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

No warranty of any kind from where you bought it or the bank you went through to buy it?

 

Where did you get that!?

 

I didn't purchase the warranty from the dealer and I didn't get one for the bank either unfortunately.

 

I believe he built it himself.

 

You might try pushing the issue a bit. Even NY requires the dealer to stand behind the vehicle for 30 or 60 days. I don't recall exactly. And NY and CA are competing for the most ef'd up state award.

 

A lot of people ask about the reinforcement of the canopies but I am convined that having more contact points negates the need for reinforcement.

With the flat bar running from front to back with 4 support bars and at least 4 bolts on each side holding it in. I think he should have plenty of capacity.

 

Washed, Vacuumed, and topped off my tires with a bit more air.. That's always fun.

Had to clean some bugs from my HomerTaco Raptor grill

 

Gave her a good wash, clay bar, polish (to try and get out the desert pin strips I acquired on Tuesday at Hungry Valley), and then a good wax. It's been way too long since the last wash/wax but being in Cali I was trying to be a good citizen with the drought. I just couldn't hold out any more!

 

I am not sure your level of mechanic skills but if you wanted to start somewhere pretty easy, a starter would be it. These are pretty straight forward to do and don't require any special tools. If you got yourself a Hanes manual it would walk you through step by step. Either way, hope you are back on the road by now.

 

Finally got my muffler installed after 4 months

 

What kind and setup did you go with?

 

Ya I looked up online how to replace the starter and it looked pretty easy. I just took it to a mechanic because I wanted to be sure the starter was what the problem really was.

 

That's cool man, glad you're back on the road.

 

I've seen it on older K5 blazers too. The weight starts popping seems that are not always near where the load is. The k5 tops are pretty stout too, so one would assume it could hold a fair amount of weight, and maybe they can and the ones I saw might have been grossly overloaded at times. I have a rack on the camper shell of my 82 Toyota 4x4, but the camper was built to be load bearing, and has a square tube framework.

 

Oh, Ya. I gotcha on the side to side if you have a lot of weight. I guess It mainly depends on what your planning on putting up there.

Eventually I would like to put a RTT on mine. I already have 4 Yakima crossbars to dispurse the weight. They don't weigh that much in transport but once you park, set up camp and add bodies the weight is over capacity.

 

Ya, If I find a good deal I won't hesitate to get snatch one up but for now I am trying to work with what I got off CL lol

 

Oh, ya. I did a Diff breather mod and relocated my compressor filters...

Almost done with the compressor install. One bit at a time.




Compressor location:

 

looks good man.^

 

That looks awesome!! Great work. I think you may have inspired me to finally make my own!
