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

The last thing I did with mine was take it to the dealer and show them how my truck looks like shit because all of the super white is faded, flat, and peeling!

2014 DCLB, 37,000 miles...used to be super white, now its flat white and primer showing through.

 

I did the 6k white 150 lumens

 

Ceramic coating works good for turning plastic back to black and it last longer than the other stuff that just ends up washing off in a few weeks.

 

Replaced my TRD beadlocks with Method MR305 and BFG KO2s in 285 70 17 load C. Really liking the red.

 

140k miles but runs, shifts and drives like it has 70k miles. Just had to do a lot of delayed maintenance to it but no repairs. Rides as solid as the 2016 I just sold with 25k miles. Just has some scratches I need to deal with. Guy had a 50 mile work commute so not hard miles. He only fixed things when they needed fixing. Having said that all the fluids I replaced were very clean although aged. It still had the original front brake pads on it. When I see these 4.0's hitting 200k plus miles with no major issues, on FJ's, Tacoma's and 4runner's, I have confidence in one with 140k miles. Dealers wanted $18k or more for the same truck. Frame is extremely clean.

 

One of my early birthday presents came today.

 

Nice Find!
140k for these truck are nothing,
mine 2005 is hitting 220k without a hiccup
bought it without any maintenance history whatsoever
had the frame replaced by toyota that was it.
good luck

They don't even bat an eye now.

 

Just like the center console and glove box organizers, these kick ass. Inexpensive OCD pleaser

 

After 13 weeks of waiting, and about a week of preparation (removing all the mill scale and sprayed 2 layers of Steel-It Paint)....finally got my RCI sliders installed (The wait was well worth the quality of craftsmanship). And then proceeded to clean, clay bar, and wax the truck.

 

Picked up a Leer canopy a few weeks ago. $600 from a guy selling his Tacoma. Gave the old truck a nice wash & wax once I got it on.

 

Thank you. It is in my cart.

 

That's not bad at all!

 

Cut my panhard bar and put it in place. Will be able to cycle the suspension and then final weld all the brackets.

 

Replaced the old stock factory leaf packs with the spacer with some OME EL095R my buddy gifted me!! Managed to raise the rear about 0.5” which is pretty sweet considering I’ve got about 400 lbs in the back.
