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

Yeah, I was worn out after about 7 hours working on it yesterday. The doors are probably going to take a full day and then the rear wall. I'm drawing the line there, not going to do the roof. But man, what a difference in sound!

 

Do the roof, that’s a huge harmonic vibration factory. Plus it will help keep the cabin cooler in the summer.

 

Installed my new nerf bars. Plasti-dipped my rear chrome bumper.

Finally no more chrome left on it.

For sure Frank's truck! Everybody knows Frank's truck!!

The stuff legends are made of!

 

Bought powertank’s “six shooter” knob to upgrade that basic bitch plastic knob. Billet aluminum anodized red. Also put the softopper back on sans front window.

Just realized my 40 oz Yeti fits in the OEM cup holder snug....just upside down.

 

My 40 oz hydro flask fits in that spot if I take the rubber inserts out, not sure about the Yeti, but it might.

 

Hammered my firewall and resealed it with silicone and spray painted it black with spray bed liner.

 

Fluid film fall spray. 150k and no rust

 

will be doing this in 3 weekends.

 

ya, i just dont want to take the insert out every time.

 

Have a big hammer lol. Makes it easier

 

ME TOO. Yesterday I got my tires rotated and the mechanic says my sway bar end links have some play and he thinks they might go soon. I also have 37K on my truck and I just pm'd Mike ( @mstudt ) a few minutes ago to see if he's taking orders. Apparently he makes a solid product according to folks' recommendations.

 

I'm always taking orders, and have a large amount a links sitting on the shelf. These are a stock item for me, and I ship the next business day.

only had to use them twice but they are pretty tough.

 

Added a new decal in the A.M. put new shoes on in the P.M 285/70/17, starting to look the way I imagined

 

Ya it's super easy, you just add the tint, add the hardener, shake well and spray.
The texture can be adjusted using air pressure and amount of trigger pull.
I did both my bumpers, mirrors, flares and door handles for less than 100 bucks, and I still have a whole bottle left.
The cure time is as fallows,
The first hour it sets up and becomes soft to the touch, the next hour it is fairly hard and can be handled no prob, by the next day it's hard as steel, but according to the label isn't fully cured for a couple days.
I put all my stuff back on my truck the same day, very doable
