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

Any shots from the front? Is that a light bar?

 

Yeah it’s the old Morimoto Xtorch bar...

 

No issues whatsoever; she runs like a champ with it. I use K&N filters all the way around and no issues.

 

Today was a play day

 

Another shot

 

Got the rear shocks swapped with 5100s, pulled the front bearings off and replaced. Put 5100s in the front with 883s, after taking the to the seized alignment cam bolts.

All new LCAs, ball joints, shocks, wheel bearings...done by myself in 7hrs (damn work calls slowed me down).

Did a short drive to test, and there is a clunk...I think I didnt seat the passenger coil completely...will have checked when alignment done.

 

Hi, nice looking truck. Where did you buy those “TOYOTA” emblem on your grill?

 

Building a sleeping platform for an upcoming partially-solo road trip. Still need to add hinges so I can fold out to a full bed.







Has anyone lined their platform in cordura? I'm worried about carpet getting moldy if I throw wet skis/boots and fishing gear back there

 

Get the same stuff your topper is lined in, from Home Depot. It's indoor/outdoor and holds up plenty fine to moisture. I've had it over a year with wet skis/bikes/fishing/hitchhikers/etc.

 

Sweet, that's easy. No funky odors?

 

None, you'll be good.

 

It's eezi awn and yes as Chris stated I had to weld and fab mount points on my bed rack to run it securely. Front runner are nice, it's what I would have gotten but after doing some research eezi awn was my choice

 

Did some maintenance today, fluids, lube, etc

 

Thanks! I ordered it online from some Toyota dealer. It’s a Land Cruiser emblem stuck on a HomerTaco mesh grille. Here is the emblem info - Part Number: 75311-90K00 EMBLEM RADIATOR GRILLE

 

Thanks man!

 

Do you know if the light from back is still visable? I checked them out this week and was hesitant if they luminated.

 

Looks good I like the placement, How was the install?

 

Took it out to support the last race of the season for the Bonneville Offroad Race Series. Recovered a few vehicles, put out a small brush fire from an exploded brake caliper off an 8100 class and watched a lot of good racing.

 

I couldn’t find a side bed bracket design I liked that didn’t have metal rubbing against the plastic bed, so I made my own. Some stainless, matching paint and a rubber isolator. Just waiting on the quick fist mounts to arrive and I’ll have the shovel and axe back in. $13 all in.

Then I mounted some old spots on the under side of the camper lid so I can see what I’m doing in the dark. Wiring to follow tomorrow.

And to top it off, gave the 4Runner some love with some new window stickers..

 

Stretched her legs this weekend out in the local desert
Finally got to leave for a night away from the hectic work life
