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

Like @05Taco4x4 said paint it black. I have 2 shelves sitting aside waiting for a project to use it for...

 

Color matching. Well, had hoped to complete over the course of the two day weekend, but looks like it’ll be a couple more days to get it the way I want.

Above is just removed from grill.

Below is two days of prep, painting, and sanding between coats. Used some 120 to rough up, and 320 between coats. Guess I should have used even finer wet paper as I can still see sone sanding streaks. Will add another coat of paint, or two, and then the clear coat.

 

Got rid of the front Baja suspension swapped the front shocks out to ADS and swapped the lower control arms out for a set of dirt kings. Oddly enough the ADS dropped the front of the truck a bit need to crank them down when I install my TC upper control arms. On the plus side it does ride like a Cadillac with such little preload makes me want to run 35"s for extra clearance and leave the coil overs where they are at...

 

Improvised cleats

 

Replaced the carrier bearing.

 

I have 8 of factory ones. 2 I use bolt tool box down. 2 mounted to front of toolbox & then 2 on each side. 3 on eachside I can use when toolbox isn't mounted

 

Toyota is pretty proud of those cleats... Plus, someone stole my set so...

 

Got it just a little dusty.

 

They work perfectly too. I live then!

 

@Jfeck2488 What a great idea that Tacoma shortened TACO on the the tail gate.

 

All 3 of those are shocks so..... The shoe!!

 

Jesus, what a beautiful place!!!!
Beetles get those trees or a fire? Looks like some sort of insect infestation.

 

Wheeled it!

 

big fire a few years back, things have come back in nicely

 

All kayaked up

 

Nice boat

 

What kind of ladder racks? Are they mounted on the cargo rails?

 

Now that she's back on her feet, Can't sit around and look pretty all day.. back to overdue side work..
