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

Today I painted some more of the frame with Rust Bullet. Still have a second coat to put on in about an hour. Then this afternoon I got a delivery. It was my Undercover Tonneau Cover. So I put that on today. Took about 20 mins to to put on.

 

Did the grillcraft install. Just need some lights back there now.

 

Added a heavy duty hitch/ball so if some dumb ass slips off the brake at a light they get there vehicle f'd up instead of my rear end

 

Looks good! Was it much of a job? I don't have a lot of patience with things like this.

 

It wasnt bad at all. I just followed the directions from the mod thread and it took maybe 30 minutes. The grill comes off the truck suprisingly easy, i used a 90 degree cutoff wheel to remove the old insert, then smoothed it up a little with a dremel. a few screws later it was ready to install. A word of advice tho, use a 1/4 inch wrench to tighten the screws as its almost impossible to access them all with a screwdriver.

Give it a shot

 

When I did mine the grill was easy but the bumper was the hard one. Not much room for hands in there!

 

I put a box in the back of my Tacoma (it contains an ARB Bull Bar.) Crazy huge packaging, should be installing it Friday or Saturday.

 

Drove it home from the airport. Had a bat (the flying rat kind) hit my antenna/top right windshield area going down the freeway. Didn't notice any damage but I will look during the day to see if I missed anything.

Also had an LED tailgate light bar and Elusive Elements satoshi mesh waiting for me when I got home. Can't wait to install those!!

 

gave it a quick bath today.

 

Installed a 8" JL CP108LG-W3V3 enclosure and it sounds awesome. With a little trimming, it fit in the pocket of behind the rear passenger side storage compartment.

I'm amazed at how good this little enclosure sounds.

 

Whats the dimensions on the box? I need to get rid my factory sub and amp...

 

Took her to the stealership to get the THIRD blower motor installed. And since I am too lazy to work on the leaf springs, I had the squeaky leaf springs un-squeakified by them also.

I also fixed a rock chip on the door sill that was starting to rust. Thanks toyota for providing a paint pen!

 

I received my 1/4" top plate spacer for the taco lean from ToytecLifts (superfast shipped). I also ordered a nice gift for my truck, a set of 5100's for all four corners from DownSouthMotorSports shipped for $282.99. I can't wait till they get here and on the truck. I will be selling my old shocks as soon as they are off the truck.

How much trimming did you have to do?

 

This isn't my actual unit, but I found it in Google to give you an idea...

I cut off the shelf that's circled in yellow and a section above it. It was easy as pie using a Dremel and my seats moves up and down without a problem.

 

Hey, I'm looking for a small sub setup. I live in SAn Antonio, but will be in Houston tomorrow and Friday. Any chance you are near the medical center so I could get a look at it?
