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

Did you get a title for it? I would have done the same thing as you, she couldn't have gotten the money in her hand fast enough. You definitely got a great deal. You might be able to use it to deliver stuff from your place of work in Fletcher when it raining.

 

Nope, I have not noticed brake dust sticking to it. Mud and such sticks to it maybe a bit more because of the texture but I don't see that as being an issue.

 

Is there a link for how too??
I could use some help.

 

thanks i got bored 1 day so i took it off, cleaned it, and used up some plasti dip i had left some day maybe i'll be able to afford a nice aluminum bumper and skid

 

Jesus those wheels are in bad shape! They will look so much better with the derp. Stuff some plastic bags in the holes to cover the rotors and such. then just start spraying. Follow the instructions on the bottle and shake it like mad for a while. I'd recommend the spray gun attachment so you don't get your fingers dirty. Like spray paint, don't get too close or go to heavy or it will run. Rotate the car wheel 180 and get the spots you missed. You might peel off some of the flakes before hand also.

 

it's easy just pop it off then pop out the emblem, tape up the black part, clean the chrome really well i use a mild reducer, then i sprayed six coats of white and 4 coats of glossifier. the more coats you put on the easier it peels off. i use the glossifier on the white because it kinda seals it form staining and you can scrub the bugs off easier. i didn't like it on the black. i may buy an actual color matched grill someday but hell it looks good to me.

 

OK were do I buy this plastic dip????

 

they're the oznium led bolts there is a thread on here with very good instructions. the wiring is very easy the only difficult part i had was tightening the led bolts themselves theres no provisions for putting a wrench or something on them to hold them while you tighten them i think i had like $25 in materials and i ordered an extra light

 

link the write-up by chance?

 

lowes ,walmart, home depot

 

idk how im not very good with these things i'll see if i can find it again

 

How many cans for each wheel is needed?

I found the best way to tighten them was to use the allen wrench head on the light it self

 

how difficult is it to remove the white shell surrounding the black grill portion?

 

1 will allow you 7-9 coats the thicker the better but with light coats

 

Buy a few cans. It depends on how many coats you want to do. It's cheap stuff so use it until it looks nice.

 

hey man go under search and enter raptor lights. scroll down until you see a post for DIY raptor lights if your on the right 1 the first pic should be of a black car

 

time consuming more then difficult, just go slow so as not to snap off any of the clips, I actually pulled my of twice. The second time I hooked them into the DTRL so they will blink with the turn signals and when the truck is locked and unlocked.

 

well damn i don't remember seeing a place for an allen that would have been outstanding

 

nice! I still have my old chrome grill, I'll probably practice removing it on that one
