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

Somebody have some cash to blow? I wish I could order all the stuff I want at once. My wife told me I need to hold off buying stuff! Haha

 

badass!



where do you offroad?

 

Who'd you get this thru rick? Decent price?

 

Yeah man. Sold my 08 STi about a month ago. That's my toy money. I also did some responsible things, too... I finished siding my house. That should keep the ol' lady at bay for a bit! Haha! Really though, she's cool with it. She says, "it's your money, you worked for it. Now have fun with it, if that's what you want to do".

Thanks, man! I haven't yet. I went to Rausch Creek recently with a bunch of friends with Jeeps for Trail Fest. One hell of a time! Gave me the "fever" instantly. Came home and started researching / buying! I have a friend that's in Mohawk Valley Off Road Club (I think that's right). He's going to be showing me some Tacoma friendly spots to wheel. We should hook up sometime and get some dirt on the tires. If you want, PM me your info and I'll give you a call when we go.

 

Yeah man, Theres a local guy who sells bars on craigslist. They are Hanma which is a Chinese brand but they do have CREE led's in them and seem to be built really strong. I mean its probably not quite as good as a Rigid but for me it will do just fine. For a 50" curved its $299. pm me and i'll give you his info.

 

I wish I could get my wife to say that... Maybe if I finish the projects she keeps asking me to do she'll let me reward myself. Haha

 

Tightened a UCA bolt that came loose after 500 miles of washboard gravel roads...

 

Installed a 250A alternator and Goodyear Gatorback belt today. New alternator puts out the advertised juice to keep my 160A stereo at full crank, way higher than I normally listen, at idle. Cruising, it doesn't even break a sweat. Install pics and guide will be in the technical section when I'm off the tablet, and on the computer.

 

I replaced the engine air filter for the first time. 20k service at the dealership and they wanted ~$100 to do both the engine and cabin filters. Uhhh, no. Bought the engine air filter there for $22, then came home and ordered an OEM cabin filter from Amazon for $17.

 

Installed a borla pro xs exhaust

 

Have the Same setup..you wont be disappointed...

 

Pricing out TRD BBK. We'll see if my dealer can beat the current best price I have. I may order the kit tomorrow.

 

Nice truck

 

^^THIS

 

Two words........Prepaid Visa

She doesnt have to know. Of course you have to save some cash on the side.

Haha. I'm in the same boat, as are most of us.

 

Haha.. she doesn't have to know until I get tons of boxes showing up with truck parts in them...

 

...keep dreaming, she'll just think ahead to your next project and wonder why it's not done yet! Same as always

 

NICE! will do

 

I just put one on myself... Check out my build thread for the install pics...

 

Dammit man!! Why cant I have a Ballaculla living near me?? Thats really nice man.
Those are the Relentless brackets right? I actually have some Delrin spacers in my garage that should work perfect for the compression thing. I'm hoping my install goes well. I'll be PM'ing you for advice on hiding the wires in the pillar. Thanks man!
