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

@rcsb jon you lose the actual height of the overload leaf, which IIRC is about 1/2".

You also lose 10% of pack strength/load handling capacity.

 

Did the rear diff breather mod behind the tail light.

 

We need a review! Auto or manual? How often have you serviced transmission?

 

It was pointed out by another member. I have fixed it and installed it the way it should be. Let that be a lesson to everyone, that the instruction should always be referred to - no matter how many beers you have had.

 

Painted my emblem gloss black

 

Nice set up man. What kind of headlights are you running??

 

One of my cheapo 194 LED map lights started flickering...so i pulled it out and put it back in (apparently backwards) and blew the fuse for my dome lights. When that fuse blows, you loose the dome light, both map lights, and the clock.

Went to walmart and found one variety pack that had the 7.5 dome fuse in it. Bought it and two new "super bright" 6000k Sylvannia 194 LEDs. Installed it all and reset my clock.

Moral of the story, don't buy cheap LEDs, get good ones the first time.

 

Looks like I got a busy weekend ahead...

 

Not that bad of a job. It's taking off the rusty bolts that's going to be a pain.

 

They're Homemade from theretrofitsource. Apollo 2.0 square shrouds and projectors

 

Nice well they look great!!

 

I ordered these from superbrightleds.com almost 4 years ago. So they lasted a long time...but they were less than $2 a piece. They were Chinese....so go figure on their quality

Around here, they're $7-10 a piece for sylvannias.

 

Mine are Phillips I think

 

I'm planning on just cutting the bolts that are seized with a sawzall, some of these

And tapping them out with a punch. The ones I think will be interesting are the ecgs bushing and the carrier bearing.

 

Finally got rid of my ugly derp'd chrome grille for a color matched grille. I added a mesh insert from @HomerTaco. Looks so much better! Toyota... STOP WITH THE CHROME MADNESS! For those going the DIY route by adding the mesh yourself... you don't have to relocate the horns or trim the hood latch on a 12-15 unless you want to. I'll relocate mine just for looks behind the grille, but only after I finish my supercharger install and figure out where the hell everything is going.

 

Replaced and cleaned up the headlight and grille mounting hardware. Stainless screws and black screw caps.

Before -






After -

 

I assume that's a pressure switch for hood lights behind your headlight. Do you have a link to where you got it?

 

What is that yellow thing on your mirror?

Truck looks good with the color match grill!

 

Me? Its a ground switch for the underhood lights.

Its a momentary switch from Lowes, with an added stainless fender washer and neoprene washer to dress it up. I added a rubber cap on it to keep it from marking the hood.
