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

Installed my @victory4x4 bed and roof racks!

 

I am installing new speakers today. Should make a difference.

 

Blacked out the chrome Toyota emblems on the wheels. Still on the fence about how it looks.

 

I don't know if this has been posted yet but Bay Area Metal Fab is having a crazy deal on their 2nd gen steel plate bumpers that they posted on instagram a while back.



With the purchase of the bumper you get a set of Baja designs fog lights for free and if 50 or more people in october order the bumper then ONE person gets selected to get their bumper for FREE and will include a baja designs 30" light bar and a warn 10k winch.
I just saw on their page that 34 people have already placed an order this month and theres two days left to hit that 50 order mark.

Just thought I would throw this out there if anyone was in the market for a bumper and could potentially get $4k worth of upgrades for free haha

 

This past weekend the wife and I loaded up the camping gear and took it down to Brown County state park to get a few more nights of camping in before it gets too cold. Friday and Sunday were beautiful, Saturday it rained hard the entire day then we had 40-50mph wind gusts all night long. Needless to say neither of us got any sleep Saturday night. These RTT's are built really stout. All the ground tents around us were collapsed and the owners ditched in the night. The annex and tent held strong all night long. Few times I thought it was coming down but it held up. Definitely need to waterproof spray the thin annex and get some seam sealer on the seams of the tent.

 

New fuel tank straps. Rusted to crap from PA salt years...

Of course every GD bolt was seized and had to be ground off.

Old and rusted.

I love brown county!!!!! We take the kayaks and do a once a year guys trip to the other side of lake Monroe. The trails are pretty nice too for mountain biking.

 

Prepped and ready for fuel tank skid! I replaced my stock one this past summer with these off Amazon. $65 as opposed to others selling for $150.

tried to do the unifilter mod

 

Tried? Not the right tools why tried?

 

I tired to do it when I first got the truck. Then found out 2010 model doesn't require it.

 

no SAIS to put it on​

 

the posts I read and YT vids I watched seemed to imply Gen2s all need this... i didn't think to open the hood and make sure i needed it

 

Yepper that would make a difference

 

If they get to 50 orders only ONE person will get the 30" light bar and winch, plus a refund on their entire order. Still a cool promo and awesome looking bumper!

 

Today I replaced my center console latch woo hoo lol. The original cracked after 11 years..08 model. Just under $40 for the whole assembly from Toyota

 

Damn I misread that, thanks for the clarification!

 

That max traxx set up is clean!!!! Can you make a how to? I want to do something similar.
