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

That works

 

Just bought a set of OPT7 C2 Series 8" LED combo light bars to go on either side of my winch mounted to the Undercover HWMS. can't wait to get them and show them off. While they aren't here or installed, I did so that for my Tacoma today. Plus I gave her a Bath new wax job to the winter grime off.

 

That's what I used and that shit isn't going anywhere.

 

I know. Some strong shit!!

 

-Got my license plates from the dealer
-Installed the rear and left the front unblemished, we'll see if I get busted for that
-Ordered Husky liners (X-act Contour, front and rear) and bed mat
-Noticed how the truck has taken on a nice yellow patina from all the pollen in the air...

 

I'm thinking of trying to use the same stuff to mount the LED strips that SMKYTXN used for rock lights. Pretty cheap and seem super effective.

I used that tape on the back of all of my LED strips (bed, canopy, and soon to be hood) I haven't had any issues with them coming off.

I always remember this video from when I was researching the product:

Guess I'll need a stick of fuckin dynamite to get these here little cupholders off if need be!!!!

 

man up ^

 

Bought a factory Toyota black TRD badge from the TRD Pro models. It wasn't cheap but I wanted it. Should have it in a few days

 

How much isn't cheap?

 

$45

 

2012 Tacoma, Full Blown TRD edition DCLB Sport;

I finally got some free time to myself ( off work for entire month ) and
realized that this is my trucks last day of the 3 year bumper to bumper warranty;

- decided that after my test drive of the new 2015 Canyon this morning
that my little tacoma pickup truck feels/looks/( smells?) exactly like it,
so much so that it convinced me that the TACOMA truck is the one to
keep. ( This morning )

If GM copied the Tacoma right down to the centre console, why bother
getting a GM product that WILL fail miserably down the road???

- Renewed the insurance after the test drive after this morning's
test drive,

- had a buddy weld some strips of AL on top of the PRINSU ROOF RACK
that I got last year from SCOTT, and started the base coat and 1st
coat of satin black on the roof rack and bars

- deboxed my 2013 "WET OKELE" seats covers. When I recieved them
I was too busy working shifts that were insane. Now, I've got the
time...forgot what I ordered to...they look sweet...

- Dreaming up some decals for it, trying to employ a "STEEL HORSE"
themed within the decal logo, unlike DEFCONBRIX's truck.

My truck is not a show truck, and all armour is STEEL on it, no
AL except for the winch fairlead. I want to go off road, and we
have shale out here in British Columbia. Say what you will about
sand, but shale destroys tires out here, and mine have survived well
for where I go.

Aluminum doesn't cut it, and ive seen way to many drive lines ripped
out on simple 4x4 runs to watch my truck die out there because I
didn't provide enough armour for it.

- OFF ROAD wiring to start tommorrow...

That's what I did today

 

Added a OEM bed mat, front tow hook, plate frames and a TRD emblem to the grill..... Under carriage wash and exterior wash & dry.....

 

Finally did my spark plugs for the first time at 70k ish miles. Average gap on the OEM ones was in the ball park of .070-.075. I wonder what my gas milage will jump to now haha.

Also adjusted my headlights (they were too low with the offroad bumper weighing the front end suspension down). I had been putting off thinking it'd be impossible to get a screw driver on the pass vert. adjustment. A 8mm wrench worked wonders and took about 5 seconds

 

Test fit 2 and let me know how it goes... I was considering the exact same thing but haven't gotten around to testing it out

 

Wet Okole group buy.

 

I should've been slapped for missing that group buy again. I want the charcoal and black covers.

 

Working up some pizza box armor for my TrailGear Rock Defense rear. Double swing out to follow.

 

Installed Wet Okole's purchase from GB. Nice!!
