Cheap/Free Mods

I just got done doing this mod and it works great. Thanks

 

Now my bright lights will be BRIGHT. Took 20 minutes and looks bad ass

 

Speaking of cheap/free mods, I had a busy weekend.

- Fog lights always on
- Bike mount in bed tray
- Mag light mounted
- Bottle opener in bed

 

I was really getting tired of the orange glow of the dash in my taco. especially next to my bright blue alpine stereo so i spent like 20 bucks to change it up a little with some blue leds. i think it looks sweet, tell me what you think......

 

i like the blue leds

 

do you think the paint will hold up good did you have to put any primer or any prep work

 

2 cheap easy mods are subwoofer light and truck pee mod
-for the sub light you get some speaker wire and any led light (i used an interior festoon led) then solder the speaker wire to the ends of the light and mount the light somewhere in the car and stick the two wires in the back of the sub box and now the light will come on as the bass hits!!


for the truck pee mod, go to a hose shop or anywhere that they sell car stuff. open your hood and follow the windshield sprayer nozzles' tubes and pop the passenger side one out. then with the new hose you bought (it was about 15 cents a foot) stick that in and then cut it so that it sticks out the side when you close your hood. then stick the nozzle in that you bought (was about 10 cents) so that it shoots far. and now you can pee on those dumb people that "piss" you off

 

Another method of the pee mod is to turn on your wipers and at the same time spray some WD40 out you window using a tube. This will cover the windshield of the asshole who is tailgating you. When he turns his wipers on to clear it, it will smear so badly that he will have to pull over and you are long gone. Just make sure if it gets on your paint too, to wash it off soon.

 

I got some small LED & put them in each box in the bed with on off switch

Put back up lights on, there was already bolts on the rear bumber so NO drilling...LOL

Cig lighter in the rear box , Weather proof at Walmart for 9.00

 

man thats funny but i dont want to kill him

 

This is a great thread. Is it just me, or was stickied in technical chat until recently?

 

I have a question related to your picture at the bottom of your posts, I guess that's a mod kinda, plus it's probably cheap. I was wondering what you made the emblem out of and how? I've been thinking of making a custom emblem for when I get my tacoma. Thanks for your help.

 

If any one wants to add a led to ther glove box & center consol they will need the following 2 switches from digakey # 800-858-3616. 59140-040-nd & 57140-000-nd. A total including shipping is 16.42 You open it & the light comes on & you close it & it goes off.

 

Im sorry to be such a newb but iv been looking all over and cant seem to find what im looking for. is it possible to disable the abs on the sport models? i have a 2010 trd sport and iv found how to do it for the off road. is it the same? Sorry if this is a repetitive topic im just really getting frustrated
thanks

 

I believe it's the same as it works on trucks without the e-locker as well (I think....).

 

I want to do my lights like this for my nerf bars. Should I run this through a fuse or what?

 

always run your shit through a fuse. You can get fuse holders at any store that sells automotive stuff.

 

Yeah I was kinda thinking that. I just don't know much about this crap yet. LOL.
I guess its kinda one of those experience things. Appreciate the input.

 

Rear Breather MOD done today , 6 feet of 1/4 fuel line is all you need....Parts 12.00 from the dealer....

 

Re: New MapLight Mod
Quick question for everyone who has done this mod. Has anyone had issues with blowing the fuse for the interior lights? I have led map and led dome lights so I am wondering if that is why the fuse is blowing. I did everything exactly as described but as soon as I try to turn on the light the fuse goes out....

Let me know if you have any suggestions as to what could be wrong or if this has happened to anyone else if they know why..

Thanks
