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

Which salvage yard? I'm in the east bay as well

 

I located it through www.car-part.com and it pointed to Benzeen Auto in Rancho Cordova on Recycle Road...its salvage yard heaven.

 

What mount is this??

 

I mean at least it's demonstrating an active lifestyle....I had a pretty good laugh at this one:
Fat tire electric bike on a Fridgeline!? I guess one bad decision deserves another!

 

That's actually a gravel bike. The frame has more clearance for knobby tires. Definitely capable of riding mild single track trails. I've tackled some pretty rough trails with my gravel bike.

My baby:

 

Get cooper 315s, they're 34s.

 

Installed my Brute Force HC rear last night. I'd say my cuts were pretty straight. I leveled the bed and used a laser level for the cut line.

 

That first cut must be a little nerve racking! Good looking rig, where in the Great State are you located? I'm near Ft. Worth.

 

Thanks man! I'm 30 min outside Beaumont.

 

I will be in the future. I also am going to get a winch set up too. Crunching the numbers, it was more economical to go with the heavy lift first (instant off roading improvement) then get a less expensive kit to replace it for the heavy duty in a year or two.

 

Nice ride, my buddy just picked up a Surley gravel bike and swears by it. If you're looking for a camelbak or riding jerseys I'm looking to sell mine, just haven't posted them yet.

 

I picked up a skid plate for 75$ on OfferUp the other day. Painted it black with high heat Rustoleum.

 

Looks good!! That cut on the tail pipe is a nice touch too. What'd you use, a sawzall or pipe cutter?

 

Disliked an image

 

Bumper, winch and cleaned it up.

 

Just ordered a Vivid 20" light bar for my bumper with all the color changing things lol was going to get a rigid since my 4 pods are all rigid but figured I'd save a little and try them out. Plus it flashes and stuff lol

What bumper is that?

 

Check out this related piece of automotive history....

"In 1952, Karl Kling and Hans Klenk entered a prototype Mercedes-Benz 300SL in Mexico's Carrera Panamericana open-road race. They covered over 1900 miles of atrocious pavement at an average speed of just over 100 mph. They hit a buzzard at one point, destroying the SL's windshield and knocking Klenk unconscious. When he came to, he urged Kling to keep going. Forty-three miles later, they finally had a chance to stop and cleanse the car — and Klenk's face — of blood, bird bits, and shattered glass. The duo won the race, entering history as the most steely-eyed pair of Germans to ever set foot in los Estados Unidos Mexicanos."

Sorry, I am months behind in this thread and trying to catch up so forgive me if it has been asked before, but do you have a picture of how the bracket under the hood mounts? I am wondering if I can adapt a bracket to be used for a front hold down line when I transport kayaks. Thanks!

Edit: And sure enough, a few posts later was the video which shows exactly how it is mounted......Thanks!
