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

I'll definitely take you up on that in the near future brotha!

 

Upgrades started, got a torch and some marshmallows going to sit around the bushing fire tonight.

 

First wash in like 4 months.

 

Bolt size? and how many did you need?

 

Chikka yeah!!!

 

Picked up this knockoff pelican case on sale at harbor freight today. Drilled four small holes, grabbed four M6 hex head screws (slot into the 1in aluminum extrusion channel perfectly), some neoprene and fender washers and bolted this up. Previously I ran the large thule catch-all box in the background for trips, however it is large and not the best for organizing stuff. I will run one or two of these low profile gun-style cases for trips moving forward.


I will spend some time dialing in the internal organization on this. Below shows some gear tossed in to get an idea. I'm thinking I will run two of them, one with camp gear, one with tools and bike shit.

 

Only thing missing from this pics is a couple of Labrador Retrievers. When Red Dawn goes down you will definitely be prepared.

WOLVERVINES

 

Did you rattlecan the reservoir mount? i like it

 

Yeah looks super clean. Stole the idea from @boogie3478

 

Looks pretty cool lol.

 

That seems like the dream life... Owens Valley?

 

Truck looks fantastic. Needs 35’s! Did you do the retrofit yourself?

 

Old pic, but I painted my mount along with putting heat shrink over the clamps

 

Thanks man. I have a full Ironman 4x4 suspension coming in now and will have to figure out tires. I love these Cooper AT3 4's though! Truck is my daily so now way 35's! Ha. I have a buddy who does Retros.

 

He'll yes! You're the only other tacoma I've ever seen with it.

Going on like 5 years for me having it on.

 

As I recall, mine only took about a week or so. ** EDIT** - That was for the "treatment" not a swap. Just woke up.

Side story - the loaner was a late model base truck. I never used a back-up camera before and thought, 'Yeah, whatever". Then one day it started to drizzle on the way
to work. I reached for the wiper stalk and realized it didn't have intermittent wipers.

Really? It has a camera, but not something that has been standard on every vehicle since the 80s?

 

Those resi mounts look so fine.

 

Those with JBA UCAs, how did you reattach the abs wire? There is a hole drilled for the mount, but there's no way it will reach without modifying the bracket. Are yall just using zipties?
