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

Installed a heavy duty recovery tow hook from Bullet Proof Fabricating. Excellent quality/finish and fast shipping. Overall satisfied, but a little disappointed with two things:

1) BPF indicates that it utilizes factory hardware. IMO, not accurate. Purchased (3) M12x1.25x45 bolts, (3) flat washers, and (3) lock washers

2) Shipping was $30 dollars. Easily a USPS $5 ship

BFP heavy duty tow hook= $120
Shipping= $30
Hardware= $30
Warn 3/4" shackle= $26
Daystar D-ring Isolator= $23
Total=$229

Still prefer it over the light duty option!!

 

$30 shipping!! $5 flat rate box from usps...my ditch brackets were around $9 shipped from cbi, and they probably weigh the same if not more. I wanted to get one these, but that just turned me off easily.

Today's progress, wrapped up my black flares all the way to the bumper.

 

Replaced both front wheel bearings took about 4 hours total and gave it a bath. Like ice cube said today was a good day.

 

Installed rear differential breather modification. I ran the breather up into the rear taillight area. no drilling required and if I get into water that deep I have more problems than water in my differential. ;-)

 

Installed my US Off Road Bumper & Superwinch Tiger Shark 9500!

Winch has synthetic line and Factor 55 Flat Shackle.

 

Finished my color match stuff. I did all the emblems last week and did the "4X4" on the rear mud flaps today. I dig the way it turned out.

 

Greased the U joints. 2K on the ODO and took about 5 pumps each. Also set up the Rightline tent for the first time. I think it's going to work. Still need to build a sleeping platform.

 

Installed a rechargeable streamlight flash light and wired it up! I'm batting a 1000 today Woo Hoo

 

Do you have any type of lift? Did you have any cutting to do? Thinking about that size but BFG's

 

Tightened my LCA (rear)nuts. Lately I have been hearing some shifting or clunking up front while backing in and pulling out of my driveway or parking spots. Checked everything in the front end and sure enough those rear LCA nuts were pretty damn loose. Of course they were the last things I checked. No more noise now!

 

Mounted a fire extinguisher behind the back seat. Moved some tools over from my old truck, to my new one. Stored a roll of toilet paper in a zip lock bag, behind the rear seat also. Eagle Scout....."Be Prepared".

 

Finally got around to installing my quick fists

 

did the rigid d series fog light mod today
and installed 30" rigid e series in lower bumper grill

 

Dipped all my emblems flat black. First timer, will redo when I do the wheels in the spring.

 

Installed a Extang Trifecta Signature Series Tonneau Cover.... Appears to be made very well made and should meet expectations. Simple install and the black canvas looks great.

 

Ha Ha. I keep a roll behind my truck seat too. My girlfriend thinks it's a dumb idea. One day it won't be a dumb idea. Eagle Scout too.

 

Just installed an After Market Gentex Auto-Dim home-link compass Mirror from Bobs Automotive mirrors…

Perfect plug and play installation I will get some pictures up later after dinner…..

I have two rolls of shit tickets...you NEVER know...

 

Taught a rifle class for some guys. Makes my taco and technical right??? Also my new BFG Mud TA's are looking great. Stock TRD height and no rubbing. Size is 255/75/17.

 

Wouldnt that be nice to pull your truck into a nice clean, warm bay to work on your vehicle. Which dept?
