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

Fixed my chirping blower motor, somehow managed to blow the fuse. Don't know how or why.

I'll most likely be ordering a relentless DIY bumper next week, who has some input on the hoop or headlight gaurds? I'm trying to decide which to go with

 

Ordered a OEM bed mat.

 

Waiting for my fenders
Too broke after kings and mt

 

Siiiiiiick!! Love the green man!!

 

I bought a set of BFG KO2's and had them mounted up. What a difference from the KM2's! So much more quiet and smooth! I'm gonna try and find a cheap set of wheels for the KM2's for when I do some tougher wheeling trips, since they have more than half their tread left.

 

New battery courtesy of Toyota....

 

Took the chrome covers off of the mirrors and added a couple of ammo cans for straps and stuff. I'm trying to un-pimp my ride

 

Decided to do some front end work....

Time for a pelfreybilt.

 

I really like how center console looks painted. What paint and prep methods did you use?

I just got my truck back on Thursday from almost doing the exact same front end work. I went back to stock though. Cost me a $4100 dollar bill.

 

Took my daughter to cheer at her football game...

And then filed an accident report... Other drivers are fucking idiots!!!

All the space in the world and the woman in the Durango managed to hit both of our vehicles!!!!







They pretty much had a parking spot and a half to get their POS Durango into... And they manage to hit not ONE but TWO vehicles?!?!?!

Just hit 7k on the odometer this morning!

 

WTF?! They seriously need to start revoking peoples' driver's license for this shit.

 

Wow. Unreal. It looks like it might have been worse if you didn't have steps but that really sucks.

 

I think this qualifies for the "ASS HOLE PARKING" thread.

Definitely posting to the asshole parking thread!!! I just can't fathom how she managed to hit both vehicles with all that room!

Wish she would've at least got one of my bumpers... I'd try to swing for steel as a replacement!

May try to get some sliders out of the this deal at least!

I haven't looked underneath and I hope the steps didn't damage the rocker panels any.

Luckily all 3 of us had Allstate, so hopefully it will be a smooth process.

Taking her in Tuesday to get the damage appraised. I think I should at least get new oem doors front and rear and a new predator step on that side.

What about diminished value? Anyone know how that works? I mean the truck is 7 months old and I can't say it has never been wrecked now. What percent drop is there between a once wrecked 2015 Tacoma and a never wrecked 2015 Tacoma? How much should I ask for?

 

No idea what the value drop is, but it's mostly superficial body damage (rocker panels unknown). Hopefully it's not too much, but would certainly go for broke getting as much as you can. New steel bumpers and sliders can be expensive.

 

Appreciate it! I just ran out there and quickly looked underneath it and it all looked ok. Hopefully the appraiser says the same thing.

And yeah, definitely going to go for as much of the diminished value as I can!

 

Attempted to flex and see if my rear tires would stuff in the wheel well with out issues

 

Installed my EGR side window visors....was hoping they stopped more of the wind turbulence than they do but still like them:




Added a new flashlight to my flashlight holder behind the seat I just found out was there:



And added a led stick on light under console hood so I can see how to open my console vault at night without having to turn the overhead light on:

 

How do you like the console vault??
