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

Built some custom mounting brackets for my awning, and got the bastard up and in place. In hindsight, I would definitely spend the money buying the actual ARB mounting brackets, but hey, built it with scraps, and have a pretty substantial mounting system. It was just a little bit too much work to be worth it. Apologize for the quality of the pictures, the sun was getting low and I was in a hurry to get some pics. I'll probably tear the thing back off and get the whole rig powder coated, but for now, it's finally on! Whole set up for rack, brackets and awning cost me roughly 315. For once my frugal ways have paid off.
P.S. if anyone is in the same boat I was today, I spoke with ARB and the ideal mounting height for the awning (if you plan to install the drop down room) is 1.9-2.1 meters

 

The uni filter mod.

 

Talked to Toyota and will be getting new leaf springs on both sides as "good will" since my drivers side broke two leafs for no apparent reason.

 

i was very tempted to get that detailed but knew someone else would

speaking of getting dirty, got her alllll types of muddy today. changing that tomorrow

 

Started cutting the fenders today for the 35s. Got the front done and will do bedsides tomorrow

 

I did the rear a week or two ago. I was cutting for a high clearance rear bumper and figured I might as well keep going while I had everything out. I still have my tiny little 265 winter tires on and it looks ridiculous right now lololololol

 

I think I'd have to be drunk to have the stones to hack at my truck like this. Looks like you're doing a good job though! Kudos.

 

Yeah... I'm not proud. Lol

 

I just hit 19,700 on my 2014

 

Nice lol! 35s will be on this weekend!

Thanks

 

I just turned 20k too. Some 2015's have been driven a lot.

 

Started sorting out my auxiliary fog lights. Got the mounts figured out, just waiting on the lights to show up tomorrow.

No one wants to be a 5 lug...

 

last week i put the canopy on, then my tepui ayer, then on the weekend i built some bed drawers and put the bed stiffeners in the back to just have a little insurance while wheeling. oh i also blacked out my wheels and badges. lots of diy this past couple weeks. broke as F$%& now though

 

Definetly I feel needs it if you have a scoop. I like the two tone even without.

 

I need to make 4 of these brackets and then I need to figure out something for a rear awning.

 

aw man, don't get me thinking about the rear awning... On the other hand, my tax return showed up in the middle of the night lastnight.

 

Don't you drive it?
My 2008 has over 305,000

 

Fixed that for you.

 

Yup everyday. work is 8 miles away. So she don't add to many miles.
