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

Looks like I'm not the only one who spent the weekend modding. Relocated the trailer plug, thanks to @bullaculla. Got the hi lift mounted thanks to @Benson X. Also did the diff breather mod to the small cubby by the outlet and got the pelican case mounted to the topper rack, nothing too difficult but i can now cross these off the list!

 

Got tired of touching up my plasti-dipped grill and ordered a color matched.
Lots of bugs here in Fla lead to scrubbing through the dip all the time.

 

I debated all black vs black and chrome, definitely no more chrome, if I had the cash for new all black wheels I would have gone all black.

Took the atv and the tacoma for a ride

 

Yesterday, I wet sanded and buffed my Satoshi grille and installed it -



then realized I needed to paint the AC condenser black -



It looks way better now -



I also spent roughly 6 hours detailing the engine bay -

 

Well, bought the new pro series matte black wheels, put some toyo's on and flexi- dipped w/ glossifiered the TRD cap to loose the the red logo- the match is superb. Next install my new 2015 pro series grill- done

 

Got rear ended by a late model Dodge Caravan as I was stopped waiting for a train to pass. Luckily I left my trailer hitch ball on the truck so that went right into his bumper and stopped him, no damage to my truck, just some paint transfer on the ball.

 

Bought the better half a used 2014 Passat S Wolfsburg, installed the baby seat mod and convinced her that sliders are an investment!!

 

Did you take it off before spray painting it black? Also, did you use high-temp spray paint, or just regular?

 

New LED dome lamp and LED strips wired into door fade circuit.

 

Not sure what he did, but you don't have to take it off, just watch where you're spraying and don't spray if it's a windy day. Use high temp paint

 

That looks sick! I want to do it so bad. Currently waiting on my blue led dome and map lights, the floor lights would be a sweet addition. Was there a thread you followed or do you just have mad skills?

 

Wire them so they have constant power and then ground them on the dome lights ground wire. They will fade on and off with the dome. You could add a switch in line for one with dome/off/on anytime too.

The dome ground wire is the blue on running down the driverside a-pillar, behind the plastic grab handle stuff.

Mad skills. But there are lots of threads in the forum that can help you.

 

Yeah, like the one this guy posted

 

drove by it on the dealer lot the other day.

 

Finally picked up some new meats. Pretty stoked on these bad boys.

 

Oooohhhh there's a good looking truck!

 

Had those on my old diesel, pretty good tire.
