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

Backed into someone in the parking lot first thing in the morning. Destroyed my passenger taillight, dented and twisted the bumper and even managed to damage the paint on the box right behind the bumper. Initial inspection looks like i only damaged his grill (a Ford E350) so beyond pissed and embarrassed.
Not sure if I'm gonna get a stock replacement light or smoked and looks like I'll be starting my bumper project earlier than I'd intended.

Also Demello bumpers are only 1/8" instead of 3/16" which makes them lighter than most plate bumpers as well.

 

What's the BAMF mount support?

 

New headunit:
Pioneer DEH-80prs
Scosche install kit
The auto EQ and Time Alignment worked really nice. Just plugged in the mic, taped it on the headrest, closed the doors and let it auto adjust everything. It played pink noise and made some ticking. The EQ adjustments probably wont fit everyones preference but it was a good start in the right direction! I will say the stock headunit BLOWS. Everything is stock but my headunit.

put beds in the bed

 

i literally see what you did there

 

30 Bucks total!! Sorry no night pics yet

 

They're plates that basically extend the place where you're tying into the frame for a more secure fit. I believe they're well worth about $65 for more peace of mind if you ever have to winch or pull from the bumper.

Got my Relentless bumper mounted the other day.

 

Intermitten wipers!

 

Got rims and tires installed...cheapest place I could find was the dealer...they have a policy to meet or beat any price out the door. These rims and tires cost me $1550 out the door after lugs, mount and balance, NitroFill, and road hazard.

 

Clean looking truck!

 

So far I got Cooper LT AT3s that maybe should have had installer put black side out. Oh well. Back in the '70s we painted the letters, hahaha. Silverstar bulbs light up the road so much better. In-channel vent shades and last but not least, D-ring tie-downs on the forward sidewalls of the bed.

 

Where did you find those? Google'd around a bit and couldn't find anything.

 

Finally installed my rotopax!

 

keep an eye on them. PSUtaco85 had his break and fall off onto the trail. Luckily someone was behind him otherwise he would of lost them. The 5/16" bolt holding them sheared and he wasn't driving hard. Seems those mounts need some stronger all thread for sure.

 

Grade 8 would do the trick.

 

X2....

They look like they aren't even grade 5... just some basic crap off the shelf.

 

YEa was looking at them and thought to myself that wont hold under load and the added stress of bouncing around. I was going to go with the same setup but glad to have the Scepter can.

 

Yeah I saw Ant post that a while back...that is why they are still empty and will stay that way until I can get that figured out. Thanks for the help though!
