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

Hey Greg, where did you bought that sticker??? Truck is looking awesome BTW!!!

 

He's using a Cobra 75 handheld so the mic plugs into a little power box that the antenna coax also plugs into, so it's not a direct wire into the antenna. Midland makes a handheld that does but I've read less than stellar reviews about it compared to the cobra.

 

I want a skid plate!!!

 

Made a custom steel plate for my cb radio to be recessed into the cup holder area and then bed-lined it. Turned our great. Ran all the wires under the carpet. I know.... I have only like 11 cup holders now

 

Towed with him for the first time from Norfolk, VA to Pensacola, FL. He did great with the 3300 lbs behind him! I averaged 14 mpg the whole way down.

 

Stickers came from. Far North by Design.
This one is the rear view of an AR 15 bolt.

Raymond will take care of your stickers even if it costs him money........long story.

 

Nice! Welcome to FL
I towed with mine for the first time a few weeks ago too

 

Thanks! I just got stationed here but so far I'm liking it. I was here in 2012 for school, but is a whole different animal being here as an 'adult'

 

haha I bet, here is a good thread if you aren't subbed yet. they meet often

Stay away from @Alfuh , I heard bad things about him j/k

 

Thanks added some bed lights and with the canvas it lights it up pretty good

 

Very well done! If I had an AT I'd be stealing your idea in a heartbeat!

 

I finally got around to cutting off the 2"+ extra length on the rear axle U-bolts. I installed 1" blocks a while back and put on new U bolts that would have accommodated 3" or more.

I also bead blasted a TRD front skid plate to remove paint that wasn't sticking very well, then put on an epoxy "aluminum" paint, followed by plastidip "matte clear" finish to make it look like bare aluminum. Will be mounting the skid plate next time I have a bit of free time.

Then I spent a little time searching Ebay, Craigslist, and TW classifieds looking for deals on sliders, front lift kit items, winch/winch mount, bed mat, and any number of other items. Did I mention I LOVE bargains?

 

Nice job! I think that is one of the cleanest I have seen.

 

technically today, finished working around 1

decided out of the blue to try and build a front bumper, its far from done but for one night its not bad. Gonna make the sides out of tube

 

I extended my AC condensate drain hose.

 

Did you POR your frame?

 

I applied Fluid Film with a brush since I don't have access to a lift or compressor. I then used the spray cans with the 360 degree nozzle to coat the inside of the boxed section. This is exactly the reason I extended the AC drain. I didn't like that the stock design basically funneled water into the boxed section of the frame.

 

dat flex...

official mall crawler status awarded

 

I did something similar with a HAM Radio and scanner. I don't miss the cup holders.

 

Got the wheels facing forward and the steering wheel straight again. First alignment since taking delivery.
