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

Thanks! I was thinking of doing them myself but instead I decided to have them powder coated. Best decision I ever made.

 

parked next to a 2016 today. got a lil jealous of the wheels. nice trucks.

 

Got Coupe's battery tie-down. Nice piece of work. Textured black with machined TRD.

 

Details on this mod?

Typically these will lose the color red & white color chips. Mine went after a winter of being mounted. So I removed the emblem, roughed up the surface, made sure the emblem was perfectly even then dripped white and red paint on it and let it sit to dry. Looks new again. I also discovered the mounting hardware had rusted. I fabricated some aluminum flat stock, drilled a couple holes and use a stainless steel bolt and washers to mount the emblem. It is sturdier then the stock mounting hardware and no more rust to worry about. Keep an eye on it.

 

That's the only place that can align my front end like 99.9% right

Everywhere else messes it up or get worse

 

Awesome. Exactly the mod that's next on my list. May I ask where you got the lights? Thanks

 

Awesome! I'd like to do something similar but I'm not sure what "Benson X's guide" is? Anymore info or a link on this? Thanks.

Edit: Cancel this. I found the link you provided. Thanks, man

 

Well, technically it was yesterday, but did an oil change, air filter, cabin filter, and spark plugs.. 53k on original plugs.. Filters looked original too. I bought it in November.

 

Washed my 06 to see what color it was and then took it golfing with me.

 

Painting the pinch weld

 

My wife of almost 30 years said she will help me install my sliders with me today, now thats one hell of a woman.

 

What did she shoot?

 

I've had mine on for several months now with no issues. I painted the hardware with Rust-Oleum rust reformer before mounting it. So far, so good. If the badge fades I'm going to paint it red or maybe gray. And if the hardware starts to go south I'll just replace it with some stainless.

 

I cheated and bought the oem black running boards to avoid this.

 

I actually installed mine below the honey comb. It is set back and out of the sun. Held up pretty good so far.

 

Ive been considering this for a while, dip or paint?

 

Made this sub box for behind the driver seat in my access cab. Have a few spots with expanded on the exterior so kept the same theme
