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

Whatever you think will work for your application

 

I actually found the box locally, removing the plastic panels was a breeze! The box just pops right in. You do have to remove the top cushions in order to remove the plastic panels.

 

Anybody know anything about removing these? Came with the truck but are visibly dirty now and stick out pretty badly. Don't wanna mess up the paint by removing them incorrectly.

 

Yeah I just cut a whole there

 

try using a little bit of heat and then you'll need something to remove any leftover residue.

 

If anyone hasn't done the d-rings bed bolt upgrade, Amazon has a 4 pack of d-rings for $1.99 shipped, these require a little more work than the dodge rings but you cannot beat this price

I looked out of the damnwindow at mine all day cause it's raining and I can't drive for 6 f'n weeks

 

Went out of town for five days last week and came back to a truck covered in jacaranda tree sap. Happens every spring. Couldn't stand it, so I gave it a wash.

 

What did you have to do to get them to fit?

 

You have to ream out the hole a little and grind some ridges off the bed bolt, pretty easy here's the thread. Adding these allows one to strap down ATVs, gas cans etc. It is the first mod i did to my three tacoes. There is plug and play dodge d rings but they cost alot more, deets in the thread

Nice. Yeah those other d-rings are wayyyyyyyyyy over-priced.

 

Thats an awesome deal. When I bought them, the 10 pack was 20$. I needed 4 more at the time, but put off ordering more because all they had them as were singles and 10 packs.

These fit behind hte bed rails perfectly.

Just ordered the 4 I needed plus 4 spares.

 

Debadged the doors and gave her a wash and wax. I had previously debadged the tailgate and kept debating on the doors, finally decided to do it and I like the cleaner look better.

The only badges on the truck now are the OEM TRD Sport decals on bed and flag decals on front doors.

Wife told me to not remove the TRD decals so now I need to remove them because a man has to be a man!

 

Wasnt able to do it myself due to space/time/tool constraints but my mechanic hooked me up. took the dorman springs i was gonna send back and beefed them up with the remaining good steel from my factory packs and slapped them back on. Rides great and a hell of a lot better price than the stealership. Appreciate all the help all you guys gave me along the way.

 

I ordered a few extra too , at that price point you are paying postage

 

I need to buy a can of bedliner and some foam brushes so I can paint the weld points on my sliders... I looked under there this weekend and after only 2 weeks I see a tiny hint of rust.

Should be a fun project, laying on my back on some cardboard under my truck in the hot garage, tonight.

 

Put in LED reverse lights today




Very happy with them. Last week I changed the map and dome lights to LED, also.









Stopped at HD and got supplies for painting the bumper too.



Planted these for the wife while I was at it.

 

Where did you get the reverse lights? Ever since tinting my windows...

 

Haha!!!!

I got everything from @csjumper2003

Going to order the turn signals (rear) and some lights for the Rav4 next.
