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

I have friends out west, I like it out there. I haven't been to Houston, we were going to go scope it out in a couple weeks but my job still can't give me a date to return, so I'm planning on losing it so I had to cancel. I thought of Texas because I like King of the Hill, and Houston because it looked nice in the show my 600 pound life. I might watch too much TV. . .

Beautiful view. Another reason I want to move Is the absurd house prices in Grand Rapids. Ik it's not as bad as California, but I also don't have the ocean near me, and there isn't much to do. I figure if I am gonna pay big city prices might as well live in a big city.

I semi-retired my truck today. But it's a good thing. It's no longer my daily driver, and will be reserved for truck stuff, not going to work and getting groceries. I bought a 2011 VW Jetta TDI Sportwagen. Has a lot of cargo room, and a surprisingly torquey little engine. Comfortable, fun to drive, HUGE sunroof, and most get 37-40+ mpg on the highway. Has 63k miles on it, so I hope to get 200k more out of it and make my Tacoma last another 150k miles. The two oughtta get me through the next 20 years. It looks like a dent in the driver's front fender below but it's just a reflection.

 

just try and keep the drains for the pano roof clear so you don't get the leaky roof stains and water in the spare tire tub.

Thought you had a prerunner?

 

I have a 4wd as well but it's my pavement pounder

 

Bought a "new to me" OME Heavy Leaf Pack.

 

I love your riot control bumper. I need to upgrade mine to that.

 

What prep work did you do to the bumper first?

 

Didnt know that!

 

Packed her up for a little camping adventure!

 

I second this question! I'm tired of looking at my chrome bumper

 

Got a couple of things done this weekend.

mounted my front locker and add switch for my fj tcase. Also wired up some more lights to my auxbeam switch panel. Created my own dual inflator/deflator kit.

now just to get diff and tcase in!

 

Very nice!- What type of paint did you use?

 

you can find it anywhere they sell Rust-oleum

 

Any specific issues you want to share?

 

I took my billet Icon UCAs to a well-known shop that specializes in offroad vehicles to have them press the DJs in since buying a press large enough to fit the Icon adapter tool would have been an additional 100-150. Here's what they managed to do to the brand new UCAs. In addition to all of the cosmetic damage they mangled the channel for the retaining ring on one so bad that the ring could be removed using just your fingernail.

 

Got a few things knocked off my to do list for the Taco this weekend:

BlaisBrosTacos Diff Breather kit installed:

Rigid PODs installed as side facing roof lights:

Iggy Switch Panel finished and installed:

Got a present in the mail from Australia finally!! HKB Voltage booster installed:

Also had time to grease my LCAs and spray some WD-40 White Lithium grease on my leaf packs.
