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

Holy crap I'm already over $1,000 initial with nothing put into packaging, hardware, instructions, or shipping. I'm going to have to reduce the quantity of each piece significantly. I'm starting with 5 different parts instead of 4. The least expensive part is going to end up selling for around $50-$60 each and I was hoping for it to be half that so that's not good. I was hoping the customers viewpoint would be closer to "that's a no brainer" instead of a "do i really need that?" and at $60 I think it's closer to the latter. I'm positive I could get some great input on the matter here on TW if I wasn't so damn secretive about what the parts are. I know some fab shops sell stuff with a waiting period but I don't know if they typically require prepayment or not. It's all about initial outlay of my funds because I'm positive that part will sell even at $60.

I shoulda gone to college hahahaha!!

 

I feel like no matter how cool the part is no ones gonna want it just to spite you for being so cryptic and secretive....lol. Now you have my curiosity as to what it is....

 

That's actually crossed my mind too hahahaha!!

 

Nice, I think I'll go after work and pick that socket set up. Is it a pretty complete set?

 

Finally installed the URD throw-out bearing sleeve upgrade kit. It’s day one, and no chirping anymore. The mechanics who installed it seemed to agree that it fixes a design flaw in manual Tacos.

 

Did the military discount work on the socket set?

 

You’re Welcome! That’s a whole Family Affair, that’s pretty cool. I am not “edemucated”, have a PhD (Public High School Diploma), so not a Gentlemen of the Wardroom, like your Son in Law.

 

Looks great, but depending on what material it is printed out of it might warp or distort from the heat exposure.

 

No offence or disrespect intended! however, I'll take electric any day!! (jmop)

 

I installed my Vehicle OCD organizer set

 

How's the glove box one? Does the organizer take up more room than it's worth?

 

The glove box one is fairly nice, just a slightly tight fit to get it put together. I think it'll be super useful though, and it's well designed. I'll post a pic asap. I bought the set with the center console organizer and tray as well. I don't think it takes up too much room at all.
(btw, the reason i haven't got a pic is because to get one i'd have to go outside and freeze my *ss off taking it )

 

connect a hose to the bottom of the oil filter drain and run it down to the catch basin. When you're done, put a bolt in the bottom of hose and tuck the hose into one of the open holes under the truck. Had this setup for years, and it works like a charm. Hose 5/16ths

 

Installed some of my purchases from the Amazon gems thread... MATCC car kick mats/backseat organizer and a trash bin/organizer if you want to call it that. These will probably be handy for my passengers during our road trips. Excuse the dirty floor... I'll clean that up soon with the 12v car vacuum I bought as well.

 

Finally built a box and amp rack that I want to keep. LineX'd the exterior of it. Also installed a Dynamat like material over the floor and back wall. Then, a sound deadener over top of that. I can't believe how much quieter it is now. With my last sub box, and no dynamat you could hear wind as if the rear window was open. Now it's almost like my Mercedes.

 

finally took apart a leaf pack I had laying around to see if I wanted to try and revive it. What do you guys think? Too much rust? Is it worth trying? The underside is just as bad as the side showing.

Those some sweet bed rail mounts![/QUOTE]

Just bent flat stock I had laying around. Gets the job done

 

Yeah!

 

And then I did a little of this:
