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

If you ever rode out here to the house,as you’ve been invited to do, you may not want to go back to the city. It’s quiet here, yard and woods to play in, housing is much cheaper, only a couple miles outside of town, and space for a garage to entertain yourself in.




I’m not saying anything about my 65 mile 1 way commute. There are commuter busses or vans

 

Seems like I get out bid or bank won't finance cause of house issues. Yes one that I looked at the house was a waiste black mold everywhere. Having to use a va loan they are picky. Bankruptcy 2 yrs ago after divorce. Hating renting threw 36k in the garbage to my landlord so far nothing to show for it.

 

Rather have a long commute than looking out my window n seeing someone else's house.

 

We've got the Dicks store brand one as well, bought it last memorial day weekend before a big camping trip when it was on sale and I had one of those $20 off coupons. (bought some Merrell's that day too) Its held up well so far, my only word of advice is if you use it around sand; dont let the sand get up in the legs. It will cause it to bind up. We usually pour some water on the legs before collapsing it. We also bought a set of these that worked great with sand from the beach. The wind coming of the Atlantic can be rather brisk at times.

I’ve used a va loan on both of the houses we bought. Yes they can be very picky but it’s to your advantage it protects you a bit. Shame about the divorce I guess depending on your perspective. I, personally have always decided to buy instead of rent for this very reason. I’d much rather put the money in my pocket instead of somebody else’s. To each their own some folks have no desire to ever own like some have no desire to have a yard to work in or even really go outside for that matter

 

For a little more money you can get the canopy with screened sides which is removable.

 

Sadly I still have to do that, look out to others houses, but there’s woods in between at least

 

My favorite "mod" to date: a new key chain. I can do a little write-up on it if anyone wants to try to replicate it! took some 2 hours of labor and $13 or so total, so nothing too bad. Still need to run the actual keychain wire through it, but wanted to do a few more clear coats first; should be done tomorrow!

 

Not yet, but i have a yukon i can drive around till i find out.

let me know which 1 you get , i want one that will start recording when said vehicke is turned on and only keep like 24 hours recorded

Thanks man! I appriciate it.

Ive had my annoyances with the tacoma, mostly being the milage and the big payment. Also the problens i shouldnt have had with how many miles i had. Crank seal leak at 70k , warped rotors at 22k miles, headliner was flaccid enough to sag 2 inches(before i ever put audio in there)

 

Let me know I may be interested in parts from the truck. Or price to buy it from insurance company.

 

Ok last night did some measuring n checking. Was hoping my Ramsey 12k winch will fit my tacoma. Nope power steering pump too small. Frame rails too close together so now will be looking for a m10 warn or something similar. Started my bumper build with a foot forward winch setup. Should have checked that first.

 

I'm looking at getting this one. https://amzn.to/2riDB5v Looks like a lot of bang for the buck.

 

Does look pretty good

 

@ManBeast quit being a pussy and milking this accident, it's not even that bad..

All seriousness, sorry to hear man. I'd be heartbroken if someone even t-boned my baby. Hope everything works out!

 

We'll see

 

i dont think you have to worry, they are standard on newer tacomas in plugging the frame holes, here is a photo to check if you have them in the front at least. The kit was 35 bucks and covers the front outer/inner frame as well as the cross members

 

Can someone share the link of the thread for the a-pillar ram mount... I cant find it.

 

CVT Mt. Denali Extended RTT installed. Ready for camping
