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

Washed it!

 

You missed a spot.

If you come to Missouri, I'll show you exactly where.

 

Well it’s not too terribly difficult - takes some work, and you do need a lot of patience in order to do it. The hardest part was getting all the plastic clips to disengage on the actuator when splitting it in half. I didn’t completely split it, and ended up using a piece of metal to hold it open. I didn’t replace the dc motor, I just opened the motor and cleaned the brushes, works like a charm but if you have the motor, I would just replace it. Probably easier!

 

After install of topper and side steps..
The topper - Undecover SE
The side steps - Westin

 

Painted my chrome grill surround black and gave it a test drive through some mud. Scratched the still curing paint and decided that was fortuitous as it wasn’t the look I was going for anyway. Black grill surrounds look good on a lot of trucks, just not my magnetic gray, IMHO. I sanded it back to chrome.

 

Nice pics! Looks like eastern Oregon in the top pic and California in the bottom one.

 

I was thinking Mount St. Helens in the bottom pic. The barren trees remind me of the surrounding areas.

 

So I made a template today to make my own cross bar for these @ARCHIVE hammer hangers. Cut out some 1/4” steel templates took some measurements on the truck. Changed my mind on the tubing and decided to use some 2” dom square tubing. A little heavier than the pipe, but it’ll be a beast of a cross support. Finish it tomorrow at work, stay tuned!! thanks for the inspiration @EatSleepTacos

 

Looks bad ass!!

 

Added a second Plano case with my new to me driveshaft and other spare parts.

 

Tire rotation!

 

Working on having two Drive cams. Pictures to follow when install is complete.

 

Beautiful truck.

 

Took advantage of the warm temperatures in January. Gave it a nice bath.
