007 TACO PRO ....

Got caught in a conversation I didn't want to be part of, and found myself busting all the corroded pieces underneath the antennae boot, and lathering it up with JB weld.. My only regret was not putting my beer within reach before I started..
Then filled the boot with some shoe glue and re-sat it approx where i thought it should go... It survived the day..?

 

I just messaged the local dealer and he said $65 for the base assembly, i did not think this was a bad price almost not worth messing with.

 

Oh, i figured it'd be more than that, for sure.. I don't use my AM/FM ever, and one look at this replacement guide and I just said nope. Not that invested, but for 65$ for oem replacement you also can't go wrong

 

I would of said 200$ but as this is a budget build I am going to try and not spend money on It as there are still some big items I have to buy. I will come up with a fix

 

So I have all the old stickers off the tailgate, you can see the bend.

 

I could fix as best as I could and then paint it black with white Toyota sticker. Or weld up old one

Thanks for the link but the antenna whip is not the problem, the base that the wip mounts to is my problem it is a common problem. It a mast that is behind the fender and the aluminum fitting that goes up through the fender. I do have a extra fender with mast from the all the Tacoma parts you can carry for $50 day

I will have to go look after supper

 

honestly I just assumed the one I linked came with new mounting hardware hahahaha that's the antenna I would like to get, it is a little shorter so it wont hit as many branches while on the trail hahah

Friday after work and taco is on ramps already !!!!! Ooooo what does tomorrow have in store ????

Apparently shitty wet snow and rain BUT taco will be dry for activities


Small print ( activities depend on how baby p is to Tonight / tomorrow, how much more I drink )

 

god damn I am so jealous that you have a dry place to work to get these mods done! I only have my driveways and its full of wet ice and snow and I have a pile of work I am just itching to get done!! gahhhhhh

 

My parts fender has a antenna on it but it just as messed as the one I have but in other ways. Also this is my garage at home it is FILLED


Bocsy44 I am very lucky to have access to the shop at work.

 

Took the old wheel cylinder apart and one of the pistons was rusted and not moving when the brakes were applied. From now on when I do brakes I will make sure that this is one of the things I check. Had to knock it free with a hammer. I have the tools home to rebuild the wheel cilinder but they are so cheep to buy $20 And in stock at the local parts store. I bet it would be a order item for the rebuild hit.

 

Spent the day spraying fluid film on the new frame on the 07, when Toyota did the frame they pressure washed all the rust check off. I also took down the tire on the 02 to give it a better coating. After 10 years of owing the 02 this is the first time I had the tire down

 

Also found this weird Toyota only replaced the drivers side sway arm link ....

As showe in the previous pictures, I am going to have to call them on Monday.

Also found this spacer and don’t know what it could be from diff drop but not big enough, skid plate spacer ?

Made about of aluminum

Your thoughts

 

This is for sale locally and i had to think long and hard about if i wanted it or not ..... ( I do but not for $2500) TOYOTA and comes with storage for TOYOTA parts ... win win ..... wife says something else .......
