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

Hoist installed for RTT + rack. Still need to add the support chains though...




Will be leaving the bed rack and RTT attached together, and lifting it as one complete unit.

 

Added a tiny bit of snow to mine. Made for a fun drive to work.

 

That's assuming everyone is a DIYer or wants to be one. People's opportunity costs obviously differ and that's why they can charge so much for the bed stiffners. Same thing with the PC example.

 

Assuming would have been a better choice of words. Fixed.

 

I make shiny.

No sir it's the work of @EddyRRT SOS concepts bumper

 

I can't wait for mine to be done!

 

Sharp looking truck except for that orange sticker in the window! Go Dawgs!

 

Taco w/ extra salt.

 

Hopefully it’ll hold up.

 

Seen this on TW before, so I was prepared lol. I had installed a white bulb (previously removed from the 3rd brake light) as a stopgap while waiting for the amber LEDs to arrive. That bulb fit loosely, so I wrapped some electrical tape around it to build up the dia.

 

Getting tired of the leak coming through the tailgate....

The Gap

My Solution


and then trimming of the thick portion so the tailgate will close completely.... still gonna re-cut a few more strips more neatly... and waiting for a good rain to see if it works

 

First mod of the New Year for me is an interior mod.

I hope those amber LEDs work out for you. I'd like to know how bright they are and how close the color matches the DTRLs. (cause you know I like amber)

I went through a few different styles before I found some that were rated for continuous use for side markers. Most of the ones I found were apparently meant to be used only for turn signals (intermittent operation) and would overheat and dim.

I finally found these and have been using them for a couple years now.

changed engine and transmission fluids. took about three trips to the local auto parts store and several videos on youtube but i finally got it figured out!

 

Thanks! 40 is turning out to be rough, down in my back and therapy for my shoulder. I’ll get over it though!

 

@06yotota welcome to TW!!

 

Crap you sound like a copy of me. 40 is when shit started falling apart and 11 years later it still is. Shoulders knees back hips yippee this getting old crap aint for sissies

 

If you think 40 is rough, just wait until you hit the big 50. I thought 40's were bad but they were a piece of cake compared to my 50's.

 

Parked it... Got a company truck so the tacoma will only be seeing weekend use, and only when I'm not on call.
