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

What kind of paint did you use? I’ve been deciding if I should do the same but don’t want chipping paint within a couple months.

 

This is by far my favorite solution that I’ve seen

Wow that looks nice! I couldn’t tell but did he just leave the inserts and file the outside clips?

 

Yup

 

I finally did my driver side wheel bearing hub. This is what I saw. I replaced them with new ones from @05Taco4x4.

 

Yesterday while the weather was decent I mounted up some CaliRaised stealth LED bar mounts and mounted the light bar my sister got me for christmas. Waiting on Amazon to deliver my wire harness today so I can get it hooked up. Also have a CaliRaised "front bumper" button to mount next to my fog light button. Need to change some of the wiring around so my switches are powered on a single switched relay as well as future proof the wiring a bit.

Also I picked up hardware to do the A-Pillar ram ball mount. Dual arm should be delivered in the same package as my wire harness so I can finally mount my

UV-5R and its bracket on my dash. Now that I have my call sign posted I can actually start using it!

 

Got a link for this?

 

That's what I did, except I went to NAPA and got some trim clips for Ford, they don't have to be ground down, just light sand and paint. I'm just waiting on some good weather to bed line my flares, and two bumpers. I went with raptor liner cause its tintable

 

I have one of these 'Hammocks" for the back seat in my dbl cab, works great. One of our dogs gets cars sick constantly, this protects the entire interior. Water proof and easy in and out. I leave it in all the time. Has two leash restraints that clip into the seat belt receivers. Also good if you work or play outside and have dirty gear to stow.

I have the same one, best thing ever, one of my dogs salivate extremely when she gets in the car, only got sick once. She is just barely a year old, maybe she will grow out of it

 

Does anybody know where I can get some black 100mm center caps to replace my beadlock ones? I’ve been looking for days but all I can find are stickers that go over the cap

 

It’s these pins that need to be taken out.


Here’s a video of how to take them out.

I used Dupli-Color 1E7 factory paint. Ordered it off Amazon for about $10. I also used a plastic primer and glossy finish from Autozone. Both of those were about $6.

So far, I’ve had no chipping issues. I put on two coats of paint and only one clear coat.

 

Updated the platform with a ramp so I don't have to pick up the 75lb princess to get inside

 

Now that you brought it up, that is probably my favorite mod or at least the most useful. Nobody thinks about intermittent wipers until they dont have them.

 

I plasti dipped mine black and got the stickers for just the letters from ebay.

 

I'd just see if you can have a local auto body paint shop match the wheel color and paint them.

I'd also wonder if there are 100mm center cap blanks with out letters....

 

Hey man, you got a link for the stickers?
