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

So true haha

 

Where'd you get them lights for 140?

 

EBay. $137.

 

Installed Wheelers progressive AAL and TOYTEC Baja spring seats last night (much thanks to Dan at Wheelers!). The setup appears to have brought the truck to ~2.5"-3" all around and kept a level stance, which is what I was going for. Initial driving impressions to the alignment shop this morning were positive. The ride feels more planted/stiffer in a good way (kind of hard to describe). Time will tell on the overall driving impressions.

Now to start saving for some 255-85/16's!

 

Looks good. I can't decide if I want to get a set of those (fronts though) or find a cheap used pair to BLHM

 

I appreciate your advice, it doesn't look that dark in person honestly. I can still see red in them. As for the lights, they light up just fine. Maybe I'll sand down the led part a little more then so it will thin it out some.

 

Went to Discount Tire to have my stock tires mounted to my Level 8's. Walked out with the Level 8's and Cooper Discoverer ATPs in 265/70/17. I love the looks and they ride really nice compared to the stock Dunlops. Still waiting for my TRD center caps, so I dipped the Level Caps black for now.

 

Those Level 8's look a lot like my FN BFD's.

 

How is the light output at night with the bar mounted there? I want to do the same but not sure how well the light will spread. Spot flood combo? Did you need to hack up any of the lower valance at all?

 

Yeah if you make a video maybe you van post the link and your impressions on the output. I don't want to cut the cross members on the valence and like the stealth look, but am hoping it still throws out some decent light from where it is. Did you go with an AVEC bar? That's what I've been looking at as an alternative to rigid.

 

Looks awesome. I have the same rims except black I'm having mounted next week

 

Got my coolant and tranny fluid flushed, installed spacers, changed my spark plugs, and took out the windows from my bestop. Found out that with the spacers I was rubbing on the front mud flaps/air dam things, so i pulled those off too

 

For the ones wondering about the light output of my tinted "blacked out" tail lights.

 

Brackets? Or just mounted to crash bar?

 

looks good, what spacers did you put in?

 

Flushed and refilled my coolant and found out my valve gasket is leaking. Woo freakjng hoo!

 

Thanks! They're Spidertrax and I believe 1.5". May be 1.25" though.. I got them used from a local member.

 

Installed front and rear weathertechs and a truxedo tonneau cover. Waiting on a couple more packages.

 

Not a damn thing. I'm too pissed off over the paint issues to do much other than maintenance. Toyota and their paint issues...If I didn't love them so much (I also have a 2014.5 Camry SE), I would find something else to drive. Yes, I'll be buying a 2016+ Tacoma, lol

 

I have an avec 30 inch optic bar in the same spot. However I chopped the valance and used the rigid mounting brackets. Looks awesome and is bright as hell! I recommend their company.
