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

Excellent. Planning on doing mine and the steps when the rain lets up a bit. We'll see how the steps work out. If not, ills and them and use some kinda Bedliner paint.

 

Ya wtf?! I only got those because I heard they were NOT slippery? Mine should be here any day now

 

Hopefully it's just when they are really new

 

Put the topper on

 

What throws me off is that I researched these forevvvvver, and never heard about it till after i placed my order lol

 

If you hadn't figured this out yet check your tail light fuse

 

I did figure that one out. I think I even realized why it makes sense that the dash lights and tail lights would be on the same fuse (driver doesn't really see the tail lights much, does see the dash constantly), I even knew exactly the moment when I blew the fuse, just couldn't find which fuse blew. I wish this kind of detail was in the manual somewhere, though.

 

I find that when you place your foot on these, your foot will slowly creep forward. That's them dry. Now if you step in any kind of moisture or even damp grass, it's slippery. I also ordered them because people said they weren't as bad as weathertechs. Weathertechs must be like ice then.

 

I'm going through leatherseats.com. I emailed them for a few samples to match the colors, and had them within a few days. The sales rep was really polite and helpful. They have a lot of options for prices. Premium options are full leather, while the cheapest has leather seat fronts with vinyl on the sides and back. They start low, around like $700 for the full interior. For the options I picked (two tone seat fronts, perforated leather), its about $850. Obviously that doesn't include install, but its a great price in my book.

A guy on the GTO forum went through them and did the install himself. They came out looking great.

EDIT: here was the install thread from the guy who ordered through them:

Ceramic tint including windshield. Really nice and dark but still legal. Need it for the Florida sun. One pic before and two after.

 

I wish this was CA legal. Was 106 this last week, we can't tint darker than 77% here on the front windows and windshield. Which is essentially NOTHING

 

Over the last month: installed total chaos/ icon suspension lift, trd trails team wheels (fjc) with bfg ko2 tires, Toyota roof rack, caliraised led light bar w/ license plate relocation and just completed fog light anytime mod. Have relentless fab sliders on order too. Really happy with the outcome. Since I've been spending so much time on my truck my wife has been feeling a little ignored so today I put this on her key ring today just to fuck with her. My friend cut it out on plasma table for me

 

My windshield is clear ceramic coated but the ceramic tint blocks heat by about double the legal tint here.

 

I've heard the ceramic works miracles like that. I'm considering doing it on my front end too since I have to park out in the sun. That and a remote start (to get the AC running) should make life pretty tolerable.

 

Tacked up my Relentless Fab DIY bumper today. Gonna try to weld it all up tomorrow and then flap disc and paint the next

 

Looking at a demo of it I was impressed. But they are sure proud $$$ of it.

 

I certainly hope that's not a scale model of the real thing. If it is, well damn that would suck

 

My WeatherTechs are brand new and not slick at all. Just had a bunch of rain yesterday and no slipping around once so ever.

In other news, I got a rough finish Anderson Aluminum ball mount and proceeded to step sand and polish it to a chrome like finish. Now all I need is a stainless ball for it and all set in the bling department.




It looked like this to start off with:

 

Looks great! How long did that take you? Forever and a day?
