From there it was quick work! Success.

 

Got around to installing my color matched grille. Also plasti-dip'd the emblem and added the TRD logo.

 

Also added a TRD shift knob.

 

Finished up my radio install -



:beer:

 

Finally got to install my newly finished RAPTOR Satoshi grill. Now gotta order the letters

 

Installed TSB leafs and new right side spindle. now to get it aligned and hope it was worth it cause it was a biiooccch to do. spent all day sat and sun. lousy weekend sorta. did enjoy doing something to the truck.

 

Washed and waxed..... and a mall crawler pic

 

nice here today, well above freezing finally, took the time to replace my OEM headlights with Spec D projection lights, easy job, about 2 laid back hours and some aiming after the sun set on the garage doors and a shake down, the lights are so much brighter now

 

love that paint scheme on the front bumper

 

Those are some cool looking head lights. Much brighter than stock huh?

 

way brighter from what I can tell out here in the country, and I was able to raise them a lot more than the stock beams

 

Added OEM running boards and bed mat today to my '14 to go with the recently added skid plate, all weather floor mats, new tires and tail pipe cover.

My 3 year old got into the truck today and said,
"Thanks for the new step, Daddy. Much easier."

 

First wash.

Doesn't get better than that.


I ordered a months worth of pay of new stuff: Fab Four bumper, Side steps, mud flaps, spyder front and rear lights, a new 3rd brake light and a Trex studded metal grille. Everything will be in within 2 weeks. I'll throw up pics after everything is on. Anyone on Oahu wanna help put it all on?
