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

Anyone on here ever considered lining the inside of the roof with dynamat? I've noticed here in southwest Texas that when it storms it's so damn lout inside that it's hard to carry a conversation or listen to the radio. I know, get a louder stereo system. lmao! I'm thinking of that too but thought about doing the dynamat in the roof as well. Any thoughts? Just looking for ideas.

 

Oil change and attempted fixing my squeaky leafs (just the passenger side at the moment). So far so good, I did the "loosen the u-bolts and retorque while weight is on them" method and also spread the leafs with a pry bar and chisel to spray in some graphite paint/lube

 

I can't remember the user, but someone on here has done it. He said it helped significantly.

 

Installed a new radio.

 

I did my roof with shok industries deadner, its definitely worth doing. I have pictures uploaded in my profile.

 

Installed new speakers. Jl audio c2650 front and rear. Jl 10 behind passenger seat with a Jl 700x5 amp in driver side. And washed the truck

 

What's your opinion on the gearing with 285?

 

Hopefully you didn't touch up the paint on the standard bar

Regearing is always a good idea if you get bigger tires but some people might not see the ROI in it for a DD.

 

You beat me to it.

Def not hating on anyone for their opinions and they are absolutely good, sensible thoughts and I'm glad other people think of this stuff as well before doing a particular mod.

I think in the case of the OP and myself, where the only passengers consist of my wife, in the passenger seat, this is a great choice. I dont even keep the headrests on my back seats so I can see out of the back glass with my rearview mirror (I also have a 35" on a tailgate swing out so I prefer as much vision as possible). I also will remove my rear seats sometimes depending on the trip to provide more room in the cab for items (and so I do not mess up my seats).

Again, not for everyone, but the airbag deploys from the rear, down and around, and joins with the front, below the handle in the rear seat, as the video shows.

To each their own.

 

Installed Clazzio covers in the Access cab. Not as difficult as I expected but glad there were only two seats. Lots of tugging and smoothing to get it perfect especially around the center console. They do look great and are more comfortable than the original seats.

 

Get a bed mat here best deal I've seen on a new one. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2005-to-2016-tacoma-oem-bed-mat-75-00-shipped.432378/

 

I haven't had any problem with it. It still gets up and goes just fine. Can hold 5th gear on the freeway at 70 no problem. It does downshift a little more often up hills but nothing major. It's just as fast 0-60 as my buddies 2012 Mazda 3. And my girlfriends 2008 Jetta so that's good enough for me. And I can still haul fine. More now that I put in the aal

 

I love the hidden look. Where did you get that sticker at?

 

Gave her a bath and made the kids wash the wife's Jeep!

 

How me and my fam, and a bunch of other local member spent our weekend

Wash and wax today.

 

I got mine from @CBoy808 for very cheap.

 

Ebay

 

Tried my hand at plasti-dipping the chrome on my grill. Didn't come out to bad. I will probably redo it next weekend now that I've gotten an idea of how it works.

 

I got that one. It's pretty thick and my stuff no longer slides. Great purchase. I can actually lay down on it and don't feel the ridges from the bed
