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

Just sold my bike. Perfect excuse to order my Smittybilt X20 winch!

 

Relocated my plate to the tailgate Bc upcoming bumper will be SO TUKT, there won’t be room for a plate. The silicone license plate holder came in clutch. Nice to not have the plate directly on the tailgate. Still need to actually splice the pigtails into my factory wiring. Bumper will be FS anyday now for local AZ peeps.

 

If you have the 255’s (I can’t remember who posted them) I’ve been running them for almost 60,000 miles now on stick gears. I had them in the 4cyl Tacoma and swapped them onto this truck. I tow quite a bit in the mountains and they have been fine on stock gears. I have the Cooper heavy E rated this ones

 

Why you getting rid off f SOS rear?

 

We use a Green Elephant utility tent doubles as bathroom and shower and a lugaloo for the potty. The utillitent folds up flat and is easy to store and the lugaloo is basically a bucket

Not affiliated, I just actually got stupid lucky for a change. dropped it in my cart a week ago (for my bike...it get to 11.7 -11.8 and doesn't wanna wake up) I forgot about it, went back in there for something else and had the price drop notification. Thought I'd share

 

It'd be hard for that truck to look any better than it does. I'm in the less is more camp, and that truck is the business.

 

I was think something similar like a roof rack curtain or something, then either a camplux or pressurived pvc for shower.

the toilet is the tough part haha used a bucket type setup with a bag and she wasnt a fan lol. Her whole thing is it needs to be clean and she doesnt want to carry waste around. Although I wonder if there is a bag that leaks liquid but holds solid waste?

 

As much as I love it, I want something with a single tube tucked up really high along the fender cut/back with a hitch in the middle. My local fab guy builds some cool crawler bumpers & that’s what I want.

 

I removed the blower motor yesterday and can now confirm that it is 5.5mm.

There was just a small leaf in the blower causing the vibration. All fixed.

 

Yikes, that's heavvvvyyy

 

Heavy duty.

 

I've been wanting to do this mod since day 1.

 

Heavy=Protected. Stock skids are garbage. Ask me how I know. If you don’t rock crawl, then heavy skids are useless. if you do crawl then you need to protect the truck.

I have already bent the inner tie rods in my steering rack and warped the seals, dented the shit out of my stock skids, LCAs, etc. So I too have added full steel skids and steel bumpers. Next will be upgraded shackle hangers and steering.

My truck is getting heavier and heavier. But so what? That’s how I use it. If mpgs matter get a Prius. Otherwise fuck it, it’s a truck, use it.

 

About time! What the hell took you so long?

 

The shipment total was 625lbs.

 

Man this thing is impressive!!

 

I am finishing up my "add an outlet" mod today. Completed the 400W anytime mod yesterday and swapped the 400W/100W push button (with the Diff Lock) as it was hidden by the steering wheel, due to my seating position.

Before:



After:

 

I haven’t heard of a bag that does that...but you might consider making a mixture of cedar hamster/pet shavings, peat or sphagnum moss, and a little lightweight potting soil. Then drop a handful in before and after. The compost mix absorbs most of the moisture and the cedar acts as a deodorant. The mix is fairly lightweight but requires some space to store. Did this for a long time before moving to a two piece portable flusher.

 

Ok, that sucks but it's really kind of funny. Most people can't even get that damned nut off because of rust. Yours literally came loose and made a break for it!!
