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

excuse my noob question. what is this for? been seeing steel wire from bumper to roof what does it do?

 

Here in the central states we have allot of green vegitation on out trails, these act as "limb risers" to help push small stuff out of the way. Not necessarily a must have, but a very nice upgrade.

 

Looks great! I love Meguiars polish and wax. Also try NOVUS if you have bad scratches in plastic. Makes it look new.

I'm in Sault St Marie Ontario. I found some sick atv trails and dove in. 35 degree slopes, rocky River crossings and wilderness all around. Went in as far as I could without risking damage and getting stuck. Awesome time, beautiful landscape, too many mosquitoes.

 

For what, the truck he linked to me?

 

Didn't met any atv riders? Thought about doing it too in my area but if I am in the path of an atv driver I would get a blast.
I know it because since I do pay my annual pass to access the atv federation's trails I would ask an offroader to leave the trail since it is not truck dedicated... we need more truck trails...

 

Tested out a new sonar system to keep the truck's nose safe from damage. Videoed the test, so I could get comments

Yeah, almost $25k for a 2009. But then again that's bloated retail. We got my sons 2014 Tacoma for $26k

 

Rhinorack bars with snowboard/surf rod rack. Sweated bullets drilling holes in my cap, but no guts no glory I guess. Loving the ability to transport the rods horizontal and rigged without having to break everything down for the ride home. Install was smooth after some early issues.

 

I did meet a couple actually. They were super cool. I was heading back up a particularly steep, rocky part of the trail. They backed up and let me through. I commented about how I wouldn't have been able to continue down the trail due to the combination of ruts and rocks in the path ahead. He looked at my truck and said he was surprised to see me have made it that far. No issues whatsoever.

 

Finally got it stuck! Not just any old mud either. This was slick, loamy mud made from pasture runoff and decades of compacted cowshit. Smelled GREAT. I started having flashbacks to forgotten childhood memories on the farm. I don't even think 4WD would've gotten out of this slick. Thankfully, the tractor was only 200 yards away.

 

Ko2's and 4wd lo

 

if you want, i can make you a custom one for that setup and actually deliver quickly lol (and for half that price)

 

Tomorrow I'm getting a new air compressor and I'll be mounting it with a quick release mount in the bed, I'm wanting to be able to run it/fill the tank when I'm out on the trails, is it possible/too hard to install a 120 volt outlet in the bed? How would one go about this?

 

Your compressor is 220V?

 

120 v I fat fingered that

 

Most of us use 12V DC compressors. If you have a 120V one you could get an inverter and run it off of that.

ERAYAK 1000W Power Inverter DC 12V to 110V 3 AC Outlets with 3.1A Dual USB Ports Modified Sine Wave Converter for Home/Office/Car/Travel

Here's one as an example, although it's just one of the first things that popped up when I searched.

 

It lifts branches and brush away from the truck. In the PNW we usually don't bother with them cause w get so scratched up from the low branches anyway.

 

Started the day off and got my Ray10s mounted (thanks to @YodasTaco)

Then installed some retrofits from @hyper15125


And after all that I decided to give it a bath and a new cabin + air filter.

Completely changed the way it looks with just a few changes


(hope the pictures come up ok )
