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

Thanks man!

 

Ball joints possibly. Had a clunk too and then bam, ball joint failed doing 70 on my way to
disney!!!

 

After letting our 2012 get dirty as hell, we were leaving it at the airport and wanted the yuck to be a theft deturant, I decided it was time for a more detail.

Dish soap, to get ride of existing wax. Clay bar, to get rid of water spots. You can never appreciate how dirty you rig is until you use clay! Meguiar's Ultimate Polish follower by Cleaner Wax then Carnauba wax. Five hours later, a pretty truck.

I must day I love the smell of the wax. I wish my underwear came out of the dryer smelling as good! I think I will write Downey and ask for a new scent for their product.

Sorry, no photos. I almost collapsed after doing this. I can not believe some people do the crap for a living.

Putting on recovery hook and a-arm skid plates today. That should be easy.

 

Swapped spring on my coilovers

 

It's not what I have done but what I'm having done to my Tacoma.
Currently at Toyota dealership getting new leaf springs replaced due to the recall.

Kinda lucked out today on all this.

I was scheduled for an appointment only for an inspection of the leaf springs but then the service manager calls me an explains to me that a previous customer had cancelled their ordered leaf springs for their replacement due to the fact they had since sold the vehicle. So says that it was too late to stop the order and that they already had them. Asked if I had the time that they could replace them now that I was there for the inspection.

I say yes, go ahead and start on it!
Mine is the 2008 Desert Sand Mica colored one that is right next/behind the black TRD sport.

Out with the old leaf springs.

 

Replacing passenger side LCA

 

New bulbs came in today

 

Nice! It will be a year in November since I installed mine and they are still going strong!

 

Any load resistors or anything to run them?

 

Each bulb will have it's own control module (small box). Just plug each one into the plug for each bulb, connect the lights and you're done. Oh, you will need to unscrew the heat-sink so you can get the rubber boot over the bulb, then put it back on. Very simple installation.

 

How much they run?

 

Any issues with these? Easy to install? I could use set!

 

Do you even track day bro?

 

Non-functional scoop my @$$!

 

Good to hear. Plan on putting them in tomorrow

 

$200 shipped using the never expiring coupon they have advertised

Yea, not cheap. Well worth not having bulb out issues and it's a bulb designed for the h4 headlight. No glaring other drivers and still bright as hell. Just check out all the reviews
