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

Those were the ones I ordered. Picked up the TC cam tabs also. Only 100 bucks for the cam delete.

 

Depending how this works out too I can easily sell my oem hardware and make back the money.

 

that’s the same problem I had!

I made this thread to cover the differences / install

Nice work.... I've posted this mod b4 (and people are probably saying is this AH posting it again) but its a good way to keep an eye on ur filter...

 

AH posting it again

 

LMAO!

Lots of shenanigans going on here today, it must be Friday...

 

So this is a driveway mod then just set toe and forget? Mine gets knocked out within a week every time I get an alignment. Was going to do cam tabs but adding these on top of that seems like a real problem solver.

 

Im retired everyday is friday

 

Retired I have 6 Saturdays and 1 Sunday a week. Sunday is a day rest. I just tell wife with list of Honey Do’s I will do it Saturday.

 

My alignment is currently good so my plan is to take note of where the bolts are and use the appropriate “delete” tab. Set toe myself, and then get my alignment checked. If camber and caster is good, never worry about it again.

 

Wrapped the rear bumper with 3M 1080 G120 Gloss White Aluminum.
It took about 3 hours to wrap both sides of the bumper. MUCH respect that do this as a job. It was long and frustrating. There are some imperfections in my install but hard to see from far
Also repainted all the rusty bumper parts and the hitch.





Next is to derp the badges black and paint the exhaust black.
How easy is blacking out the inside of the taillights? I've seen a thread but I'm not too keen on cutting the lights apart... lol

Patiently waiting for the snow to clear from the trails!

 

I like that! Thanks for sharing! I may have to do that next. I actually have some left over plexiglass from another home project.

 

If that SideRide would work with my fold-a-cover; it would be awesome!

 

Finished fitting the DCSB flares to my DCLB.



We'll see if the 3200psi rated epoxy holds

 

Interested in that! link to the product?

 

Fitted and tested my latest product the SideRide!



it’s been a busy few weeks lol[/QUOTE]

I have always liked this idea, I just can't steer away from racks that I don't have to remove my front wheel. The best idea I have come up with tho is two pieces of aluminum flat bar sticking out like yours that you could just bolt a 1UP rack too. Only thing is...those racks aren't that cheap for a little convenience haha. I did convert my T2 into a swing out over the winter tho!

 

what is the difference between the two and any reason you didn't just use DCLB flares?

 

nice looking rig...

 

I have extra caps that I got from McMaster Carr. Free if you want em

 

Not all of the rear flare tabs line up with the bed sides and the flares are somewhat shorter at the bottom. I didnt have my flares. They got destroyed a couple years back. I wasnt going to spend over $1000 on new flares when I had a set given to me for free
