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

Used the inverter to run my DeWalt angle grinder. Cut off Smittybuilt winch hook and replaced with a Factor 55 Flat Link.
Neighbors were outside enjoying their backyard so I didn't want to subject them to that noise.
It will run it but slows down with too much load. Had to use a light hand and take my time cutting through.

 

And you let the turd gen take the lead? What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

 

Installed Kings all the way around yesterday along with some Durobumps. Many thanks to Erick @state48overland for all the knowledge and insight. Customer service is second to none.

 

Type “Silver Running Boards Tacoma” on eBay. There’s about 748 on there.

 

Tackled the dirt that was left behind the flares and my neglected paint (I only did the right bedside to see the results).
I used a clay bar, then glaze and finally wax. Looks much better, now I have to do the entire truck

I did the rear of the bedside without the clay and the front of the bedside with the clay.
Now to get a weekend where it doesn't rain at all.

 

Sitting in a chair all day won't help, moving around constantly helps keep mine loose

 

Nice

 

Ow

 

Well aware of that. Moving around is good but at the end of the day sometimes my back will tighten up and I have to lay down for an hour.

 

Shiny bedside. Still have to try and remove the line from the flare.

 

Same. Sometimes it's difficult and painful to walk, but it makes my back and legs loosen up and the end result is less stiffness and pain going into the next day. I also do more and keep the weight off while wearing myself out lol

 

Oh, regrettably, I understand that. My last job I had a 1 1/2 - 2 hour commute home. By the time I got home my hips were locked up and I would have to roll out of my DD onto the ground and hold onto the door to get back up. Every morning I get up I have to work myself around to loosen up. A hot shower letting the water pound on my back for a bit helps

 

Part of why I keep working physically active jobs.

 

You graduated VT in '07? Daughter and her Fiance just graduated there. You still in Va?

 

I turned on this light today for the second time in the six years I have owned my truck.

 

This afternoon, I changed my oil, finished wiring my license plate lights and cleaned up the wiring for those and my third brake light with conduit and zip ties. After that, i washed my truck.

 

But its a dry heat ......

 

We are twins... just pulled my rear flares today too. I like the flareless look. I want to buff mine out to tone down the lines. I am working on filling the holes today also. The little clips are shaping up!

Thanks for the inspiration @EatSleepTacos and @SMKYTXN for the tutorial

did a little mod action on my sub control knob.

 

Weather sealed all four door jambs. The doors close with a nice “thud” now and the wind noise is gone!

Used four packs of 10’ each, and this is all I had left. Pretty darn close!!



Edit: Sorry everyone, I’ll post pics of the results soon
