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

Sorry if already asked but what program is that?

 

Solidworks 2016

 

Holy shit you're fast.

 

Did you tape it off? What's your method for clean lines on the lettering

 

Got a camera to install into my taco : costco 84$ around same price as Amazon ones, all the features plus better return policy auto start 2 hour loop with 8gb card comes with it

I only taped of the center portion to paint the DSM. There's no secret trick for the lettering. I bought a bottle of the factory super red touch up paint and used the tapered brush. There is a need for a steady hand and patience. Go slow and don't try to go back over anything too soon after you apply the first coat. Let it set for a few minutes then go over it again. Mine got a little bumpy cuz I had a learning curve. I went over it all with a white Brillo pad to buff off any over spray. Cleaned with alcohol then applied three coats of the Dupli-color clear coat. Thanks for the like.

 

haha.. I had just clicked on the thread.

 

KEEPER

 

Depends on what you are comparing them to.

 

Looks great, I'm jealous. I had a heck of a time painting the stamped TRD on my skid plate from BPF. It was so bad- luckily my wife stepped in and stopped the bleeding. Looks like it makes it fun to pop the hood, hopefully you installed some Redlines!

 

May end up painting the pipe on my CAI & the shroud then maybe the oil fill neck. Thanks bro! I'm gonna get the skid plate soon. That may be all though. I don't want it too gaudy looking.

 

Got them pretty well cleaned up today. Coming out better than I thought. Found out that the Rustoleum aluminum paint I have pretty much matches the wheels so I'm gonna repaint the caps as they are the normal Yota yellow/brown plastic with no silver left. And no, I didn't paint the wheels, they just come out looking a nice satin color...think I'll leave them as is! Are the wheels you have 15's or 16's? They made those in both sizes. Lots of them around here in 15, not so many 16's.

 

You scored for sure! Looking good. The best price I found for OEM center caps was 40.00 each from Elmore Toyota out in Cali. It's good that you have them and can restore them. Mine are 16's and they don't work on the 2nd gen's. More pictures please when you mount them on the truck. Thanks.

 

Installed my OME lift today, was hoping for a little more out of the front end but all in all its great

 

Got crazy with a little plasti dip

 

This is the mod that my wife would be like, "wtf are you doing"

 

Pics?

 

I changed from OEM on our 2010 Corolla and all aftermarket blades skipped across the windshield. The only blades that ran smooth were OEM 'Toyota Brand' from the dealership.

What's the opinion on the best Windshield Wipers for the Tacoma (2013 TRD O/R Mall Rated)?
