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

I bought an ARE topper that's MGM (Believe same as yours) My truck is Silver Streak with black trim/wheels. The MGM topper has grown on me so much I probably won't paint it now. Yours looks good just as it is!

 

The trailer on the bed extender is priceless! I like the way you think!

 

What to Cali geeze....

 

Nothing to my tacoma just stalking my twss to see what he needs. Muhahahaha

 

How many years is that good for? That’s 10 years worth of registration here.

 

Mines white and I just got a used MGM shell that I’m plasti dipping white with glossifier.

 

That's the initial registration and tax. 6% of the book value (clean trade in value) despite the truck being in at best average condition. $76 a year for the registration.

 

The seat mod risers / spacers would make decent inexpensive Christmas gifts. Hint hint

 

Used it to rescue my moms beetle from its unfortunate position

 

Added 4.0L raised emblem to scoop of hood to give it an old feel and look. I wonder why they are putting in 3.5L engines in them now?

 

Replaced my gas cap after 130,000 miles for obvious reasons (Tacoma OCD and excess disposable income).

 

Just did some truck things... you know, the usual.

 

I am trying to find some feet? For my rails. I plan on mounting cross bars for a rtt. Just having a hard time finding the right ones for my rails. Hell i dont even know what theyre called lol. Can someone direct me to where i can buy them. Thanks!

 

Did my MAF and Throttle Body. Can someone tell me what size them acorn nuts are from the intake cover ? I couldn't see any nasty stuff on the MAF, but you can see 130k on the throttle body. I didn't think it looked bad for that many miles.

 

That throttle body cleaner is some nasty chit. Melted the tooth brush handle.

 

I like that fence. Looks nice

 

I dropped one of them acorn nuts , heard it tinkle down sounded like it made it to skid plate. Dropped skid plate, NOPE. Was on top of concrete floor and cannot find it. Guess it will bounce out in somebody's windshield. Felt all over and could not find it. So now chrome or stainless will replace them. Heck might make them if not easy to find.

 

Now that the bedliner is finally cured I put my interior back in. A couple spots I missed but overall I'm very happy with it.

 

Today, my friend and I installed a new rear 3rd member from ECGS with 4.88 gears, Eaton Detroit TrueTrac LSD, and solid pinion spacer. It rides smooth and regained the torque I lost when I went to 35s. On Monday, we installed the driver side fiberglass bedside. Next Sunday, we should be tackling the passenger side and finishing up odds and ends on the driver side like fitting the tail light and riveting/bolting in the gas neck holder and fuel door.

I've got a new gas cap to install on mine at 117,500, but mine is being replaced because I destroyed it when I removed the stock bedside. I forgot to take it out first. Oh well... They're cheap.

Looks good, Randy. You might want to consider some sort of rubber (liquid electrical tape maybe) for the bottom of the 2x4s, so they don't rub through the bedliner over time.

 

Good idea! Never considered that. I don't think it will be an issue since this stuff is so rugged, but I will certainly keep an eye on it.
