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

I've had tint on every vehicle I have ever owned in Indiana. 20% all around right now (on top of the factory back tint)

When I do get pulled over, I always roll every window in the vehicle all the way down. Then maintain eye contact with yes Sir/mam. I have yet to have anyone say anything about my tint.

For that matter when I was a police officer, it wasn't even on my radar. neither were seat belts. You can ride a motor cycle without a helmet, but you better have you belt on. Get real Indiana.

There are only 6 laws in Indiana that you are required to enforce as a sworn officer of the state. Non of the above is on that list. LoL

 

the garage will collapse.

 

I had a set of 265/65/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers mounted up. I went from a 30.5 X 10.3 factory tire to a 31.54 X 10.71. I am also running spidertrax 1.25 wheel spacers all around. Only rubbing so far was the mud flaps. I haven't flexed it yet, Ill get that done before we head on our camping trip in a few weeks. We did smash some narley pot holes on the south side of Indy last night. No new rub marks when we got home. LoL

500 mile review: I love everything about these tires. Road noise is non existent until you get over 65 mph. So far they have done well in 100 degree weather and a little rain. They look so freeking awesome! I do have a very slight pull to the right, planning to hit up the firestone lifetime alignment. And the truck does seem to wonder a little more than it used to, over 70 mph. Wife didn't notice either of these things when she drove it, so typical me being obsessed with perfection.

$1008 out the door. There were a few other sizes that were a smidge cheaper, but these were the best size for my needs at this time.

Betty at the fair.

 

I feel like ticketing for tints is just a cash grab. There's no rhyme or reason to it. My dad's Mustang GT has some pretty serious tint on it and has yet to be pulled over for it for the past three years of ownership. Luckily the police here don't care about tint.

 

People get all hung up on officer safety. If I rolled up on a car that gave me the wrong vibe, or didn't roll their window down. I would just get on my megaphone and instruct them to roll the window down and stick their hands out of it. Before I ever walked up. There you go, now I am safe ish.

Bad people are going to do bad crap, no matter what you do about it.

Custom-made bumper.

 

You area MUCH braver man than I am.

I would never show my welds on a forum

 

Brr in January.

 

MOBTOWN OFFROAD front bumper installed!! Baja fogs and light bar wired and Smittybuilt winch wound tight!

 

I use the Hydro2 as well. I jumped to using that from CarPro's Reload, which takes longer to apply and doesn't last nearly as long. Hydro2 is just a bit pricey though. I've been using it since I ceramic coated my truck a couple years ago.

 

Finally got some time to love on my Tacoma. My 91 Miata has been stealing all the attention.
Took out the garbage aftermarket headlights and put in some restored OEM headlights and taillights. The clear coat on the ebay suckers shit the bed months ago. Much more better...

Looks good. Hard to tell from the pics but ensure there is about an 1/8" gap between your bumper and fender flares.

That's the best color IMO!

 

Looks good. Sucks that Mobtown stopped making their plate bumper. I know they said people weren't ordering them. Can't blame them for that.

 

I guess I was one of the last. Makes it a collectors item. Only mall crawling then, I guess. Can’t lose value on such a rare thing.

 

New shoes!
I finally got rid of the shitty stock Dunlops. I was looking for a street tire with a little grip in the snow and went with the Continental TerrainContact A/T 265/70R16.

 

Not today but last Friday hit a small milestone.

 

I wish I knew how to weld

 

Removed my front flares while I wait for my 315s to come in.

 

SteelCraft Elevation rear bumper with additional stop/turn/brake lights. Also installed led light bar to light up the “Steel Craft” laser cut in the bumper.



If you rear end me and tell the cop you did not see me. I want a sobriety test done on your @ss.

 

simple, yet so bad a$$
