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

A good exterior cleaning.

 

beautiful truck man...looks similar to what i want mine to look down the line

what fogs do you have installed? big fan of those

 

Looks like diode dynamic SS3 kit for the 12-15

 

My ProooAuto TRD Pro grill came today. Initial thoughts is it looks of good quality. Box was sturdy and it was wrapped nicely. Letters came in a separate bag. However, no screws came so I can't attached the letters to the grill. Anyone know what size screws I am supposed to use? Here are some initial pictures:





The letters look wonky because they are just resting on the grill at the moment.

 

#8 stainless steel.

 

I bought my pro grille knock off from Toyota Accessories Guy:

Got it back in December I think, so far so good.

 

Spent last week installing my new bed rack and Tepui set up. I had to take it on a trip right away so I tried it out in the Virgin Utah area over the weekend.

 

Plus powder isn’t all that and a bag of chips... here’s mine after 6 months. Oxidized to all hell. Local shop. $300 wasted.

 

That was another thing I didn’t mention. I’ve seen a bunch of shitty powder coat jobs on other peoples trucks. The only place I would trust to do mine is mobtown since my front is coated from them and it’s some stout pc. They’re 4 hours away though, plus of course the cost and wait.

 

I'd take the truck to them and show them that. Maybe they'll make good on it. 6 months is way too soon to be doing that

 

I did. They weren’t having it. Salt on the road, ungaraged. Blah blah. Fuck them. Had it sand blasted and just spray painted it myself. Now I can touch it up myself.

 

Last Saturday put OME leafs (non-expo pack), and Wheeler's Off Road Superbumps front and rear...



Everything went smoothly until I broke off the bolt to the driver's side bumpstop and then we had to get out the extractor kit which in that location I can definitely say is a BITCH to do.

 

did same. even with Industrial strength velcro, wont stay up. any luck?

 

Picked up some parts and a box of DK LCAs arrived.

 

ahh man, I’ve got this relentless problem too, drives me insane
Don’t tell me it’s $120 per side!

 

Overall I'm pretty particular what I do to my truck and how it looks, and I spray painted my mobtown sliders after it arrived. It came out great and it's been holding up nice. Touching up is easy too.

 

Thanks Bob added to the parts list

 

Per side. But worth every penny

I’m a sounds guy. Always hunting down the squeak etc. mine were so noisy it was driving me batshit crazy. Expensive yes but worth it to me.

 

Well i've got a new exhaust coming tomorrow and decided to take out the new exhaust today. My truck is originally from the midwest. I snapped the first bolt that I tried to remove due to rust.



And then because I am really good at learning things the hard way, I snapped one of the studs on the header. I let the other 3 soak in PB and they came right off. Got new nuts and a new stud on the way. This is my first "big" project on her.



Here it is though. I won. Kind of. I've just gotta pop those sensors off and extract the rest of that stud after dinner.
