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

Put the ditch lights on and went out for a drive

 

Beautiful truck! Are those sliders? If so what kind are they?

 

How did you like using the gray can of Steel-It? I painted a rear bumper with the black and hated it.

 

I've used the gray can of Steel-It when doing the cab mount chop and really like the way the Steel-It comes out. I'd like to try the grey on my sliders.

 

That's kool.
I'm adding that silicon rescue tape to my repair kit.
Thanks for the tip

 

Dude it’s incredible. It sprays and lays unlike any can of spray paint i’ve ever used. The black is more of a flat finish I know. But this gray is just beautiful. I also recommend NO primer underneath. Were you Trying it out on your new WARFAB bumper? Def need to try out the gray. Also - a cool trick I learned from reading the can directions is to turn can upside down and spray for 2-3 seconds when done to let the clear aerosol declog the nozzle so it isn’t full of paint next use

 

No I was painting a friend's bumper. I heard from others that the Steel-It black (and only the black) in the can is just terrible for sputtering even when following the directions ... and I agree 100%. I tried all the tricks and made sure to shake it plenty but it still randomly sputtered.

 

Sliders made by TJM for the third gens. Fit second gens perfectly

 

…………..dude...………….

 

Left some of my truck out at Potts Mountain but at least it gives me a Sunday project. It will buff out... I think.

 

Dang, where on the trail did that happen?

 

It was on that obstacle at the beginning that has an off camber turn to the left. It was just so slick. I made it nearly all the way around up high but it just took me right into that tree root that sticks out.

 

Finished up the paint job! Went with 3rd gen cavalry blue and 3rd gen badging. What do you guys think?!

 

Got home late Friday night to a stack of goodies I ordered while on the road. Managed to get the TRD Faux grill and LED reverse lights installed in between the storms yesterday. Today I pulled out the good ole Harbor Freight spatter gun and welded (i use that term loosely) some light tabs onto the new front bumper. Got the bumper primed, but I'm on a plane first thing in the morning, so I'll have to wait until I get back from PA in two weeks to get it painted and possibly installed.

 

I'm liking that cavalry on the second gen, nice truck

 

Good reason to take them all off! 1/4 of the work already done lol

 

Wowwwww

 

That’s killer looking! Good choice of color!

 

I ordered the center console cover someone else linked here previously. When it got here it was not at all the right size, it was cut way too long, the sides were boxed out, it was not shaped for the latch, etc. So after some time with a very sharp knife, some 3M Super 77, and after removing the center console pad (for a tighter fit and just in case I wanted to go back to OEM), I have this critter. It's not the absolute best looking thing, it has two areas where I couldn't get it to stretch down, so it doesn't look OEM, but it's way better than when it arrived.

 

Greased that driveshaft again . Got that slip joint clunk probably grease it 3 times between oil changes . Also wire brushed some surface rust under the cab and hit it with rusty metal primer . Found the flapping noise I’ve been chasing ........... partial piece of heat shield just laying up on drivers side exhaust . Surprised it didn’t fall out it was just laying there .
