Magnetic Gray Thread!!!

I was thinking about getting a bed mat for my dog. It looks much more comfy than the Bedliner. He spends a significant amount of time back there when I off road cause he is a muddy mess from playing in every single mud puddle when I stop and let him out. What are some other advantages vs just the Bedliner.

 

Bedliner doesn’t stick to the composite beds in a Tacoma. First haul and it peels off. I was minutes away from buying a bedliner business.

 

Hey, did you paint the chrome that was around your grill?

 

Happy Tuesday gents

 

I just bought a painted one from camelback Toyota

 

I painted mine in the fall. It was a lot of work.
Spent $70 just on paint not including sandpaper tack cloth and other materials plus a respirator. Came out nice, but I did it more to keep busy during lockdown.

 

You did a great job on this.

 

Nice! That looks good!

 

Got some Falken AT3/W and threw on the morimoto XD fogs.

 

Slee inserts? Did you have to butcher the DD brackets to make them fit?

Post lift will be coming over the weekend.

That looks incredible. Any stats on the lift and wheel/tire combo? I'm looking to emulate a similar look for my MGM regular cab.

 

Of course! And thank you for the compliment!

Front - OME 883 coils on Bilstein 5100's set at 0"
Rear - TSB leaf pack with Headstrong 3-leaf progressive AAL installed, overload leaf removed. Also with Bilstein 5100's

Tires - Toyo Open Country ATII's 265/75/16
Wheels - OEM Toyota "Baja" wheels (don't know backspacing specs) and BORA 3/4" spacers on all four corners

 

How's the ride with the new coils and shocks? I've been looking at the 884/5100 combo w the same HS 3 leaf/5100.

 

The ride is great. Firm but plush if that makes sense. I don't have any weight in the bed at the moment but usually the rear gets super plush with some weight back there. I plan on buying a shell if I can find one which was the reason for the lift in the first place.

Depending on how much lift you want, the 883's didn't provide quite as much lift as i was expecting up front. I think they advertise like 1.25" but i'm closer to just under an 1" lift from stock. The 884's should provide another .75" of lift IIRC. The HS ALL is almost dead on at the advertised 1.5" (without OL leaf).

 

My new to me MGM.

Just installed a 12volt solutions remote starter replaced bulbs in all the switch’s left of steering wheel. Thought I had right part# but they are orange not green. Caps looked green but lighter than ones I pulled.
They are all orange at least.
Added husky mud flaps and a rear seat protector for the dog and a cheap tyger tonneau.
My BSP 08 base AC cab was totaled day before thanksgiving got t-boned.
Sucks new frame suspension mounts rack etc.
The bsp was a pain, when clean it was amazing but looked like crap with any amount of filth.
Loving the color the V6 and all the extras.
I’d had the 08 since 11 and put 150k on it myself. It was all manual everything 4 banger base. I was smitten with it and shed some tears for it but my new girl has shown me stuff I was missing. Has all the toys seats are better etc. I keep telling myself I’m gonna stay stock but it’s winter here in Vt. Come summer it may be a different story.
My 08 rip.
