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

No but I use to eat there every day and loved every bit of it..

 

Chuy's is pretty good, as is Chipotle's, but in this part of Texas Freebird's is "the bomb," as the kids used to say.

 

I just had a steak bowl.

 

Just a little somethin today

 

Finally got my knife to stop rattling around in my center console.

 

@Joshp767 (RCI Metalworks) Diff skid went on this weekend, great product at an amazing price. If you are in the market hit them up directly or contact @ToyTec Lifts to purchase.

 

Swapped in Depo black taillights and VLED reverse bulbs. From my build thread:

This is a comparison of the change in illumination with VLED 5k bulbs vs stock incandescent.

Notes:

• Inspection of both light assemblies on the bench revealed that the housings, lenses, and reflectors are identical in every way so much as one can tell without cutting them apart. I have pics of that, but not going to post them at this time.
• These photo were taken on two sequential days as close as possible to the the exact same spot and same time of night. Therefore, this is not an ideal scientific comparison. But I'm not a scientist. So STFU. The distance from the green garbage can on the passenger side is approx. 17ish feet from the rear bumper.
• Also note that the backup camera display refresh rate affects those shots. In reality, the VLEDs did do a better job on the backup cam, too, regardless of what you may think in the below pics.

EDIT: the product, repeated for convenience:






Some cosmetic de-chroming shots of the Depos

 

Looks like an improvement to me! Nice job sir

 

Agreed! Put mine on over the summer.

 

The bulbs will help until I can sort out more substantial reverse/work light option, likely 6-inch LEDs. But that may have bumper implications, and that isn't going to change anytime very soon.

More dechroming to come...@HomerTaco

 

You don't need to run a ground wire of that bracket. Just remove the paint/powdercoat really well and you'll be good to go.

 

Got my bumper finished up, painted and installed. Last piece of chrome is gone

 

damn nice!! did you make this?

 

Thanks man, yeah I built it.

Nice! I like the use of the gussets, form and function!!!
