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

Which version or model is this?

 

Took a road trip (5 hour 1 way) to St. Louis last weekend and picked up this 3rd gen softopper for a steal.

 

That little chrome ring will come out. If you flip the whole thing over, you'll see a few little places where it looks like plastic melted through a little hole.......yea, those are places where some plastic melted through a little hole . Just cut those off or remelt them care-ful-lyyyyyy and the thin chrome thing will come out towards the bottom of the shifter cover. Wrap it, paint it, whatever then put a drop or 2 of super glue back in through the little holes. It'll stay. It's not like you're riding around trying to take that little piece out.

Peace out

 

Picked up an Apache 4800 case from harbor freight today to hold my primary recovery gear. This will cover 95% of my recoveries and all in one easily accessible bin. Very happy with it, especially for only $45.

 

Ah ok!! Kinda like the tweeter trim on door panel. I'm gonna have to do that!! Thanks for the hack bro!!

 

I thought about removing that piece but like how it looks wrapped in gunmetal with the other colors I've got in the interior.

 

Let me guess: you used your HF gift card after bringing back some 6ton death traps?

 

Lol no not quite, I used that on other things. This would have been a good purchase though. I was at harbor freight today to grab this and an employee had a shopping cart full of used stands.

 

I'm returning my 4 death traps this weekend.

 

But that's not your truck is it? That's a third gen

 

Howd it go? Link? I need to do something like this eventually.

 

Yea I haven't tackled those yet, but they're on the list. Chrome...be gone!!! SO you're saying that those are held in similarly?

 

Have you seen my thread about the Dakota digital universal Speedo corrector?

 

Nice write up.
Instead of screws, why not rivets? You could move one of those bands out of the way to hide a rivet under.

 

Just picked up my bumper from powder coat install this weekend

 

Being more than a little suspicious about Harbor Freight tool quality, I'm wondering what "6ton death traps" are? Stands? Jack?

 

Yeah I saw a video about. It's kinda a lot to do for such a small trim piece but we go to any length to remove chrome! Lol

 

Perfect. Damn perfect.

 

Been busy with my house, but finally had some time and warm weather to get some things done. Added Relentless Fab Tailgate Reinforcement and Corner Tie Downs, Voodoo Steel Bed Caps, and my Softopper. Got all the steel hardware used for $125 and Softopper for $150, plus another $140 for replacement parts for Softopper. Made off pretty well with these add ons.

Last pic, before and after. Next up, Cali Raised LED Bed Stiffeners and my bed extender.

 

Drove it to East Hartford to sell parts to @tshuldd
