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

Looks good Z!

You can order the grilles through me if you're interested. I am a distributor for DB. Lots of custom options, so let me know what you're looking for.

 

Got them used from a fellow TW member. All it took was a drive down to MD and then I had to order all of the mounting hardware. No hit on shipping costs to get the sliders to PA

Which is a good thing... I kind of wish I could lock myself out of the 'shopping' forum of this site for a month or two. Between some of the really great group buys this summer and things in the 'for sale' section, my wallet really hurts right now.

 

@InTheRough link to the Amazon pods?

 

I think this is the part number but I'm not sure if it's specific to the color. I called Camelback Toyota because BRM wasn't actually listed on their website. But they have em for the same price.

So using 1/2" copper pipe, I've come up with a "Glare Guard MOD" that effectively eliminates the glare that plagues LEDs Headlights in open-faced enclosures.

On a standard halogen, the glare guard sits just below the low beam filament:


My "Glare Guard MOD" is shaped to cut lowbeam emitter's light from the lower half of the enclosures reflector without doing the same to the highbeam emitter. Notice only the lowbeam emitter's lower half is obsured when viewing it from the side:


Here is the lowbeam pattern before:


Here is the lowbeam pattern with the "Glare Guard MOD" notice the top of the hotspots on the garage door are cutoff:


Works perfect!

I personally think you can, def wouldnt get the thickest stuff on the market though.

 

Fixed this:

Gas tank guard was bent into the driveshaft.

 

I bet that made some unusual noises!

 

Nope. It made exactly the grinding, whirring, metal on metal WTF is wrong wih my truck noise youd expect

 

Genius! Awesome.

 

Been there!

 

Washed And Waxed Her Up.

 

You should have dynamat'd it while you were in there nice mod!

 

How much did you buy? I've been wanting to do the same.

 

I'm pretty sure it was the trunk kit, 20sq/ft if I recall correctly. I used every last bit of it and it covered just about everything.

 

Doors, back wall and roof too? Or just the floor?

 

The floor looks to be 4x5 feet ish what do you think lol

 

Thanks, dick.

 

I just did the floor.

 

Changed the oil. Oil was very black from only 3200 miles of driving. Dealer said it was changed there, but didn't use a factory drain plug gasket. Weird.
