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

drove her to HRE open house yesterday, going to mfest in a hour or so

 

Clean! Been neglecting it for a couple weeks, stupid rain!

How I wish I could have got the double cab off road in canada

 

Drilling new mounting holes for my hybrid transfer case skid. It's a pain in the ass to drill through these frames and all of the other 1/4" plates. A short drill bit and a floor jack do take some of the pain out of it though.



I also installed rivnuts in the cross member to hold the center of the skid.





Now that all of the holes are drilled its time for some welding.

 

Played with my new euro chuck and filled my tires.

 

Damn...sucks to be you.

 

Very clever

 

Seriously, what did you use to clean that engine bay that good? I was thinking of getting a steam cleaner...

 

Installed this today-

 

Wonderful.

 

His truck is a 2012.

 

Bought a full size spare and rerouted my exhaust to just point downward so my tire would fit in the original spot.

Then finished mounting, wiring and running my airlines for my new ARB compressor


Put a Tee in so I have air on both the driver side and passenger side on the rails right in between the front and rear tires.


Because I didn't want the exhaust to melt the airline, I wrapped in pipe insulation and tucked it under the heat shield.






I want to get little covers for the quick connects so they don't get full of sand and mud. I'm stoked on how everything came out!!!

 

Love what you did with your air lines!! ^

 

Got my new Homertaco Grill and wired up the LEDs. You like?

 

Thanks pretty happy with how it came out

 

Decided to sell off the tube steel I added: light bar, sliders, pack rack.

 

Replaced my stock (but painted) Off-road wheels with a set of black TRD "Beadlocks" that I practically stole off a friend (sold for $250). Rattle-can bed-linered the beadlocks black and left the bolts silver. Wasn't expecting the backspacing to be different, but the wider stance is a plus! I like!

 

Now if ya had yer overfenders and chrome bumpers black it would be beyond awesome!
Looks awesome right now tho'.

 

Installed a Yada wireless backup camera in the front to act as an off-road spotting camera. Note: After some use, I do not recommend this setup, due to the mirrored image. I have since changed to a no-name action cam with wi-fi: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...our-tacoma-today.6499/page-3579#post-10768619

 

Removed bedside stickers to prep for new ones coming. Good exterior cleaning (303'd the tonneau, other plastics). Blacked out the emblem.
Thought about powder coating the steps black (they are grey now).
