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

Had the TRD Beadlocks installed yesterday and I love them! I am running new TPMS sensors all the way around so I just have to do the clone switch and swap to the stock wheels with studded General Grabber AT2s when the seasons change. Grabbed BBQ on the way home for dinner and found this beautiful classic car

These wheels are PTR1835090
The lug nut kit is PTR27-35100
The TPMS are PTR42607-06012
Tire size is 265/70R16

 

Thanks @gabbo2112! I need to drive my truck more instead of cleaning it lol.

 

Just a wash. She still shines up good!

 

Nice, I’ve heard those are good tires. I’ve only had the falken wildpeaks and some K02s, which were only ok. For 295s, I've been looking at general grabbers or the nittos for the better price point. I'm bummed falken doesn't make a tire in that size, otherwise I wouldn't change.

 

First photo shoot since bringing her home back in February.

 

General grabber red letters r awesome ride, idk which nitto you’ve looked at but I hate my terra grapplers.

 

They're expensive, but I do like the grabbers and I've heard they perform nicely

 

Wired up the compressor switch. No more popping the hood to turn it on and off.

 

Yesterday I re-sealed my Truxedo LowPro QT and noticed that my tailgate and fenders were no longer parellel:


I'm the only owner and I've never had a shell nor has it ever been offroad. When I put the Tonneau cover on a few years ago they were parallel for the most part. Now they definitely are not. The Driver side more than the Passenger Side. I was thinking about putting @CaliRaisedLed bed channel supports on to square everything back up. Is it worth it?

 

It is a Canadian product I bought it through North Shore Offroad https://nsor.com/ in B.C. Canada the manufacturer is Westcan Manufacturing. Fully adjustable and tough, I rally the living fart out of it and we have had it for 2 years. Nothing is loose all aluminum and stainless steel hardware. Needs an adapter plate kit to install. It is an over canopy rack that uses the t-slots and the weight of the canopy to keep it secure. I use the total choas bed stiffness to keep the bed from flexing, thank you @boogie3478 for the referral on those. Good luck and happy Mudders Day!

 

I put the problem/no problem on today and the mud thirsty last Tuesday

 

Mounted my RTT for the first camping trip of the season.

Last year the spray on bed liner on the bed bars took some serious abuse from multiple tent mountings and adjustings, exposing raw metal, so I had to touch them up this year. This time I wrapped the mount areas with black duct tape, allowing mounting and adjusting without scraping off the liner.

I previously used lock bolts for the tent, several of these ended up freezing and required an angle grinder to remove. This year I used new grade 8 hardware with lock washers instead.

I also was never perfectly happy with how centered the tent was. This time I measured the outer edge foot of the bar, to the inner edge of the mounting channel. This allowed me to center the tent within 1/16” which is acceptable.

 

rear diff oil change

 

If you don’t find anyone on TW, check with local sign shops. I used to work at one in my area and we did decals for people all of the time.

 

Just bought it had one day to play. Installed a rear view monitor and garmin GPS.
Installed a light bar on the back of the camper cap the rear view camera, added a gun holster and led strip on the bottom front grill. We are setting this up for surf fishing and chilling on the beach so most of the other mods will be inside the cap. Adding two starboard pieces axeoss the top of the camper hanging a stereo and two 6x9 firing out the back of the cap. Using the second starboard in the front hang 4 surf fishing rods on it. Adding XM to the front and back same units just adding power and two antennas to the truck and a am/fm antenna behind the led bar on the rear.
Order a shovel mount for inside the cap, will add two batterys in the front of the bed for all day stereo and a white bright led light strip for night vision. Isulator for charging the two batterys while were running have a Honda 1000 eu will carry with us. Dash cover from advance its inbound now. Rest off e bay same deal, on its way. Have not decided where the front LED light bar will be yet. Might get a brush guard if I do it will go on there. If not, 52inch curved over the front windshield.
Ordered the bigger tires 265 75 16 and a 2 inch lift for the front and back.
Leaving the motor stock it's the GF truck. I just get to mod the hell out of it. I put down 2 g on it she makes the payments. I'm sure I'll have to deal with a sticker somewhere saying it's a girls truck sooner or later. Shes deserves it. Awesome little lady.

 

Awning added.

 

Details, please. Make, length?
