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

Installed led (raptor lights) on my 07 reg cab with an 11 grille.Connected to the drls.

 

Same as the others - Air on board.

 

De-badged the tailgate. There is 0 evidence now that this is a PreRunner. But seriously, all the chrome badges and Leer stickers were overkill

 

Installed new rear shocks, cab air filter replaced, glove box shock absorber hooked up, 5 pin trailer wiring installed.

 

Ahhhh haven't quite installed it yet... Because I just ordered my Relentless Fab Rear Plate Bumper!

 

Yes...Hoegaarden is the shit!...

Bro...After completing the first taillight I've decided not to do the other one. You can take your time with this project and in the end you're still gonna see flaws. You just can't cut off the lens of a factory sealed light and not have some kind of fissure and the resealed edges just show too much sealant/glue under the surface when resealed which is really noticeable and not up to my OCD standards...lol I did end up painting a border around the lights as well to hide the sealant and fissures in the plastic, but nah...no likey..

I ordered the "Spec-D" taillights anyways, so I wasn't worried about F'ing up the project. If it was a Bake like the fronts which I did a couple months ago...those came out like OEM's since no cutting required. Good luck for all you guys doing the taillight mod!...

I have the OTRATTW switches and you're correct...they're easy to bump on. The factory switches don't have the same Wow factor, but they're more practical in design I guess. I think both switches look outstanding in form and function. Guess it's just a matter of taste in the end...

 

Thanks, off to spend more money.....

 

Ahh glove box shock absorber. Mine won't stay hooked for more than 2 or 3 cycles. Any secrets to learn?

 

Ripped off the pass front fender flare. Now I gotta order some clips and cut it to fit to keep from rubbing the tire again.

 

Took out my interior center console area to paint it but didn't get to work on it because I had to finish painting a dresser for my daughter's room.. So my truck is sitting there very empty looking right now... But my daughter's room looks great with a new dresser! Haha tomorrow I'll have to try painting the console and probably install some LEDs

 

I took a small pebble and wedged it inbetween one of the plastic snap things, but you could use a piece of wood or something too

 

I had to use a small wood screw to wedge the plastic pieces open.

 

small well placed wood screw

order extra!

Ive had my flares off prolly 4 times in the last 2 months, it aint fun........... remember to run the clips 1/4 turn clockwise, then pull with needle nose.

Roadhead access modification

 

Hahahaha ^^^

 

any one know if you can run just the blue ones or just the orange ones or is it imperative to run both?

 

u must run both, they are different sizes

also, I tried some from Ebay and not only were the colors switched, but they still didnt fit.

buyer beware............ they arent too expensive from the dealership, and I have NEVER had a problem with fitment from the dealer

 

Well damn. I was about to order this lot of 100 from ebay

 

as soon as I paid the small fee for a BAGILLION orange and blue clips --->
as soon as I seen they didnt fit right and broke 1 trim piece --->



YMMV tho...........the shit prolly all comes from 3 or 4 plants in china

 

That supposed to be an insult? I want my interior black instead of gray and it was beat up a bit. And really dirty... nice to clean it up good.

 

I think he was saying it'd be easier to get a head jobber from the wife...
