What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

[slidoomz]

It’s not my truck but I helped install a LT kit on my friends Tacoma over the weekend. Jd fabrication +2.25 wide with 934 axles.

Where did you get the oem aluminum housing from? I just did some looking around and the one that’s about $30 appears plastic in the pics, but it looks like the same part number as the one that looks aluminum in other pictures.

Sorry for the late reply. I was camping in the middle Cameron County, PA.

I got everything from Amazon. I got the filter and housing kit. It comes with a tool for the filter housing and I didn't know about the Motivx tool and kit (link below) before I purchased it.

Got my 6112s lowered a notch to the 5th an 4th setting. Both were set on the 6th notch....hoping for a better ride.

 

[Trail Tacoma]

Got some photos edited from our last trip. Here's a little sneak peak.

I absolutely love the Trail 2nd Gen build. So much left to do.

Swing by my buddies body shop, had his Pdr guy work his magic. I’m 100% satisfied! He said if he had an hour more he’d gotten it 99%.

After an hour 1/2 with the Pdr guy:

After a couple years of beat to hell knees, I decided to get the SnailArmor tailgate flat panel cover. The install took about 10-15 minutes, and so far I'm loving the look and feel of it.

I also installed the Engine and Transmission skids from OK Expedition. They came as a set for $690 (US dollars as this company is from B.C. Canada) total, including taxes and shipping, it was one of the best priced sets in ALUM I could find. While they are built entirely out of ALUM, these babies are very solid and are constructed to take a beating (see last pic for underside construction).

Canadian skid manufactures?!? No way!!

 

[NATUREGARCON]

Canadian skid manufactures?!? No way!!

Yep!!! They are in Kelowna, BC, and shipping to Los Angeles was about $60 USD. I talked with a few people who have them and they all had nothing but good things to say about the skids and the company. So far I'm sold!

They look well made.

 

[NATUREGARCON]

They look well made.

They totally are. The middle stiffener plate, front gussets, and front attachment angle are all legit and everything is 1/4"; not to mention the welds look and are amazing! Total of 40#'s for both skids, so that helps with the other weight I have on the truck already (front & rear steel bumpers, steel sliders, winch, snugtop cap, prinsu cab rack, and last but not least 200#'s of doggos). Suspension, tires, and re-gear is all that's missing

 

[406Camper]

Not my Tacoma, but a rental. I was in Nevada for work, and managed to squeeze in a trail ride. This is just outside of Virginia City.

Got my baby back from the body shop. Looks like new.

Took a trip to Lowes to get a few deck boards. Was a bit nervous driving home with a couple of 12’ boards in a 5’ bed.

I put straps on just inside the bed, ratcheting them tight to the top of the tailgate. Usually takes care of the potential for slippage.

I used a strap from one hook just inside the bed, over the boards and to the other hook. I was nervous about them bouncing up from the other end when driving on the crappy CT roads.

Went to prairie city svra today I tried some of the obstacles, and hand lots of fun on the dirt track.

I did a partial oil change today. The filter shit got seized, so i am going to take it to a buddy with tools and see if they can uga uga it off.

 

[Trail Tacoma]

Not my truck, but snapped some rollers of my buddy's truck on the way back from the dunes!

 

[MJ'sTacoma]

Dropped the truck off for gears and a rear E locker, after a year of running 35s and all the weight possible lol

Installed this convenient tailgate storage. Works great for recovery gear, air up and down gear, and a tool roll. From Hurricane Fab in Australia. They just launched this and it’s on pre order currently.
