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

SAND the crap out of it scratch it all up real good! wipe it down with rubbing alcohol, paint remover something along those lines to get the dust off and clean the surface. Then spray or paint away!

 

Thanks, I sanded it good and wiped with acetone.

 

Took my 04 PreRunner TRD in for some new struts and shocks.
Monroe Sensa-Tracs.
No need for the Billies for me.
As long as I can get across the farm to camp and to the lake to fish/drink beer, i don't really offroad. (Had a Wrangler - sold it - didn't really offroad much then either).

Also had an alignment, tire rotation and balancing.

I'll be putting in a new left side dash/instrument panel bulb tomorrow evening.

 

yesterday got stuck (sorry no pics)
but i do have pics of the aftermath



and today i discovered that i fu*ked up my stock skid plate (again) and thats what made me get stuck
it was acting like a shovel and i couldnt back out of the hole
and i found out i busted a seal in my transfercase the one going to the front drive shaft

 

muddings a bitch sometimes, isnt it? Ive messed up my steering rack before and everythings a bitch to clean afterwards.

its damn fun though.
nice brown truck. (last time i did that a few people asked if i got a paint job)

 

Added new tires/wheels

 

I like it! Had the same wheels on my 02.

Yesterday/Today, I washed, claybared, waxed, and was dissappointed. I guess there's only so much you can do for a 17 year old paint job.


It's not that it looks bad, I just expected it to look better after putting so much time and energy into it.

 

Looks good for 17 yrs.

 

Thanks, I think I need to lower my expectations.

 

Painted my exhaust flat black

 

Put on a new sticker Washed her

 

i like the new wheels & tires.

today, the good ole battery went dead, wouldnt hold a charge, & the 3 year free replacement warranty went out yesterday. good ole wal-mart exchanged it & gave me a free replacement. the lil 3 year warranty was suppose to stay the same, but the lady at the register accidently typed in the wrong date, so the warranty started over!

 

I would have like to put on a tacomaworld.com sticker today if somebody could tell me where to get one

 

I did this the other day........trying to decide whether or not to put the triangle pieces in still.

 

just ordered my new rims!! wrapped with 285/70-17 Nitto Grapplers...Can't wait to get home, put them on. Once i get home i'll post some before and after... dont have any truck pics on my laptop in Iraq.

 

Thanks!! Wasn't real sure on the tires until they mounted...now really like!

 

Added a new Eclipse AVN726E w/ custom mounted USB port that came with the AVN:

 

i really like the plug for the ipod. Thats sharp!

 

Nice USB plug placement. Made me search for them "Panel mount USB" will get lots of options. I'm going to order one up soon, just gotta figure out which one...

 

Dechromed the grill and bumper... Also the tiny fender flairs. Need some bushwackers someday.
