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

Just be aware... if you ever move to NY you’ll need to have the sway bar installed to pass the state inspection... ended up having to buy a new one since mine was removed back in 2014. Passed inspection in NH, WI, MA all without it though.

 

I wasn’t taking NO for an answer.

 

Don’t think that’s ever going to be a problem here in AZ

 

Not going to be moving to NY in this lifetime. Florida’s inspection consists of...oh yeah...nada! Thanks for the head up though. Add NY to my list of not gonna states, MA, MD, CA and any other state that doesn’t allow Class III devices or weapons. Commies!

 

Finally gave my circa 2005 Leer 100XR topper some love in the form of...new latch and lock mechanism, new LED third brake light, new hydrolic lifts and a good cleaning. It was looking pretty rough after another Northeast winter.

 

Really? What color is that?

 

To be honest , I cheated. I gave it to my buddy who owns a body shop. But with that being said, he sanded it, primed it, sanded it again then sprayed it lightly with Light even coats and drying in between. Then after that cleared it.

Although if I didn’t have him do it, I would’ve just looked for a color matching vinyl wrap on eBay and wrap it myself. That might last longer in your environment .

 

Just finished 3D printing an iPad mini mount I designed to fit over the top of factory unit while charging and connecting to audio. I can use the iPad for music, Maps, etc... pretty excited about it.

 

Well that's pretty cool

 

Where the hoodie come from

 

Their merch store had ridiculous prices during the TRD anniversary sale too.

How do I get one?

 

I want one for the 9” iPad

 

Damn wish I had seen that- what was the price for the hoodie during the sale?

 

Why did you have to cut it apart?

 

I keep seeing all these states that fail inspection for all these weird things and NC is so lenient about that stuff. What about cars that didn't come with sway bars from the factory? Also what's the law that states you have to have it? I would read up on all of that and make sure the inspection station isn't just being over zealous about it.

 

Black badges! Not really a mod but i love how such a small change can make a huge difference.

 

I hear you, I could walk into the BMV and register a VIN plate. Literally the little plate. With no questions asked. Ok one question, proof of ownership.
I would have to have turn signals, headlights, brake lights ect.... to avoid the Police.
