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

Painted my toolbox with bedliner, replaced the factory latch with a Boltlock retrofit, and replaced factory logo with a skull on my '14.

 

Added Propane Tank, relocated RotoPax.

 

What bed liner did you use, and did you do any prep besides cleaning? I need to paint mine black.

 

And added an Aries bull bar.

 

I used rustoleum roll-on. Prep was key, but a huge PITA...Cleaned box with brake cleaner followed by 3 hours with my drill and a wire brush to remove all of the finish and give the paint something to stick to. Then used a whole can of self etching primer and most of a can of automotive primer. I let it dry for about 5 days so paint would be cured. Then applied 5 coats of the bedliner. I let the liner dry about 3 days before i put it back on my truck. I didn't let the liner dry long enough and got a few chips. It chips very easily until it is fully cured. It was real dry to the touch and a little soft. Once fully cured it is very hard. It was on the humid side the week I painted it. Had to get it done before my surgery tmrw. We'll see how it holds up. I got a rattle can of the stuff too for the occasional touch-ups.

 

Cool, thank you that helps a lot.

 

Not today... but I lifted it this past weekend! Also.... washed it for the first time since October...

 

^In Canada and not washing? Can you hear your frame rusting away yet?

Isn't 5V just USB? Plenty of cheap USB adapters out there.

 

sprayed it down with the pressure washer and making a hoist to lift the canopy off the bed.

 

One of these darn days i need to purchase a pressure washer.

 

^You can get electric ones for less than $100, effectively no maintenance required.

Yea but i want one with some Serious Power to it. 3000psi

 

I gave the truck a lift.

 

I need to buy one too. I just used my father-in-laws 3200 psi one.

I will probably end up getting the one from 3000 psi one from Costco:

The only problem is that every time I need one I don't have the money to throw at it and every time I have the money to throw at it I don't think about or I just think "oh, I can wait".

 

The reviews are sub par for that Product

 

Nice! I plan to get an engo later on. I was impressed with their results in the winch shoot out, and it seems to provide the best bang for the buck.

 

Understandable that people have good and bad experiences. I will pretty much only buy a Honda motor and if I do have issues with it Costco has a 100% guarantee return policy and technical support on this product.

 

You also have to look at the pumps to some are better than others.

 

I just bought this one a month ago (I used my costco rebate check towards it). I probably have close to 20 hours on it already. I love it. It's a nice little machine. Can't go wrong with the Honda engine. The biggest thing is to keep the pump lubed up to prolong the seals while storing.

 

Best idea EVER!
