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

How difficult was the install? Happy with it so far?

 

You don’t another picture of it installed on your second gen?

edit: my bad I see you did post one. It looks bad ass!!!

 

No worries, if you need any additional pictures I can take them. As I said before tho it fit perfectly and adds way more protection than the stock skids I had previously

 

Thank you. I have to see why I was having trouble with mine.

11" drop hitch I got for $30 on Amazon. Looks like its out of stock right now, but its solid 5k lbs rating

 

Nice! Is that another receiver you have in the hidden spot or is that something you welded on?

 

Thanks! It's part of the whole bumper, hidden behind the flip up license plate. Also had a spot to mount the stock 7pin receptacle. Still rated for 6500lbs of towing.

 

Oh I mean the extension that the drop hitch is in. Is it just something like this? https://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Adapters/Brophy/HE06.html

 

Oh whoops! Yup its just like that, gives me a little extra clearance from the spare tire.

 

I took mine through an automated car wash, and there was an attendant there flagging people through. When he saw me coming, he had to wonder, "What the fuck!?" First time it's been washed in so long I'm not sure. Maybe 2+ years. The pinstriping looks less severe now that I got all the scratched through dirt off it.

 

Yeah man. But don't let that turn you off. The Velcro I had on lated for years without issue. I love having a snorkel!

 

Installed my mazzulla bumper

 

Trying to sand and paint this beefy bumper.

 

Dig that super clean look.

 

Installed the u-bolt flip kit and did the rear diff breather locate to my driver side bed cubby.

 

Left the house to run some errands, found a significant amount of oil on the pavement, and sprayed all over the engine compartment. Looks like the leak is coming from bottom of the engine, and the oil was picked up by the belts and pulleys and sprayed upwards.

Any idea the source? Timing chain cover maybe ?

 

Cleeeaaannnn

 

All that work to the truck and no U-bolt flip? On my last tacoma I actually sheared the heads off one of the bolts of my unflipped axel bolts. Plus it cleans up the look in the back that extra little inch.

 

Getting ready to redo the camper shell. New paint and new windows.. currently shell is on my 3rd story baloney hahah
