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

$40.

 

Been heavily considering this. Lol. I just dont want it to look obviously different

 

You could derp it then rattle can it with auto zone duplicolor paint. Temporary and color matched.

 

Hmmm..

New shoes. BFG AT T/A KO2 in 265/75R16 on stock TRD OR alloys. Yes, they are Load Range E. Yes, I know they are heavy and that they will take a toll on my fuel economy. Yes, I am very happy with my choice.

 

basically i used a scotch pad and gave the chrome a surface first
then hit it with this paint

then sanded it with a 150 gritt
then a 220 gritt
then finally hit it with this

 

Years ago I bought a set similar to that for my new Jeep Cherokee. Almost identical to those including load range E. Those tires lasted about 90K miles and 9 years on that vehicle. Now unfortunately for my wife who ended up driving it daily to work and back, it rode like a log truck. The Tacoma is heavier so it will fair better than the Cherokee did. The Jeep is sporting new normal Hankook tires now.

 

Very early first impression is that they seem to ride a little better than the worn BFG AT T/A KOs (265/70R16) Load Range D that they replaced.

 

Thanks Man! I found a guy in New York that specializes in retrofitting headlights so gave him a call and soon after mailed him my headlights and just got them back. Should be getting them installed sometime in the next 2 weeks

 

Washed it and put the new emblem on.

 

The Charlotte Craigslist almost never has any good Tacoma parts. Well at least when I look.

 

Naw man, I was thinking about it... Idk what I'm gonna do, I may just get a new exhaust tip.

 

Well not today but the other day. Have needed a new one for quite some time just couldn't decide which one.

 

Thanks! Took me about 5 hours to complete. The hardest part is taking it off the Tacoma.

 

Nice!❄️
