What have you done to your Tacoma today?

Women... If only they were an app: I'd have definite confirmation on purchases, freedom to use as needed, and best of all, no complaints about "that f***ing truck"!!

If I could treat my wife like my truck, I'd ride her hard and put her away dirty!!
But I'm better than that...
I'll spend a good hour going over the curves and getting in the cracks; the lady just gets the towel
 
Not exactly "today", but here's my compilation of stuff...
First thing I ever did was dip my grille and emblem (who cares). It lasted several months before getting a few tiny chunks taken out of it, so I peeled it. Learned my first lesson about having not applied enough decent coats to a large area because the grille peeled off in chunks due to thin, uneven layers.
Got paranoid of someone f***king with my tailgate and damaging the rear camera, so I installed this little guy...

Eventually, I got this Flowmaster Super 10 muffler with turndown tip. Ain't the greatest, but it gets my panties wet... (I mean their's)

Later that day, my family-friend Bill and Allen, the new proprietor of Revtek, stuffed their kit in my Taco.

I applied these Revtek stickers to compliment the merging of units (their kit and my truck)

A month later, I got a mani-pedi for my truck by getting the alignment taken care of at Toyota whilst also having them flip the white lettering of the Rugged Trails inward and applying tape weights instead of the fugly clip weights*. I then made plans to derp (plasti dip) the wheels, but got lazy and just derped the center caps.

*They didn't account for rotating the wheels in the future, so the front caliper reverse braking pins (as I'm told) didn't clear the tape weights and I skipped out on the first rotation. At 10k miles, I opted back for the clip weights on two of the wheels making my plan for completely derping the wheels somewhat flawed. Oh well. I kinda like the way they look now and eventually I'll be getting rims when I replace the tires. :)
After a few months of ASSisting* my wife into my now "sky-high" Taco, I installed these 3" wheel to wheel N-Fab step rails.

*(I still play grab-ass when offering to help my wife in and out of the truck, can't help myself)
Months went by without touching my Taco, but I finally got a locker for it.

I removed the deck rails and drilled a small hole in each to allow the j-hooks for the locker to mate with the deck rails (smart idea, dude)

After a month or so, I re-dipped the grille and emblem. Within a week, I got that itch to continue doing stuff and I did the anytime fogs mod.

(Meant to add this to my previous post, but I messed up)
By the way, that finally wraps up the list of mods to my Taco...
 
Used my taco to install a few kitchens today. And broke 1000 miles

My brother was going to move my truck to get to his car and he happened to get stuck in the mud...smh. This is why you don't let a person with 0 off-roading knowledge go into the dirt ImageUploadedByTaco Forum1420383246.626383.jpgImageUploadedByTaco Forum1420383264.074481.jpgImageUploadedByTaco Forum1420383285.027666.jpg
 
Getting ready for the cold snap. Its going from 60 down to -2 by Tuesday night. I rainxed all windows and side mirrors. Then used silicone spray on the seals
Hopping it helps with scraping and windows sticking shut in the morning.
