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

Looks great. You swept the driveway! jk

 

That film on the reflectors looks awesome. I wish I had done that.

Shipping is probably going to a bitch from BC, Canada, but I'll look around the garage if you like.

 

@TheNatural do you ever swing up to calgary ?

Not often. Why do you ask?

 

Installed a hidden USB port that's hard wired to the battery to keep the gadgets charged without wires everywhere.

 

Hey thanks for this. I think the ones I have are the smaller ones so I will have to see how they fit. Thanks for the tip. They look great on the truck by the way

 

My trucks going downhill fast this year since warranty is up soon. +3.5 LT waiting on coil overs . Fenders, front and rear bumpers, cab mount relocation, new sliders, 35s and gears on the way.

 

just curious, I always like to keep track of who's near by and active

 

I really like the look of some the wraps i've seen in this thread. where would i start if i wanted to do the same? is there another thread on here?

 

Recently installed sub box w/amp from mr marv. What should/could I do about the exposed metal i have left across the back wall? should i just put sound deadner there and leave it like that. or is there some kind of felt/carpeting i can put there? ideas?

 

I've seen pictures where other owners cut their factory units write where the sub meets. Then leave that small piece across the top.

 

New member here. Just ordered a fog light kit and Custom Grills Mesh kit with TOYOTA lettering. I'll have photos after this weekend. Trucks are all looking great on here guys.

 

Welcome to TacomaWorld Jon. If your experience is anything like mine, that order will be a tiny drop in the bucket after you spend more time here and find many more things to add to your truck.

 

What kind of fog lights did you order? I picked up a pair of Morimoto fog lights and they are bright! The good thing is the LEDs reflect as a beam, not all over the place like HID's in halogen bulb housings.

 

Thank you. I have always loved reg cab trucks but also not a big fan of power everything so I a few years ago I picked up a 2013 red, reg cab 2.7 4x4, 5 speed with wind up windows. Absolutely love the truck and she gets me everywhere. I put new sneakers on her (Firestone destination AT) on the stock 16" steelies and they look and drive great. Now I'm doing a few mods like the Custom Grill and fog lights. But I would like to lift it 2"-2.25" in the front to level it out. Thinking of going with the Ready Lift coil spacers. A little hesitant due to all the folks on here saying its bad for the truck and others saying its fine. My taco is my daily driver and the wife would kill me if I caused something to fail prematurely so weighing my options.

 

I ordered them from Kramer Accessories on Amazon. Should be an easy install. Did some reading and they are a good OEM replacement seeing as my 2013 just has the plastic inserts where the fog lights would have been if they came from the factory. My truck was the cheapest 4x4 on the lot and thats what I wanted. Hopefully I'll have a new grill on and fog lights come Sunday afternoon. (PS- the wifes out of town for the weekend so SHOP TIME!!!! & beer)

 

I have the ReadyLift 3"/2" lift/level setup on mine. Dealer installed. If anything fails it's covered under ReadyLift's warranty. I've got about 15k miles and a couple of mosly mild offroad adventures on it and still runs great. Biggest complaint is the drive line change, but the Toyota techs said that the lift/level change is negligible. Anything beyond 3"/2" will require more mods.

 

Thanks Sean, Im thinking 2.25" coil spacers up front and 1" in the rear. I had some pretty decent off road time at hunting camp dragging deer out of the woods with stock set up and the Destination ATs on and she did great! Also made it up a 300 yard steep rocky climb with 5 guys in the bed. So basically I just want to level her off and keep my wheel/tire setup. I have read a lot about noises and shakes of all sorts after any kind of lift, especially with the diff drop but I think the 2.25 is minimal enough to avoid those problems. Thanks for the heads up though man.
