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

Just got myself a shorter 17" raptor antenna. I was going to buy a shorter stubby one, but I didn't want to lose reception since I do listen to the radio a lot. I love the look/ functionality of this one, so what do you guys think?

 

Nice, I like it. I went with a hidden antenna, but if I went with a short one I would do what you did.

 

Ya, I did the ghetto version but this is the pop&lock kit:

Installed my kings and light racing upper control arms aswell as 295/75/16 Nitto Terra Grapplers on Offroad wheels, have the resi mounts sitting in the back seat aswell

 

Thank you Sir!

Much Appreciated! love my Taco!

hehe, thank you.. it wa actually in the Toyota dealerships service bay, as they were giving her her first courtesy oil change, hehe

yes, i snapped a quick one (forgive me, its semi dark, as i was in the garage.. its just a peice of 1/4 inch carbon steel, that i drilled som holes in and used stainless steel threaded rod.. i opted to bolt it to the tire rack, instead of welding it.. I then powdercoated the bracket.. i will get you a pic of the tire in the bed when it gets light out. hehe

dont mind the dirt in the pic, i didnt clean it off when the pic was snapped

 

Thanks Riverdog! ... How is the reception on your hidden antenna?

 

Correct

 

It's pretty good. Maybe not quite as good as the stock antenna? If there's a difference, it's marginal. I don't listen to the radio that much so it works great for me. Have you had a chance to put your new antenna through the paces yet?

 

Looking good trigo! Have you cycled it yet to see what if any trimming is needed?

 

This was my thought also.

 

Planned the design of my retrofit:

 

So... in total u would be using 4 Toyota Avaolons headlights??

 

Correct. Two projectors per headlight, for four lenses per headlight.

 

She got all new eyes. All csjumper except headlights and went with Lifetime just cause...they are lifetime and im not selling this rig for many many many years.

 

Damn baller dude lol, but ur TRS so im sure it is not hard for u to get your hands on those projectors.

But i totally dig your new setup idea than your old one.

 

Nice can you get some night shot of he lights!?

Might have to get a set of these

 

Just blew a PIAA bulb this morning. Those bulbs are crap and lasted less than a year.

Looking into the Lifetime LEDs, let us know how they progress.

 

The tires are 265/75-16. As for the sway bar...not for a while. The truck is my daily driver and a sway bar is a safety feature I want to leave intact for now.

 

Mine too

But she doesn't get pissed when I eyeball other Tacomas so it's all good.

 

New wheels. Went with the method NV's. Couldn't be happier
