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

Nope, didn't go all pinch gasket tight......went more than hand tight tho.................

 

New To the Site. Not much as far as major mods go. Below is what I have done so far. Not sure some would even be considered MODS.

My next MOD project is 1. Finding a reasonably priced 15 TRD Pro grill insert 2. Verifying fit and installing a Alpine Compact 8” sub under driver seat.



TRD Wheel/Tire Pkg, TRD Antenna, TRD Air Valve Cover, TRD Bed Mat, K&N Engine Air Filter, Bosh HEPA Cabin Air Filter, JCV KW-M730BT Apple Car Play, Interior LED lights, blackout 3rd brake, Window Tint, Hood and Window Air Deflectors, TRD Chrome Exhaust Tip, UWS Low Profile Tool Box, Toyota Trailer Receiver Cover.

 

Hello
I will be transporting a 24' ladder , and was wondering what the masses are using to protect the roof paint were a ladder will sit?
Pics would help but not needed.
Thanks'
Sean

 

If you want to be cheap, you can use bungee cords and some towels

 

Installed CT Sounds 6x9's and Rockford-Fosgate tweeters in the front doors and CT Sounds 6.5's in the rear doors. Pretty happy with the bass from the stock head unit.

 

Plug n Play?

 

Try a yoga mat then some padding on top. Yoga mat should keep it from slipping.

 

love it when you see this after a rain storm

 

As plug-n-play as speakers can be. Had to use the

$18 Metra 82-8146 6" x 9" Front Speaker Adapter for Select Lexus and Toyota Vehicles, Black, Apple

Metra 82-8146 speaker adapters behind the speaker itself to hold it to the door and the

$13 Metra 72-8104 Speaker Wire Adapters for Select Toyota Vehicles - 4 Total Adapters

Metra 72-8104 speaker connecters to convert from the factory wiring to the two wire leads that the speaker needed, but install is straightforward when it's all combined.

 

Write up please?

 

I would put a folded towel on the cab and tape some pool noodles to the ladder and tie that sucker down tight and ride.

get pool noodles, and cut them down the middle then you can put them around the frame of the ladder. Badda Bing Badda Boom! Thats what I do with my canoe.

 

I was thinking the blue foam for canoes..

 

I wouldn't strap it too tight. I did that with a kayak and push the roof in. I had to use a pulled to pop it out.

 

yeah... I have a couple ladder size dents on my roof too... Firm, but gentle...

But I laid a folded blanket down under the ladder so it wouldn't scratch anything.

 

Didn't do anything today, because work.

But Saturday...



Then Sunday I washed, clay bar, polished out some of the scratches, and plan to wax today or tomorrow.

Ordered ext Fox shocks for the rear to replace the leaky 5100s from @HeadStrong Off-Road

Thank you. Trying to decide if I like the look of them or not. With my back window tinted 20% I essentially dont have reverse lights, even with led up grades. have been researching alternative options. I dont like when they hang from the back bumper, and I like the chase light brackets, but i have tonnoeu cover.
