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

How much did you take off

 

Link?

 

Traded it in for this offroad beast! Probably gonna hit up the trails this weekend........ Except not! But this is my loaner for the week while my Taco gets a brand new frame courtesy of Toyota! I miss her already!

 

(Totally legit Picture not fabricated in any way shape or form)
This things eats rocks as a light snack!

 

God those IMRC plates were annoying. My '98 Cobra's were gunked up and always set off my CEL when going over like 6k rpms.

 

There was a GB going for these but it ended last Friday.

Took like 2.5” off the flares and 3.5” off the fenders themselves

 

I expect most people to dislike it. Everyone hates chrome on here.

The truck is an OR so the stock one was chrome. Plus it matches the rear bumper.

 

Do you have a picture of your plywood slide? Did you add wheels or just sliding the plywood on the bed? Right now I'm just using cardboard and using it as a slide if I can't reach, but too flimsy for heavy stuff. I also have a trifold and interested on the KB Voodoo high rise bars.

 

Good afternoon.
A while I didn't post something.
Every day in my Tacoma to work. Much more dust than mud this year, because a very few rains.
Truck has 50,000 miles today.
Hope all is well with you all.

 

not the best pics, but its pretty straightforward. the "floor" is cut to the shape of the bed mat, then on the front, there is a ~5" wall around 3 sides. Right now its just sliding on the bed, which works fine most of the time. I do want to add something to make sliding easier, but I havent figured that part out yet.

 

True, everybody has their own personal touch. My dad loves chrome, me, not so much

 

Not today but this weekend.

1. Cut center console to house 3 gang switch panel
2. Relocated rock light rocker switch to said 3 gang switch panel from the cubby left of the steering wheel.
3. Purchased/Mounted X-Bull Recovery boards to roof rack with wing nuts (need to find a clean way to lock them down)
4. Used Recovery boards to help a friend out of a sandy ditch in a tight spot (no pictures as it was dark and I was in a rush)

 

Different strokes. Different folks. Chrome rear bumper. Chrome grille. Chrome lug nuts. Chrome steering wheel emblem. And that’s all it’ll ever be.

When I get bored, I’ll go back to the silver surround. It does have a few nasty rock chips that need addressed anyways. Now I have an excuse to repaint it.

 

This past weekend:

Picked up a used Brute Force Fab bedrack

Today:

Mounted up the recovery boards

Added D-rings in the truck bed. Found out about this here

Added a hose clamp to make sure the shovel doesn't slide around.
Any ideas on how to lock the tools to the rack to deter (or at least slow down) theft?

 

Custom rear bumper??

 

That's a killer idea.
Totally stealing that and claiming it as my own

 

I decided to put grip tape on top of my sliders very easy mod however it is more aggressive than i thought. Got out of my truck and instantly abraded by calf maybe im just an idiot.
Also spent 250$ on a replacement 285/75/16 bfg at after a tire with only 1 oil change on it was killed by a small stick.

Death by stick https://ibb.co/Qj5gPxj

 

Saving this for a later date! Thanks!
