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

Where did you get the reverse lights? Ever since tinting my windows...

 

Haha!!!!

I got everything from @csjumper2003

Going to order the turn signals (rear) and some lights for the Rav4 next.

Stopped at HD and got supplies for painting the bumper too.

Is the bumper bare metal? If so, you might want to hit it with an etching primer first. Something like this:

I can't tell for sure but the primer you have doesn't look like self-etching primer. You'll get better adhesion with the etching primer.

Dang it, I didn't see that.

That's for the heads up, I will have to switch that out for sure.

THIS.

I used that etching primer on my sliders (but didn't paint close to where the welding was, because paint catches fire when you weld on/next to it).

I didn't post about it but I think the rustoleum bedliner I got from lowes was OLD. I had 3 of 4 cans be total bitches and barely let any paint out of them. Super annoying and took way longer than it should have if I'd had good paint flow.

@ChadsPride
I'm going to get some of those reverse lights right now! Thanks for the recommendation.

 

You got it!!! 10/10 quality and service from Jumper!

 

ECGS Bushing will be here tomorrow so I got a headstart on tearing my truck apart...

 

Installed a paper towel holder.

 

Stuck with 35s trying to sell

 

That picture is reversed right? Because you only have to pull the driver side CV to do that job.

 

Sux to be you....

 

beat me 2 it

 

Ok, finally got the knobs. I know it's so last month, how can I get amber light to shine through them? Get some little amber bulb condoms, or try and color them with a sharpie or something.

 

Just ordered some thanks

 

There is a zinc primer that is weld-through. I use it when mating sheet-metal patches on car restorations. It does not burn. It comes in a rattle can, I use the SEM brand but there are other brands, even DupliColor makes one. You can get it at auto paint resellers or maybe Napa can get it, also it's available from Amazon . Always follow it up with an etching primer once the welding is done, then a build primer.
Found the weld through on Amazon here:

$46 SEM 39783 Weld-Thru Primer - 13 oz.

https://www.amazon.com/SEM-39783-Weld-Thru-Primer-oz/dp/B00063ZPBU (Chad, you do NOT need this, you need an etching primer only since you're not welding on your bumper).

90% of a good paint job is the prep and priming. Took me a long time and a lot of tears to learn this.

 

Are these a simple plug and play ...

 

Is that an original quad or a reproduction? Sick!

 

Yes these items are all plug n play.

 

yes Tim sometimes it does

 

Think you'll at least be able to make an appearance at my Toyota meet this Saturday?
