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

I picked one up on ebay for around $12. If your try to source one from the dealership, they want $80+ for one...

I had to replace mine after I broke the tab off trying to straighten in out again for inspections. It lasted about 7 years being bent and then straightened.

 

Found one at Advance Auto for $15

 

Installed a color matched grille to get rid of the chrome. Thought it was MGM but it might be the grey from the base model or my eyes are playing tricks on me but it seems the greys are off. What do you guys think?looks more noticeable in person.

 

added some leds under the truck. ( puddle lights )

 

To be fair, a portion of it is getting donated to The Patriot House in Fort Worth, TX. They provide food/shelter for homeless veterans in the area. I'm on a committee at my work that is doing a fundraiser to buy them a new grill. We'll be bringing them a couple hundred pounds of charcoal on top of it.

Grillmaster and, hopefully, pitmaster, too! Stocking up for some personal and practice cooks and then we will be gearing up for competition this Labor Day. The bulk of this will be going in to smokers.





(To be fair, the win was for the "smaller" Backyard BBQ event that weekend. We held our own against the big dogs, though.)

 

Oh, and so as not to derail the thread, I picked up some Weathertech liners from @TXTaco13 earlier this morning. Thanks for taking the time to meet up today!

 

Put on my allpro packrack and a shovel (waiting on my tepui tent) and took my roof rack off cause it was racks on racks on racks overkill.

 

Long bed? More pics!

 

Installed seat covers today.

 

Yeah definitely different. I'll see if it bugs me enough to buy new.

 

Tailgate reinforcement plate & cap by mobtown off-road. That what I have. I believe somebody else makes one too but I can't who. Wanna say it's by relentless Fab....

 

Yeah I've seen some of them, probably just going to go the poor mans route and try to pull it straight. Then weld in some supports. Are there any threads you're aware of where someone has successfully repaired this?

 

Truthfully I don't have a clue.

 

Short bed

 

Washed the taco today...

 

Nice to see another one. My old Corolla fully shaved and a lot more done

 

My first patch.

 

Yea those were the ones I was debating on instead of the led bars. They look awesome too

 

Removed the oval OEM side steps - didn't use them - and liking the way the truck looks without them.
