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

I have the same style wheels on my Tacoma:


17X9

 

Tried to put my spacers on the back wheels.... But looks like someone torqued my lug nuts on and I don't have a torque gun... Fml

Got a breaker bar or metal tubing laying around?

 

Alloy wheels. Probably needs a certain torque spec and a torque wrench.

 

I am probably stating the obvious but make sure the tires on the ground before breaking the nuts.

 

Since he said someone torqued them on I was assuming he was trying to take them off. But yes, it would be correct to torque them to spec when putting them back on. After typing this though, not sure why you would start the spacer job if you don't have something to torque to spec with since that's a pretty important part of putting on spacers.

 

Got rid of the chrome grille surround.

 

Break bar and this worked lol. I brain farted. Was so excited I got side tracked and lifted it before loosening them lol. It's been a long day

 

Good deal!!! Merry Xmas!! You have a sweet truck!

 

This!

 

Thanks man, I have a bit to go still but I am happy as hell with my progress so far.

This is right before the spacers.

 

Because I fucked up and I mistook what they did. I thought they had torqued the lug nuts, turns out I was just a bit happy go lucky and needed to calm down and reassess what I was doing. and also, I borrowed my neighbors torque gun to get it to spec. But

 

I finally mounted my Ultra Gauge. I just couldn't decide on the location until today.

 

I would hope they torqued the lug nuts... I hope everyone always torques the lug nuts when they put them on. Not sure why that's a problem for taking them off and installing spacers though

 

How did you get them to fit? I'm guessing you have to bend the contacts over to make it like the original bulb?

 

Yeah, they were on the truck when I bought it. I was looking for a Tacoma that already had custom wheels. I really like these. I've added the headlights, custom grill, bull bar, new stereo / dash kit, roof rack, etc...

 

It's actually not a sticker. 3D dome gel, same material as the WeatherTech logo.

Fyi, he can't do anymore TRD logo because of copyright issues.

 

Made the arch for lighting and tarp camping

 

Haha it's an older Toyota car that was snowed in. They had a note on the window "please don't tow. Will be back during summer to retrieve car" I thought it was the funniest thing ever.
