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

Not Hard but a couple of tools like the spring retainer tool and a set of picks will make life easier. You can use a BFH to get the drum off, but there a couple of bolt holes in the drum (I think its 8x1.25) that will make getting the drum off much easier. Do one side at a time and take pictures so you know how everything goes back together.

 

got the powder coat back today. very pleased with my tailgater prevent policy. big thanks to @crashnburn80 for the coating reference.

 

Painted and reinstalled my head unit and ac control bezels.

 

Why does your radio sit so far back in the dash??

 

At The Helm for the win! Love his stuff

 

I don’t know, it was already in when I bought it. Didn’t know it was unusual.
The picture does make it look farther back than it is though

 

Installed some new RockBlokz mud flaps. I really prefer the look of no flaps but all the little rock chips in the paint was starting to kill me inside. RockBlokz are a little pricey but really digging the size, material and look. Not nearly as stiff as the stock flaps but much stiffer than I was expecting. Installation was ez, plug they came with candy and an air freshener that smells amazing!

After

 

New Marker/Parking Lights !

 

Finally installed some interior lights. Flyzeye is awesome. Great setup.

 

one side at a time so you can use the unassembled side as a diagram to reassemble the other side

 

Is that an aftermarket shift knob boot?

 

Removed TRD bed decals n quick bath

 

With all the chaos going on in life right now and it being 80 degrees i decided on some outdoor therapy. Trimmed the apple trees, weeded flower bed, and hand washed the truck for the first time in a couple of months. All I can say is thank the Lord I live out in the country and can get out in the yard and feel the sun on my face.

 

I replaced the carb on my push mower in the garage with the door up, radio on, in between rain showers. It was nice, about 75F down here. It’s nice to open up the tool box and do some work, and not think about what’s going on right now for an hour or two.

 

Amen my friend. I do nothing but worry about my daughters living in apartments in cities. I know if we get shut sown for a while I always have projects here. Just cut the news off and go outside and escape this reality for a while

 

I should be able to finish my headlight retrofit this weekend. At least gas prices are down and I’m home drinking a cold Corona.

 

Boot is. Saw someone else do it here. $9 on eBay. Stock knob as I wasn’t into a $100 knob

 

I’m with ya!

 

Truck looks great! What are you using for the ceramic coating?
