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

I have the universal fit one (been on for 6 years now). That powertrays option is pretty slick though, especially since I’ll be tackling a powertrays install this fall. I have my universal fit model mounted right in the way…

Pic from November 2015, when the truck was 6 months old. Damn that engine bay was clean!

 

I haven't found much this stuff wouldn't take off

A guy stopped by today, to pick up a set of stock 2008 Off Road wheels and tires, with a 2006 4.0 that has 260k miles. It is his daily driver and he bought it new. He said he has never needed to replace his water pump. Good news for my son with 144k miles on his 2012 and me with 83k miles on my 2008. You may have been premature replacing yours but I would prob do the same thing in your shoes. Another plus about 2nd gen trucks.

 

Thanks for the compliment. Those are 17" x 9" XD128 Machete. The tires are BFG K02 275/70R17. Didn't need to do any trimming inside the wheel well. They roll just fine.

 

Get the universal one. The one for the tacoma is made for the power tray mounting and the hoses are to short if you dont have a power tray. I had to go get 3 ft of hose to make mine work. As far as I know the universal should have more then enough hose to put it almost anywhere.

 

Not a bad idea. I'd have to get new rims but thats never a bad thing.

 

Trimmed the bushwhacker fender flares.

 

Forgot about this until a dash cam conversation just popped up in another thread. Here you go...

I soldered in the LEDs myself a few years back. I's not bad pulling it apart. I'm the same way I hated the orange look.

A couple of quick questions........Brilliant truck BTW.
Which top hat for your snorkel is that? Is that the topspin? Would you happen to have a link? Do you know if it has a 3.5" inner diameter?

 

knob upgrade didn't realize such an easy and cheap mod could be so satisfying
Not as fancy as the AJT versions but getting things shipped to Canada from the USA sucks.

 

I have these and think they are pretty dang good.

 

Damn... Thats a different level of lame. Did they ever find the guy? If not, at least you'd had proof of fault for your ins company. Glad your alright and hope your rig is up and running again Matt. Thanks for sharing.

 

Wayyyyyyyy too much work right there my friend! You definitely need to look into artificial turf, never have too mow it or water it obviously…. Man I need a beer and a chair to sit down in just looking at all that work!! Lol. Lol. Lol. Lol

 

This might be a stupid question but is that the factory clock and flasher plate? My 2010 doesn't look like that and now I want it to lol.

 

That creek area where you guys are hanging out by the water looks beautiful!! That’s Sedona huh? I’ve always thought about taking a drive out there. Looks peaceful

 

Looks sharp!!

 

Did those spacers come with all the bolts & you’re not rubbing on the inside front wheel well behind the bumper huh? Thx!!

 

How exactly did you do it? I’m interested in doing this too. Thx!!

 

Looks good but do yourself a favor and leave your receiver & hitch on all the time for the idiots that like to run into the back of your truck at stoplights or stop signs. Mine has saved me multiple times. Just a tip!!
