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

5-tire rotation.

 

The girlfriend hit a milestone in my truck today.

In other news, sheesh I need to clean my truck lol

 

Man i bet your neighbor is hanging out his window like did he scratch my car lolol,

 

A little snippity snip on the fenders
2.5 inches to be exact…

 

What tank is that?

 

Yeah these came out great. Im considering doing mine, my driver side rear got scuffed and was considering going with plastidip on all 4, that way if it gets scuffed/roughed up again, just spray more plastidip on it. Bulletproof logic? or is that just a PIA to deal with and I should just go with the truckbed liner?

I have to clean up my bedside and the fronts, so I'm getting new flares and going to end up using Raptor on them. Lucky for me, the brother-in-law is a paint and body guy and has some 040 left over from a job.

 

Nah. By now they know I'm not that type.

 

Unless the angle of the photo is off. Id suggest hitting the pinch weld too

 

How do you think the deer feels about it?

 

I know im just playing

 

probably wished it'd called an Uber

 

haha thats on todays agenda after work. gonna spray some undercoating as well.

 

I am about to add the same rubber trim to my cut fender flares. Any tips, problems to avoid in hindsight?

thanks!

 

Right behind you

 

This rubber trim from McMastercarr / you will need 25ft of each.
Fender flare : 8507K65
Fender : 8507K14
Trimming 2.5 inches seemed to be the sweet spot for retaining bolt holes. I’ll show you some pictures of what I mean when I snap pictures later. I would look at ripcords build thread, he has a lot of detailed pics and advice. Only difference I did was use a different rubber trim for the fender flares, I tried the one he recommended and it wasn’t a good fit. And he trimmed 3 inches, but like I said earlier I did 2.5 to retain some factory bolt options. Other than get a dremel and a jig saw with a metal cutting blade and take your time.

 

^^^^

 

If you flip through my restoration page, I show how I repaired the torn tabs on the backside of the flares. I used heat, plastic and metal screen to do the repair.

 

Oooh...ooooh... me too!
