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

^^^ Chrome don't get ya home!

 

That is actually my son's headlights on his 2008 Taco we polished up.

I already had my melting DTRL replaced on the 2010 a few months ago.

 

Just posted this on Pelfreybilt's page as well but I got to see how everything bolted up on my truck and felt like whoring it out a little more Couldn't ask for any better fitment! Still have to get it line-x'd tomorrow

 

Plasti-dipped my stock steelies today.

 

After all the work you did with vinyl wrap. Is there a reason you didnt vinyl wrap the bumper black? Just asking man. I dipped mine too. Im sure its easier than wrapping. But you got the whole vinyl wrap thing down man. Great looking truck.

Got the Cooper ST Maxx 33"ers installed, retrofitted Daystar airbag cradles in the rear, and bumped the 5100s up from 0.85 to the 2.5" setting. Busy weekend.

 

2015 4Runner

 

Nice Maxx's!

 

For everybody wanting to freshin up your headlights... You can water sand with a 1000 grit sand paper and clear over them (preferably with a high quality automotive paint clear) but a good regular spray can should work fine. You'll have a better or clearer result compared other methods imo.

 

installed my new front and rear kings and dirt king uca and gg lighting curved 50 light bar.

 

Drove it 2000 miles from Arkansas to Oregon. Made me wish for more leg room... Averaged 16 mpg.. Pretty happy with that for a lift, bumper and all...
Now in a few days I get to drive back with a puppy!

 

I installed a UWS bed box using some Better Built aluminum mounting hardware that just hooks into the bed rail (so no drilling).

Also put in a pair of LED flood lights behind the grill.

 

Painted my front recovery points.

 

You just use a normal spray paint clear coat?

 

Unfortunately...nothing! I caught pneumonia two weeks ago and I'm still recovering. Totally sucks cuz I have all the parts to do electrical!

 

I would suggest an actual clear coat but I guess that just depends on your abilities or if you have a buddy that can spray it. Rattle can probably wouldn't turn out with the best results in my opinion.

I just know when I did mine they looked great but over the last year I can see a lite haziness coming back like when small scratches all over acrylic.

 

Word. I used a kit similar to this years ago on my old car and it looked great at first but a few months later it looked worse than it originally was. Since then I've been kinda skeptical about these restoration kits

 

Getting my front windows tinted right now. Went with llumar ceramic pinnacle 50% tint to keep it legal here in VA.
