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

Test fit my .75” Bora spacers to see if my particular wheels needed stock studs trimmed. They don’t! Will install these spacers sometime soon after I take my time sanding the mating surfaces. Then I removed the spare tire Jig. With a ratcheting 12mm crescent it’s an easy job, just super tight between the bolt heads and the frame crossmember.

 

Try this one. Simple-ish install, still holding strong

 

Swapped out my old yellowy crummy incandescent license plate lights with LED types. Going to swap the rusty hardware next.

Got eaten alive by mosquitos at the same time.

 

Ah man, I’ve been keeping an eye open for a Rad Red skewped hood. Looks nice

 

Been a while, just a pic before and after fishing. Didn't catch a fish, but caught a buzz

 

Awesome night regardless

 

Thanks man, I had an iso on the hood swap thread for almost 4 years without a hit. Was always late when there was one on CL or at the pick and pull. Just happened to see one in a sales post that had nothing to do with a hood and finally got somebody to say yes when I asked if they'd be willing to sell. You'll find one just have to be vigilant plus this one was all the way up in Salem but it was definitely worth the drive.

 

Added a 22" light bar to my cheap ebay bumper. It's not hooked up; I live in the city, so it's just for show.

 

Finished sound deadening the floor and back wall yesterday. Tedious something fierce. Next week will be the front doors.

Drove her around a little last night. The extra steps of mass loaded vinyl and closed cell foam seem to really help.

Covering the back wall this way required lots of little trimming to the holes I already made and trimming of the inside of the back panel itself.

 

Gah, your garage floor is freaking nice and clean. Did you do that yourself? If so, what product did you use?

 

You going to keep us posted with a build thread?

 

Thank you
Yes I literally just finished it 2 weeks ago. I went with a resin/epoxy based product (not water based). Rust-Oleum epoxyshield dark gray. I did a thorough acid etch before laying it down & then 2 days later I did a rustoleum clear coat with anti slip additive. Spent about $500 on supplies and it came out just as good as I hoped. Also bought extra flakes for more flake coverage.

 

Man! Well done sir. That looks incredible.

 

Thank you! People rag on epoxy but as long as you do it right, it holds up really well over time & requires virtually no maintenance. Just rinse it off time to time. It’s the best garage floor option IMO. Companies charge thousands to do this professionally

 

How much does this cost? I keep seeing everyone doing it and I am concidering do it. Hwy noise is bad in my truck.

 

Snorkel maintenance
I put new glue and Velcro down.

 

installed the dasaita headunit the other day ..
Took it to an audio shop prior to the install of the dasaita and told them I want to upgrade my door speakers... after they upgraded, I installed the new headunit a few days later ... come to find out it has a high screech pitch the higher the volume goes.. like as if theres TOOOOOOOO much treble/sharp noise ...its ear piercing... AND the rear door speakers don't work ... -_-

 

What have I done FOR my Tacoma today? I just spent an hour and a half updating the build thread.

Ive been looking for these black toyota wheels (the non TRD ones) and can't find them anywhere... can I ask where you got yours? Are they 16 or 17?

 

Dang, I bet she looks nice on a mall curb. I know mine does...
