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

Installed my Truxedo Lo-Pro-QT. Very happy with the outcome so far. A small piece of weather stripping was missing on the rear for the the rail on the passenger side but I called them and it is in the mail.

 

Gave her a good wash and detail. Debadged & painted front emblem black.

 

Watch out if you go wheeling. You'll pinch that new tip closed!

 

I like the scoop as well, mine is doing the same thing. How does it come out? Or did you just tape it off?

 

mounted the Hi-lift
now I need the time to hit the dirt

 

The scoop just unbolts from underneath. Pretty easy. I painted mine along time ago. If you want a more permanent coat, use Krylon Fusion for plastics. Make sure you prep the surface well though. Sand good and clean really well.

 

installed 4:56 nitro rear gears for the time being until i can afford the front + arb locker

 

just dont engage the 4wd or your tansfer case will explode

 

yup no 4x4 until the front gears are in

 

Need to decide which tires to go with. Everyone is going Duratracs but I like BFGs, just dunno whether AT's or Rugged Terrains would be better. gonna do 275/70/18s so 33.2" OD.

 

traded it in for a Tundra

 

I'll have to wait for the Arb for the front, just gonna get gears for the time being because I would rather put my locker money towards skids I REALLLLY need badly. I've been very patient though and it will soon be worth the wait.

 

Looks really sharp and snug. I had to return a Tonneau-Pro tri-fold because the weatherstripping on the front and rear came no where close to filling in the gaps between the tailgate and the front of the bed; not even with the enclosed additional pieces.

That looks like it sits very flat against the top of the tailgate; I assume it also is a snug fit on top of the front of the bed (behind the cab)?

 

Just a couple of quick things this morning.

Put on the 49" Rampage tailgate LED lightbar and (I know..here it comesLOL)...added a bit of experimental black pinstriping to see if it would "break up" the all-white look.

I have a day or two to mull it over and can pull it right off.

 

I painted my interior a little and added a flashlight holder under the ac controls, and put a knife next to that, which actually comes in handy more than you think.

 

What did u use for the paint. Something like a krylon fusion paint?

 

Nothing so far, just got it on Tuesday. First thing I'm doing is an aftermarket stereo, then maybe seat covers. Would like to get some window tint and running boards at some point.

 

black plasti-dip. I used it because if you don't want it anymore you just peel it off, and its really durable if done right.

 

they are dick cepek torque rims. i love them they are one of my favorite purchases

 

Rack was reinstalled today with the Rotopax mounts, relocated the hi-lift from the passenger side of the rack to the rear and mounted the spare on top.

This leaves my entire cargo space open and places most weight in the middle and not hanging off the ass end.
