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

Well, bull bar is off. Not due to peer pressure but due to a rattling sound that was unrelated that led me to shearing two bolts off that held it on. Now going to find a light bar for the lower bumper and brackets I guess. Any suggestions on size/mounting brackets? Have to figure out how to cover up scratches and paint marks up front because some drunk ass at the bar decided to put a section of plastic patio fence between the bumper and bull bar. Fuck anyone that touches someone else's ride.

 

Got 275/70r18 BFG KO2's put on today. Love them!

 

Oil change today and noticed what looks like grease spilling out of what I think is my CV joint. I'm not sure familiar so could you verify that for me? Also what is the normal cost of a repair?



Does this seem accurate for my issue?

This is on my to do list.

 

I added some BajaDesigns Squadron Sports this evening.

 

Hee hee I would have to agree

 

Yesterday - Wet sanded 2 wheels.

Today - Painted and cleared said wheels. Wet sanded the other 2 wheels so they can be painted tomorrow.

I also ordered 2 replacement tires for the front of the truck. 4wd Hardware has 265/70/17 Duratrac's on sale for 235.99$ shipped, Called Discount Tire, they priced matched them down to 231.87$ shipped. If anyone is looking for a set of them, now would be a good time to take advantage of the sale price.

 

It is a failed CV boot. If you caught it early you can replace just the boot for about $40. (If you do the work yourself.)

Routed my CB to bed mounted antenna!

 

Those are the Go Rhino 5" Oval steps. They hang lower and sit further out from the cab than most steps which means they're great for helping shorter people get in and out but not necessarily the best for off road use.

Here is a thread with a review of them: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/go-rhino-5-xtreme-oval-nerf-bars-product-review.246411/

 

I just did this last weekend, the kit from sdhq is awesome! Got it all done in a few hours but man that was a dirty job. Did both sides, inside and outside boots.

 

Truck Looks sick.

 

slapped this one on.. oh and new antenna from antennax

 

Do it!

 

Apparently when I first uploaded my video on how to re-badge your Tacoma, it got flagged as being "controversial." WTF? Thankfully that's been resolved.

 

Thanks

 

Noice! Makes your truck look totally different!

 

Be careful using any kind of metal valve caps esp if they are made out of aluminum! They could (if you don't remove and lube them enough) corrode to your stems. And since the stems are your TPMS, that could get expensive!

What did you get?

 

Clearly someone thinks that once you debadge, you shouldnt rebadge. Kind of like once you go black...

 

I actually did go back after that, but I've never been the same.
