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

Ordered a new A.R.E. cap today with roof rack and it will be in hopefully before the snow hits the mountains.

Went to one dealer yesterday that has multiple stores and felt like I was in a used car lot, heavy full court press to purchase.

The next shop is a locally owned place, dad has been in business 32 years and daughter works there also. Always prefer local owned businesses when I can. One additional item, they will take the top off and store inside for free when ever I need to have it off for any reason.

All I need next are some bolt on sliders along with a rear skid plate, and should be done,,,,, I think.

Will post pics when top comes in.

Oh and stopped by my tire supply place to see how much it would be to replace my factory tires with Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO Off-Road Tire, only to find out that size has been discontinued.

 

What size were you looking for?

 

Scored one of these to sidestep doing overhead console install in my reg cab......

Curious what did you end up giving for a new ARE cap? I've been wanting one for awhile but haven't made it to any of the dealers around here yet.

 

That's where I got mine from also. Cheapest I've found them for. Everyone else has them for over $400.

 

Got the ass painted finally

 

3 times a week for me.......Piece of shit Droid X2.

I swear phone manufacturers put a bug in these bastards that go off after 6 months. Then we have to get a new piece of shit phone!

 

Rock lights shipped yesterday, front tube bumper getting painted and installed saturday, full lift, dakars and ucas going on Monday.

 

nice

 

Debadged! Next up is the doors.

 

looks clean, nice work.

 

Agree^

 

Cruised around on my new Spidertrax wheel spacers

 

You decided to carpet it instead, huh? Look good. How did you route your port to get a length almost as long as the length of your longest side? Also, what amp did you go with? How does it sound?

 

Thanks!

 

Yep. Waiting for mine to not say "in process" and actually shipped

 

the port goes to the back of the box, turns 90 to the right, 180 to the left, then turns 90 towards the top. that was the only way I could do it and maintain clearance from the coil. I picked up a JL XD 300/1 and a remote level control. still need to pick out a head unit and get a dash kit.

 

Good call and it is not all that hard on my 2WD Tacoma. Engine, manual transmission, and rear end oil cost me right arounf $150. Cabin filter was less than 10. I would expect for your Tacoma the cost would be loser to $200 using a quality syn oils. Plus I think you have to change plugs as well.
