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

Did more research on what parts to buy for my navigation install.

 

Thanks! I luv it!

 

Suddenly decided that I can’t stand the chrome surround on my OEM Grill. I like the OEM + look but until I do a full satoshi this will have to do. I think it looks 100x better. I tend to prefer the simple & clean looks.

6 coats of black PD
1 coat metallizer PD
3 coats glossifier PD

 

good job you did a great job

 

Very nice job! It’s always tough to successfully paint over chrome.

 

Finally installed my d rings in the bed.

 

Looks good, hopefully the rocks don't attack it as much as mine, ended up just bed lining it

 

Installed a Smittybilt 9.5K winch and cb radio/whip.

 

You know you can knock those washers off the bolts then put the D-ring on then put the washer back on.

 

Went over to @Red Baron place today despite the temps in the 30s drizzly rain we/he Derped my hood, we installed my new CB and diag. my old one as being shot, and I replaced my inner and outer tie rods. Yes I know I need a new rack boot just forgot to order a new one when I bought the tie rods can do that another day though.

 

I did not know. How do I go about that? It would definitely clean it up.

 

Loosen the bolt up to the point that the washer can slide past the retaining threads and get a socket big enough to fit over the head of the bolt then hit with a hammer until it is free. It will bend the washer a tiny bit but just put it on the same side up as it was and it'll flatten out when you tighten the bolt.

 

Cool man thanks for the tip, I'll try it.

 

Too bad we cant just flip the tie rod. But nice truck. Been thinking about doing an old school flat black hood. Now it got moved to the must do.

 

Do you mean flip the outer from mounting below to on top of the spindle? Why would you want to? You can I have some tapered cutters for making tapered holes for ball joints, tie rods, etc. The only issue is it'll be on a different arc pattern and you could introduce some bump steer into it. Toyota did a good job with their joints all being in a good arc pattern to not have bump steer issues.

 

I added seat heaters and Clazzio seat covers. Next weekend I'll have to actually wire in the seat heaters.

 

Nice shot. 360 camera on a drone?

 

Damn nice! I'll send you my pro grill if you want more practice.

 

Looks like a badass, Nice truck too....
