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

Somebody near PA needs to snag this deal (not mine just came across it this AM)

 

I’m not a topper fanboy but OMG that’s an awesome topper and an even awesomer price!!

I don’t do facebook. I’m interested, curiously. Dang! I wonder if he’s on TW? I’d drive from FL for that deal!

 

Closing down the cabin for the season. Winter is coming to northern Wisconsin.

 

Cut some aluminum and had my buddy weld them together for an easy way to mount Pro Eagle jack in my bed. Rolls right over the gussets and angle pieces and then I just strap it down.

 

Had a little time this morning so decided to add some paracord to the inside of my cap. Kits are available to do this but I ordered the parts separately off of Amazon and did it for about half the price. One little snag was that when the Thule rails were installed at the factory they apparently used screws that were longer than needed and just cut them with bolt cutters, so I had to replace all of the screws before I could install the eye nuts. Not a hard job but for a cap I just spent over $2k on it was kind of a pisser.

 

Red line hood struts. I like it!

 

Messing around with switch placement.
The fog light switch looked weird all by itself so I moved it to the lower panel and put the three CH4x4 switches together (none are connected yet).

 

Finally installed! Now to get beefier tires.. Taco squat til my rear LT gets here

 

Installed a pair of mega duty shackles...

 

Will be adding the same when I install my rear Mobtown Offroad bumper.

After working up in the woods for a few months I thought it would be good to treat the truck to a little something

 

Replaced pads/rotors. Wheel spacers sure do add some time to the job.

 

Ebay grille?

 

Dobinsons in the front. Toytec 1.5” blocks in rear. When I have $$, I’ll add Dobinson’s rear shocks.

 

Took her on a rainy trail ride after a short camping trip.

 

Can’t see spending 600+ on a swing hitch.
200in materials including a drop down table!!!

 

Front and rear brakes replacement/upgrade + full brake fluid flush.
Front: Stoptech Cryo slotted rotors/TRD pads
Rear: Powerstop drums/shoes/hardware.

 

Wish these ever came up in NorCal

 

That may be a bit out of range for Cali for sure.

 

Finally took mine out camping again, first trip up north with the toddler. Also, first camping trip in 2 years! Kids just have a way of killing all your hobbies when they first come, but now we get to enjoy it all together.
