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

Ok to answer your questions. Yes I had Sciatica, Bulging Disc at L3-L4, Herniated Disc at L4-L5 bad enough that it didn't go away on it's own. The Neurosurgeon/ WHICH I RECOMMEND YOU USE ! did a micro-lumbar discectomy. waited 4 weeks to drive no bending twisting or lifting over 10 lbs. I was out of work since Sept. 2022 and could not sit longer than 20 mins. at a time.
Like others have told me take your time healing and boy are they right. I can drive now pain free and sit for long periods of time. MRI will show everything.
What ever you do good luck.

 

Yeah, I mean the stock muffler was split at the seam up at the frame since I bought it so there was always some extra noise, when I cut it at axle dump it got worse, when I removed the stock(and found it was split pretty much its full length) and added the borla it got worse.

 

Mounted roof rack on the cap.

 

Ahh, the truth comes out. Borla muffler… okay, now I’m not surprised it droned. Why all the trouble if you could have just gone for another stock muffler?

 

The borla muffler was pictured multiple times so I don't know what you thought I was hiding. Cost, weight, clearance, customization, I wanted to, etc.

 

I vacuumed what mustve been 5 pounds of dog hair out of the cab today.
May not sound like much, but boy, its work.
Little hairs about a half inch long jam into the fabric like mini porcupine quills

This is *with* a dog hammock in the back and btw

 

I looked at this 5 times wondering what the blue painters tape was there for. Apparently I have just been sober for way too long.

 

The Trail Gear companies (email from Wheelers and AllPro Offroad this morning) have a 20% off sale for Father's Day.
? Happy Father's Day!

 

Skids removed. Ready for the URD LT header install and a full fluid change.

 

trimmed my fender and flares recently and wondering how you guys secured the bedside after trimming, if you just modified the stock brackets, or something else



ps its a long bed

 

Did the sound deadening and put in the new speakers in the front doors.

 

Installed Carhartt Seat Savers. First impression is they’re pretty “meh”. I’ll see if they grow on me in the next couple of weeks.

 

Swapped some shocks today. Thanks @eibach for honoring their warranty. And thanks tacoma world for helping me figure out how to install without a coil compressor! Softer coils for some kinder angles on the cv boots.

 

Installed the Icon progressive AAL and removed the factory overload. The ride is SOOOO much better! Hoping these hold up. Pairs perfectly with the 3rd gen TRD Offroad suspension.
My only complaint is I had to drill and tap this part to re-install the M8 bolt for the e-brake cable bracket. Icon also could have saved a few bucks by not including the unnecessary longer U-bolts. The stock U-bolts worked fine since you replace the overload spring with the AAL pack.

 

First full buff and wax of the season . Oh, and fluid filmed the frame, trying to keep this 20yr old girl around a bit longer!

 

Installed Rockford 6x9's and sound deadening on front doors, just like MtnMan307! lol

Also did a test fit with my water tank project on my $100 OfferUp bed bars. I bought the large Quick Fists to mount it but after the test fit I'm thinking I need some u-bolts instead. There's a bit of flex in the Quick Fists and I'm not sure I trust it to hold well when the tank is full.

 

Installed the CVJ’s with the long boots. I’m in the middle of rebuilding the original cv’s with extended boots as well. No more touchy on the boot fins

 

Got about 70-80% coverage on the driver door. Also Tessa Taped the clips. It was really tedious and I have 3 more doors to go, but I guess that’s the fun in it. Next I’ll be covering them in eggcrate acoustic foam.

 

Do yourself a favor and pick up some @At The Helm bedside supports. My factory supports that I made work eventually broke, and now my bedside is cracked in the back near the tail light. Morgan sells brackets and now it’s 100% solid back there, 10/10 recommend, I wish I had them from the get go.
