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

Noooooo! so shiney!
Isn't the product of aluminum reacting with oxygen stronger than aluminum itself?
aluminum oxide if I remember correctly.

I mean, its going to look so damn good no matter what! just mounted mine and feels good to know they're down there for sure!

 

Love my OEM head unit w nav. Nice job sir!

 

Your Welcome Nazz!! Glad it worked out! Awesome pictures of your trip, and congratulations on the occupation Transfer! Wish you the Best Man!

 

with these, is a noticeable difference while just going down the road?

 

Probably depends on the road.

 

Took these off this morning since they were rubbing with the new tires.

 

Did you just put tape around the chrome surround next to the shift lever when painting?

 

My Taco passed the Mass. State inspection with flying colors!
Guy was impressed with the 301,000+ miles .... it's a Tacoma!

 

I fixed mine a couple years ago. It's acting up again. Doesn't seem to work unless it's over 40F and in the afternoon.

 

a couple things I have done over the past couple days. I ordered new ac knobs about 2 weeks ago and got them in and installed them. also, decided that I am going to install a light bar in the lower valance and will be using an oem switch. just like my bed lights I got another but different fj aux light switch (changed the bulbs) and will wire that for the bar.

 

Yes I taped it off, a little overspray here and there, but some paint thinner (actually brake clean is what I had) wiped it right off before cured.

 

I had to do mine a few times. If it isn't soldered right (from what I observed) it will work intermittently and the resistor will get very hot. I found I had to hold the soldering iron on the connection of the resistor long enough to properly heat it so the solder would flow into where it needed to be. Simply touching the solder would ball it up and not melt it to where it needed to be. I'm no expert but that's what I found with mine.

 

Fixed my rocker panels. Had a rust hole near the back corner. Used hug build stone shield, followed by bc/cc. Turned out pretty good, and the stone shield is very forgiving, hides the imperfections of my body work nicely!

 

Makes me feel better about my mine haha just hit 180,000 and started to think, how much money do I really want to put into a car with that many miles..

 

Does anyone know what light bulb to use for the steering wheel controls possibly LED, and how to go about changing them?

 

Been following the filter thread so I went ahead and ordered one from Amazon. Installed it yesterday along with an oil change.

 

Yes, nice plush ride going through dips in the road or over speed bumps

 

Just ordered 2 from Amazon, does the cover just unscrew-unbolt?

 

Indeed. One bolt and that's it.

 

the cover is snapped in. Just use a small screwdriver and pry it off and up. Then remove the the inside cover with the torx bit.
